Philippines Tours & Holiday

Philippines tours reach well beyond the postcard beaches, threading the Cordillera’s rice-terraced highlands and the limestone seascapes of Palawan into one slow journey. Few archipelagos surprise you so often.

Philippines at a Glance

More than 7,000 islands spread across the western Pacific make the Philippines one of Southeast Asia’s most diverse destinations, shaped by Malay, Spanish, American and Chinese influences. Manila serves as the busy gateway, but beyond the capital the country opens into rice terraces, colonial towns, jungle-covered coasts and some of the region’s clearest waters.

This contrast defines Philippines holidays and is best experienced through Philippines small group tours, which allow a more immersive way to explore the archipelago. From the UNESCO-listed rice terraces of Banaue to the Spanish-era streets of Vigan, and on to the lagoons and beaches of Palawan, each journey reveals a different side of the country. Whether focused on culture, nature or island escapes, these carefully designed trips offer a well-balanced way to experience the Philippines.

Small Group Tour Overview

1. Philippines – Emerald Terraces of the Cordillera

15 days, from £4495 per person

This fifteen-day journey threads the country’s two great moods into a single route, opening with a Manila guided tour of Intramuros and the baroque San Agustin church before climbing north into the Cordillera. You’ll stand above the UNESCO-listed rice terraces of Banaue and Batad, visit Sagada’s ancient burial caves and view the hanging coffins from Echo Valley, and ride a kalesa through the Spanish-colonial streets of Vigan. The route then flies south to Palawan, where a boat trip into the Puerto Princesa Underground River is followed by a full island-hopping day around El Nido’s lagoons, hidden beaches and limestone karsts. May departures catch the islands at their bluest. View View full itinerary →

A wonderful opportunity to explore and experience a string of Caribbean islands. Although the pace of the trip was fast, we still managed to see behind the glitz and glamour of the holiday industry and get to grips with local history and culture.

Wonderful holiday in a little known, safe and very friendly West African destination with hardly any tourists around you. Learn the horrors of the slave trade, get lost in the tropical rain forest, be amazed by curious primates, marvel at pristine beaches bathed by a warm Atlantic Ocean. Ideal for seasoned African travelers.
