About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- nathanpK890EZ0 contributionsAmazing Nature and Tour GuideWe had an amazing time with our tour Guide Zohan. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture and made us feel very welcome. Good variance in activities such as spelunking in caves, to exploring in waterfall and trying local foods. A once in a lifetime experience!Written November 13, 2024
- Oeliram0 contributionsGreat Intramuros Free TourThe Intramuros Free Tour in Manila with Nina as our tour guide was informative and interesting. During this short tour Nina took us to different landmarks as well as to the local market and pointed out local foods and habits. We ended with a skyview of Manila at the Bayleaf hotel. Thank you Nina!Written May 21, 2024
- AliObz0 contributionsThis is a fantastic tour to doThis is a fantastic tour to do. If you have Miguelita and Dana as your guides, it’s even better! Unfortunately I couldn’t ride on the ferry as it was closed for the national holiday so we ended up getting a taxi to Quiapo. That was the only downside (if you can even call it that). You will learn a lot on the city tour (fun fact: Binondo is the oldest Chinatown in the world) and see a few beautiful churches. After the city tour, we rode a jeepney to Intramuros which was another great part of the tour and it sparked great discussion amongst the group. I have to praise Miguelita and Dana again because they were so attentive and patient with the group.Written April 20, 2024
- paulined8670 contributionsA must!What a great fun day! Stella and her team are fantastic guides and made the day really enjoyable. Lots of food to try, lots of history to learn and a really lovely group to meet on the tour. Thank you 😊Written April 18, 2024
- 668gabrielea0 contributionsGreat experienceThe experience overall was amazing, I’ve missed the ferry in the morning because of traffic but they have organised it so I could rejoin them after the ferry ride. Food and cultural tour, Grace and Janill were very knowledgeable, friendly and always available. Overall a great experience.Written April 12, 2024
- barbaragG1191PJ0 contributionsNice tourChristine was a very clever and nice girl we enjoy the tour, she explain the place we visit, I suggest to use this experienceWritten March 28, 2024
- Nicholas D0 contributionsDefinite must do!We were in Manilla only for a few days, and thus tour caught my attention. It's a jam packed day, but neither do you feel rushed or a trip to tick off the boxes. You get to spend ample time at each place and meet the locals, our guide mark despite one review on here giving a 1 star was absolutely amazing. Friendly, clear on what the plan is, and you can clearly see he has a passion for Phillipine history and involving the locals. Honestly this is the best tour I've been on in all of South East Asia period. Even at the end when time was limited he offered to stay on and do one more stop if we wanted to, however the line at this stop was very long so we as a group were happy to call it a day. Not only do you see a volcano, you meet lots of cool locals, some grest history in old manilla and honestly again the tour guide mark absolutely made the whole trip worth it. If you want an in depth day, and get a true understanding of Philippine culture, this is a must do tour. On top of top of all this Mark will provide with you meny recommendations and tips for the rest of your Philippine trip. If I could hire him and his driver Jay for the whole time I would.Written February 24, 2024
- imogenc9660 contributionsVery disappointing - needs dramatic improvementThe tour guide was friendly but had a strong accent and most of the group found him very hard to understand. Unfortunately this was one of the most badly organised tours I've ever been on. We were told we would start our day with a ferry ride but when we reached the ferry the tickets had sold out. I don't understand why this weren't purchased in advance (we bought the tour tickets in advance). Even in the morning 90m before the ferry departed the tour guide and his assistant were around so there seemed to be plenty of opportunity to have this sorted out beforehand. We then experienced a very hot, stuff, squished in cars for a long drive instead. We saw a church and a local market where the guide bought us some fruit to try. We were all quite hungry and grumpy at that point with lots of waiting around and having had one big thing go wrong on the tour already. I think it would have been better to have put out some of the little local snacks (bought from shops while we waited in the blazing heat with no shade) for us right at the beginning so we could try them while we were waiting for the tour to start. That would have been better organisation and a much better guest experience. It would also have been good to have some more substantial street food along with the fruit as everyone was hungry as this point. We did a walking tour of the financial district and China town. The guide walked ahead of the group and was hard to understand so most of the group didn't get much information. Then we attempted the first lunch stop. I say attempted because the restaurant was full and turned us away. We went to another place but had to wait about 30-40m to be seated (again in the blazing heat with limited shade). The guide invited us to order but it wasn't made clear that anything extra would be charged to us as there were some basic dishes included. This caused issues with payment