This trip was amazing. Our driver was Anthony, he was friendly, helpful and got us to Banaue and back safely. Once at Banaue we stayed in the Banaue Homestay. The accommodation is basic but very clean and the hospitality is out of this world. Our local guide was Kenneth and he was amazing. He was knowledgeable, patient, kind and had a nice sense of humor. He is native to the area and we were honored to learn from him. This was the trip of a lifetime.

This is Manila. It’s a city filled with history from different influences: Spanish, Chinese, and of course, Filipino. Experience Manila like a local and explore the inner streets to get a first-hand glimpse of the everyday life of Filipinos. The Manileño Tour will take you around Manila in the best way we know how: via commute. A visit to Manila is not complete without riding a jeepney and a kalesa (Filipino horse carriage). Tour around the Spanish walls of Intramuros, busy markets of Divisoria, cultural streets of Chinatown, and momentous grounds of Rizal Park.

Inclusions: Lunch

We did a Bangkok temple tour and visit to bridge over the river Kwai. Pete was our tour guide and he is exceptional at what he does. He is very well known within the trade and if you’re with Pete you are a VIP. Kom was our driver and shuttled is to and from airport and our adventures! He is a great driver I would not want to drive there!

I was travelling as a solo female and JB and his team put together a custom-made tour based on the places I wanted to see. From start to finish I was very well looked after, given additional experiences that I would not have thought of doing and felt very safe during the whole trip. The highlights for me were the caves tour and Rice Terraces/Waterfall walk in Sagada but the whole trip was amazing and I would recommend JB!

My friends and I went to Boracay way back May 2019 to celebrate my birthday. Was looking for an adventure that we can enjoy. Then I came across this diving at Ariel's point for whole day. I didn't regret doing this as activity as we really had a good time. We went to the meeting point in the morning, went on a boat ride for half an hour. On-board we had unlimited drinks of soda, liquor and beers which is really cool! when we arrived at the area we were given instructions by the staff. You can dive from 5m, 10m or 15m. And if you get tired from jumping or don't feel doing it you may, paddle boarding and kayaking. The location also was secluded and very clean!
