Puerto Princea half day city tour

Ann_C, Mar 2026
Perfect experience with appropriate timing for stops we really enjoyed these experiences. Anna was superb in her communication and knowledge shared

Because we were the last...

J_H, Feb 2026
Because we were the last two to book the tour, and there weren't enough seats in the van, we were selected to travel in Nestor's (our drivers) personal car with Grace, our friendly, cheerful guide. The tour was excellent and made all the advertised stops. Our favorite being the Butterfly garden & Tribal Center, and the weaving demonstration and shop. We appreciated having some extra time at Bakers Hill to consume some local treats & enjoy the views. Grace was thoughtful, offering to take pictures of us at the various sites.

Excellent value Principesa Tour

Chaos outside terminal until guide was located. Van held 12 and half day tour was very thorough. Overall, a good value!

Not What I Paid For

Frances_S, Jan 2026
A disaster from the beginning unfortunately the tour guide never showed and we sat on the bus for half an hour while the driver tried to find him or her. Then we were told they were waiting for us at the first stop and they really weren’t so the bus driver became our tour guide thank heaven. Someone knew Filipino so she could communicate with him as his English was not great but he really tried very hard and was excellent in trying to give us the experience we had paid for we learned nothing about any of our stops because he would just leave us and then tell us what time to come back. The stops were average at best. I wrote to Viator and requested a 50% refund since we did at least see the places and was originally told I would be totally refunded and then was only given 15%. They need to do better. I have taken Viator tours before and was very pleased so I was surprised and disappointed.

Par excellence

Excellent tour with a fantastic guide. We saw lots of the sights and were throughly entertained during the journey. The pick up from the cruise terminal was excellent, and the minibus comfortable and well maintained. The tour was a great price and I would highly recommend this tour if you are on a cruise ship visiting the city.

Wonderful tour with Ernie

Mike_S, Feb 2025
This was a fantastic trip with Ernie. Informative, such a lovely guide, and the trip was full of humour and a few lovely surprises. One of the best tour guides I've ever had

We highly recommend this tour

Thomas_K, Mar 2023
Our guide, Super Mario, was very articulate, organized, humorous and knowledgeable. Sights were somewhat limited but, he made them interesting and fun. His knowledge of the history of his community made the tour a real learning experience.

You Get What You Pay For.

Eric_K, May 2022
The Crocodile Farm was interesting, as was the Senator's timber house on the hill. The rest of the quick drive around Puerto Princesa was stock 'tourist haunts' culminating in a visit to the mandatory souvenir shop. The company provides a van and a driver who has only limited English. He contributes nothing in the way of commentary. His job is purely to drive the van which was modern, air conditioned and comfortable. It quickly became obvious why this is the cheapest tour on offer through Viator. As they say in the classics.." You get what you pay for"

See a lot on a day with great guide.

Benno_M, Feb 2026
Anna our guide and Joel our driver offered me a great trip. I would have liked to spend a little more time with them. The individual hotspots like e.g. crocodile farm, butterfly park... were just great. In the end we did not go through the Bakerpark where beautiful pictures are to be taken. The tour absolutely recommendable and Anna explains everything in a good English which I understood as not a great English comprehension. Advantage is simply that you get to see a lot in 4-5 hours. Thanks for the great trip.