and upset several of the guests. No drinks were included. Honestly the lunch stop wasn't worth it, especially for the stress involved. I think it would have been better to go somewhere where we could reserve for the group and/or try more street food instead. We were all full after lunch but that's when the 'heavier' street food started to come out - pork buns, wraps etc. Not easy to enjoy these on a full stomach and a bit frustrating when we had all been very hungry in the morning. We then took Jeepneys and then Tuk Tuks to look around Intramures. This was a fun bit of the tour and it was easier to hear/understand the guide as it was a quieter part of town. Note there are NO bamboo bikes included on this tour. We found the Bamboo bike people and they do still offer bikes to hire but no longer work with this tour company - we suspect there was an accident and this had to be suspended. That's understandable but it should be removed from the tour description. After not having the ferry, not getting the bikes and lunch/food being so badly organised this last part of the tour was definitely the highlight. We also tried the very bizarre Halo Halo ice cream... containing sweetcorn, beans, jello etc. I think a lot of work needs to be done for this tour to be dramatically improved for guests.Written February 21, 2024
- mackenziemJ7796WH0 contributions4-day tour of Sagada and BanaueThe four-day tour to Sagada and Banaue offered by Abraham Tours had high reviews when I found it online, but after experiencing it for myself, I must sing its praises. My phenomenal experience in Sagada and Banaue is largely thanks to my tour guide, Zohan. His attention to detail, intentional diversions to the itinerary to accommodate group interests, and open sharing of his culture was something I will not forget. While this trip is open to all ages, I would recommend for those ages 18-50 or so. This is due to the physical demand of the trip, which includes two overnight buses, hiking, walking to attractions, and carrying of luggage to multiple places. If you are open-minded and eager to learn about Indigenous culture and peoples of the Philippines, this trip is a must. Thanks, Zohan!Written February 16, 2024
- genal2670 contributionsPamilacan Island PhilippinesThe „Call it Paradise - Pamilacan Island Day Tour“ is probably the best thing you can do in Bohol! We took the boat just in a small group. The stuff was always very polite and attentive! We saw dolphins, turtles, a lot of colourful fishes and corals! After the snorkeling you will have an authentic tour to the island. You will see how the locals life, you will explore secret and lost beaches and you can buy little selfmade souvenirs. But the best: Philippines food and a fresh coconut inclusive! Wow! We are still speechless. Thanks Abraham Bohol! 😍🙏Written January 25, 2024
- lilpea085500 contributionsA MUST do in ManilaWOW. This tour packs a lot into one day and it is so informative. Our tour guide Jen was amazing, it felt like she had interesting tidbits of knowledge to share with us every few minutes or so. Not only did we learn a lot, but we also ate A LOT. Like, A LOT. Jen was also able to recommend good places for us to go later on and how to get there. 15/10 would recommend. Really, really well done.Written January 13, 2024
- René P0 contributionsA great day to spend...Where shall I start: 1. Everything goes through the Tourist Office. First check the price list (see in picture) what you want than go to the first station to register and pay...than to tourist guide station...than to boat...so it takes about 1hour before you go..ok! Also you only visit about 5 - 7 island and you can book some activities. Bring enough water with you also sunscreen and hat! It was a great trip but avoid weekend or holidays🤪🥺Liz & Rene from Switzerland 🇨🇭 at IG: @renepeter57Written January 9, 2024
- andaluciaa20230 contributionsGood show caseFernando and the rest of the team was good in show casing the Philippines. All was great except for the (bamboo bike ride) that didn't happen. As for transportation going back to the meeting point, staff are very indecisive.Written January 8, 2024
- craigc7670 contributionsExcellent tourGood and informative tour of Manila. Different neighborhoods and sites like Intramerous. Really left with good feel for the city. Fernando tour guide excellent. Only minor recommendation start tour at 9 not 830. We spent an hour waiting for initial ferry ride. But that was minor thing.Written January 4, 2024

My friend and I had an amazing day. The journey to the falls was amazing, we stopped along the way to interact with the locals and experience taking their local mode of transportation,
which was a trolley ride. At the end of the ride, we got this amazing coconut pie and ate this mystery fruit. The canoe ride to the fall was another wonderful experience. Being surrounded by nature and its beauty is an experience I won't forget. To top it off, we were able to eat some local cuisine to conclude the tour. The tour guides were absolutely amazing as well.

An amazing fantastic canoe boat ride through scenery something out of Jurassic park. It is well worth the 2hr drive from Manila to see this spectacular river. The staff are also very friendly.

This was a really nice escape from Metro Manila, allowing you to see some of the beauty of the Philippines on the way to Laguna. Our tour guides took great care of us. We enjoyed the entire experience. The trip to the falls was both peaceful and exciting.
