Private tour in Puerto Princessa (half day).

scoverdale, Mar 2024

The whole experience was fabulous. From the help from Viator with the booking, the flexibility of the tour company when NCL changed port times to the actual tour. Both guide Jerome and driver were great. They looked after us very well. Informative and friendly. The weaving demonstration was very cute (children showed my wife how to weave). Great tour.

Great tour and guide for a smaller town

Darren_D, Feb 2024

This was a great tour to get all of the highlights in and around the Puerto Princesa area. The town is up and coming so the fact that our guide, Jed, was local to the area added a whole new and worthwhile perspective. He was very informative and answered all our questions. The sites aren’t fancy but they have history and significance to the area. I highly recommend the tour and Jed as a guide.

Enjoyable tour

Connor_J, Feb 2024

Sadly did not attend the Croc farm which is the main reason for the tour due to a vote of not going which wasn't really fair. Enjoyed the other parts a lot.

Instead of cruise ship tour

Cynthia_A, Jan 2024

Trip was organized: we felt well taken care of More than half the price of the cruise ship tour with more people!

City tour Puerto Princesa

Villiams_R, Nov 2023

Amazing half day tour of Puerto princesa, Philippines from the cruise port. The guide was amazing. I Recommend them 100%

Fantastic Value

Mark_S, Nov 2023

I go on lots of tours but rarely leave reviews. This tour however needs to be highlighted - for the duration, price, local knowledge and general enjoyment, its probably one of the best tours I've been on.

True experience

Manon_D, Sep 2023

First let’s start with the weather conditions that were not good. Super rainy day. It is not the fault of the tour guide but they should cancel the tour in case of rains. We didn’t see anything. They just took us from one souvenirs shop to another one. We are really disappointed and would not recommend at all.

Great Tour- Thanks Syong

Stephen_H, Apr 2023

Great morning tour. Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the sights with Syong who was a great guide & most helpful with taking pics for us.

Don’t go for this tour!

Mareike_G, Mar 2023

That was one of the worst experiences on the Philippines. The driver came almost 60 minutes late. I informed myself about the delay - there was no proactive information. There was also no apology or anything. The tour guide (a lady) was so unprepared and couldn’t really tell anything about the places, which we visited. Her only information was about the minutes, which we can spend at one destination. She manipulated the group in order to go the crocodile “park”. She talked very bad about the region around El Nido and told the guests, that everybody gets sick there because of the bad water quality. Overall it was really one of the worst experiences globally. Whenever you are in Puerto Princesa, please avoid this tour. It’s not worth any money or your time .

Jennica_A, Oct 2022

Nice tour. Especially in the Baker's Hill, the bread is so good. Also, the Palawan Wildlife is so informative, if you're into wildlife, you will enjoy it. The tour guide/driver was also nice and comfortable to be with.

Worst Visiting

hbtila, Feb 2020

Great City trip covering all major tourist spots within a very short period of 4-hours. Worth visiting for all tourists.

Really good

Becka C, Apr 2019

The guide for this tour was very knowledgeable and had a clear understanding of all attractions. She gave us ample time at each place and even acted as photographer for the couples and myself when we wanted pictures. The sites were brilliant. I wasn't overly fussed about souvenir shopping but the other guests really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend this tour

For the price of the tour, you can't...

Manuel C, Apr 2017

For the price of the tour, you can't go wrong. There are so many historical events in Palawan like the plaza where they have remnants of the World War 2 prisoners. The old church and the walk ways along the water is relaxing. People are friendly and accomodating. Don't miss this tour.
