The tour is a natural...

Bill_H, Feb 2025
The tour is a natural wonder. Very interesting and unique. A Must See place for natural wonders! Just as important was the coordination by Viator. We were updated on the weather; our guide picked us up from the cruise ship; our driver was great; our guide managed to help get us to the front of several lines and we could not ask for more!! Great job Viator!

April is the bomb...

April, our tour guide was wonderful. We beat the traffic and was in and out quickly. April took us to gift shop so we all get our shopping done very happily.

Hello Mam Yin, Thank you for entrusting your private tour with us! Until next time!

BEST TOUR AND GUIDE

Diego_G, Mar 2023
We’d give this tour 10 stars if it was possible. Our guide Fidel was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful and serviceable; not to mention his perfect english. We were in a tight schedule since PP was a cruise day-stop for us and Fidel did everything to accommodate our times, we beat the large cruise tours to the underground river, did not have to wait a second in line and got our private SUV transport and private boat transfer which was top notch. 100% recommend if you are looking for a personalized flexible experience. PS - Fidel even lent us money to buy some stuff since we had not exchanged PHP yet

Thank you so much sir Diego! it was lovely touring your around!

Beautiful hours on Palawan

Monika_K, Mar 2026
We had very nice hours on Palawan and saw a lot. We particularly liked the weaving and the women work who are separated from their husbands. They make a lot of beautiful products that you can finish yourself and live off.Our guide and driver were very friendly and accommodating. We had a delicious lunch at a very nice restaurant.
