Doreen in Baguio was so knowledgeable about the culture and area. Andrew was such a helpful guide on the island hopping tours that we asked for him on our second day along with the same speedboat captain and crew. They know the best time to go to each island to limit crowds and had so much patience when we wanted to stay longer in some locations. Ed was the best driver to Baguio and ended up being our driver to the airport on our last day. We were so happy to see him again. Our last hotel in El Nido was the best. We would ask for a different hotel in Puerto Princessa if we return. Aziza was old and needs updating. But the staff were very pleasant. All of the logistics worked flawlessly.

Baguio Whole Day Tour with Lunch (Private Tour)
Baguio
Doreen fit a lot into one day. She even took us to a place tourist don't typically go. It was extra special.
Food
We were tired and ate at the hotel. Which was just ok. We probably would have had better if we felt up to going out.
