If you are not familiar with The Philippines, this page may help you make up
your mind about your itinerary. Explore Exotic Philippines – delight your senses with an amazing variety, remarkably free of the trappings
of mass tourism !
Let us try to give you a kind of frame, based on our experience. Depending on your personal preferences and family circumstances, combined
with things you want to see / do, plus the time you have, it might help you choose a destination suitable to your needs.
Please bear in mind that the daily challenge we face in our travel agency is that “holiday or vacation” is perceived differently
by each individual.And by each nationality. Something “touristy” in The Philippines might be just up to your standards. “Not
soo touristy” in The Philippines means quickly without the amenities and food variety you might be used too to relax.
