We had an absolutely incredible experience working with Sarah to plan our 2-week trip to the Philippines! From start to finish, she went above and beyond to ensure our trip was perfect. She took the time to listen to our preferences and customized an itinerary that included all the locations and excursions we wanted, plus a few amazing surprises we hadn't even thought of. Every part of our trip was well-organized, and the logistics were seamless.

What stood out the most was how easy it was to communicate with Sarah. She was always quick to respond to any questions we had, no matter the time difference, and her suggestions were spot on. We never felt lost or confused about the next step in our journey because she had everything mapped out for us.

Overall, we couldn't be happier with the service and planning that Sarah provided. If you're looking to visit the Philippines, we highly recommend working with her—you won't be disappointed!

Cami was great to work with. She did a wonderful job booking everything we needed. Our tour guide, Rich, was so fun and told us all about the island of Palawan. He even bought different foods for us to try. Ana, in Manila, was quieter, but still a great guide.
