“It’s a great & Fantastic tour showcasing the Philippine Highlands. The Cave was the overall Winner for me. Plus theres hiking, a cemetery and rice paddies.There are some issues to be aware of. If you’re being transported in a Premium Van, under no circumstances should there be more than 12 passengers unless you want a painful journey. As well the tour should not depart Manila after 7pm. Also if you’re not a picky eater you’re introduced to Filipino cuisine! I do recommend this tour”
