An unforgettable experience

I had the most amazing time on this tour absolutely loved everything but particularly the boat trip from coron to el nido but also having Sam as group leader made a massive difference he was so welcoming, kind and created such a nice environment which made it super easy for everyone to get to know eachother especially when travelling solo. He dealt with some very difficult situations (cancelled flights) which he handled absolutely incredibly and made everyone feel at ease even when things didn’t go to plan, I can’t praise the support and help we got from him enough thankyou so much Sam 😊😊

Pros
  • beautiful beaches
  • incredible people
  • fun activities

Amazing Tour

I have just finished the Philippines Island Explorer trip with INTRO Travel and I absolutely loved it! The Philippines is such a beautiful country and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The waters and the beaches here are unbelievable.

My favourite activities on this trip has to be the sardine run, there were so many 😳 also the 3 day boat trip was really special, I enjoyed the togetherness of the islands in the evening sat around the campfire playing games. The group leader was amazing and really made this trip that extra bit better so I can’t thank him enough!

Incredible trip with an amazing leader!

Just finished the 13 day Philippines trip and wanted to share how amazing the experience was! The sights, activities and experiences were all incredible and I’m so lucky to have made such incredible memories with an awesome group of people. The canyoneering was a definite highlight.

Without a doubt the trip was made by our group leader, Sam Smith. If you’re a fan of dad jokes and pop culture references, you’re in for a treat. Even if you’re not, Sam’s energy, enthusiasm, positivity and knowledge of the different areas is second to none. He struck the perfect balance between being our responsible group leader and being a much-loved part of the group. Thank you, Sam!

Pros
  • Once in a lifetime experiences
  • Outstanding group leader
  • Meeting like-minded people

Amazing experience

I absolutely loved this trip! The tour leader really takes care of u. They have all the flights and ferries handled for you and so many wonderful included activities. After this trip you will really love everything about the Philippines and my highlight was definitely the 3day boat trip. The islands, the ocean, the beaches, the food just everything was amazing. The Philippines is really a beautiful place that I recommend visiting and specially with Intro Travel. But overall my tour leader Sam Smith definitely made the trip 10/10🫶🏻

Not to be missed

Just finished the tour with Sam as my group leader and I cannot recommend it highly enough! Everything from meals to accommodation to activities is sorted for you and you’re so well taken care of. The activities themselves are great fun and so varied from boat trips, canyoneering and some cultural visits to churches etc. The 3 day boat trip is a definite highlight. Sam as a group leader was incredible. He couldn’t do enough for you and had so much knowledge about the Philippines and ways we could make our trip better beyond the tour as well including local restaurants, gyms and activities. Cannot fault the experience in any way.

The amazing 13 day Tour in the Philippines

I’ve just finished the amazing 13 day Intro tour around the absolutely beautiful Philippines.
What an insane experience it was!
I can’t recommend this company and tour enough, we covered so many different locations.
What is unique about this company is that there are so so many unbelievably fun activities which are all included, with no extra fees along the way. With lovely accommodation and food too.
We were also all looked after so well by our super fun and friendly tour leader Sam Smith. ☀️ 🇵🇭

Incredible trip!

My partner and I have just arrived home following the intro Philippines tour, with 18 others and Sam, our tour lead. I would change nothing about this tour and would recommend to any who is looking to see a slice of the Philippines.

Sam was amazing and relieved any stress we had following 24 hours of travelling almost immediately with his relaxed and welcoming manner. He remained kind and considerate throughout the tour, going above and beyond to ensure everyones needs were met! He had great knowledge of the local areas we visited, and it was evident he had build good relationships with local guides that join you throughout the tour, which just adds to the overall positive experience. Thank you so much Sam for an incredible trip, it was amazing!

Awesome trip

The Philippines is an amazing country and with the tour you get to see some of the highlights from incredible beaches to beautiful waterfalls. The activities you get to do along the way are also great with highlights for me being the canyoneering, the sardine run and visiting some of the beautiful Catholic churches. Throughout it all my group leaders Kyle and Sophie were always there to help us out. From tackling transport issues to answering any and all questions along the way. They made the trip fun and relaxing.
