We arranged a custom tour for 13 days in the Philippines covering Vigan, Sagrada, Banaue, Batad, Bohol, Cebu, Puerto Princesa & El Nido. JP's attention to detail and organisational skills ensured that we had full confidence while planning the trip and a really enjoyable time during the trip. Drivers greeted us at every airport and ferry, the itinerary worked like clockwork. Great hotels, some excellent drivers and wonderful experiences visiting all of the sites and sights along the way.

My family and I had a truly unforgettable and unique adventure in Sagada, Banaue and Batad. This is not our usual type of trip, so we’re grateful we booked through Vagabond Pinas and had Brayan as our guide the whole time. He helped and guided us all the way.. down to even the littlest things! He, along with our driver and all other local guides, were very accommodating and knowledgeable. It was amazing to see all the sights of Sagada and Ifugao. I would recommend Vagabond Pinas and this itinerary to all my friends! I can’t wait to book another adventure with them.

We had a 5-day private family tour visiting Sagada/Banaue/Batad and it was a memorable experience. It was great to see and hike the magnificent rice terraces. Brayan was an excellent tour guide - very knowledgeable about the areas and their history. He was especially considerate and went out of his way to help those in our group who found some of the hikes challenging. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to experience another aspect of the Philippines. The hikes were immersive and the views of the rice terraces (esp in Batad) were simply breathtaking. Thanks to Brayan for guiding us on this amazing tour.

We had a great trip with our tour guide Brayan. It was good to see another side of the Philippines rather than our usual mix of city and beach. The area around Sagada and especially the Banaue/Batad was really beautiful and we loved the hikes we did. Brayan was extremely nice, knowledgeable and always helpful to those in our group who needed a bit of help during the hikes. Great experience- recommended for anyone that enjoys nature, nice landscapes and doesn’t mind a bit of physical activity!

We had a superb trip to the UNESCO Batad rice terraces in the Philippines. Our host Jonathan was truly exceptional and the comfortable transfer from Manila made the expedition so easy

We had a wonderful time travelling in the Philippines (in Sagada, Batad and Banque) - everything was greatly organized and the communication smooth. Special thanks to Edmon our driver for his kindness and his great advices/info during the trip ! Definitely recommend.

The trip really gave us a very indepth exposure of the mountain province, which go beyond normal sightseeing. It also allow us to have a better understanding of the people and culture. The view of the rice fields are just gorgerous. The hiking/ caving part could be phsyically challenging to us but the guides have been very caring and supportive to tailor the experience to our levels. We are grateful that we have made it!!

We wanted to see and experience Sagada but I know that it will be hard to do a DIY trip so, thru a referral, I decided to inquire to Vagabond Pinas for a tour package and Sir JP kindly prepared a tour wherein a family of four with 2 young kids will be able to enjoy at a very reasonable price. Vagabond Pinas' driver Kuya Bong and guide Sir Brayan fetched us from our house earlier than our schedule so we were able to arrive earlier than expected to our inn and was able to rest before we had our hiking activity. Sir brayan, our guide, was very helpful, and was always ready to lend a hand and encouraging words as we hiked the mountainous path up to see the Hanging coffins and see the beauty of the Sagada rice terraces and the Bomod-ok Falls. Thanks to Vagabond Pinas, our Sagada experience was truly an enjoyable, hassle free and truly a memorable experience for us.

Myself and husband loved our 5 day trip. JP and his team looked after us very well and the communication pre-trip was very clear. Edmon was our main tour guide and he was excellent throughout! He was very informative and good fun to be with. The itinerary is well planned and we were kept busy without feeling overly exerted. Edmon also adapted our trip to meet our needs including caving in Sagada-which we loved! Jonathan was our tour guide in Batad-he was also fabulous! He is very knowledgeable and was very patient with us whilst trekking and visiting the waterfall. All of the people we met during our trip were welcoming and I will remember this adventure fondly as it was filled with so much happiness and laughter. Thankyou so much for an amazing adventure

We did our two day trek up Mt. Pulag with JP. As I look back on my overall trip in the Philippines, the trek was easily the most memorable and perhaps life changing. The trip was filled with wonder, hardships, laughter, and gratitude. Seeing the stars late at night, and then witnessing the sunrise on the top of the mountain are moments I'll cherish for life. My partner told me that I would enjoy JP as a person and she was right. His passion to understand and share his culture with people shows. He is accomodating, communicative, and knows how to have fun. He isn't just a tour guide to us, he is a friend and role model too. Till next time.

Overall good experience but better go for 2 days tour because 5 days seems a bit tiring and you won't be able to enjoy muc.

The itinerary: Caving, hiking, culture, and all while surrounded by stunning views, this was really an amazing experience, and something we certainly couldn't have found anywhere else. All our activities and their order was really well thought out, we never felt rushed or like too much or too little was packed into each day. The rice terraces look gorgeous in pictures, but it's really something else to see them in person. Our guide: Bryan was thoughtful, knowledgeable, and patient - he always made sure things went smoothly and was such a nice person to have with us. Where we stayed: each of the places we stayed had good food, were very clean, and were in beautiful locations. Some were more simple and stripped back, but imo it's worth sacrificing some creature comforts for the experience! Thank you Vagabondpinas for a trip my boyfriend and I will always remember.

Another unforgettable adventure for a lifetime. This is my first venture to Mt. Pulag and my second trek with Vagabond Pinas. Jp is always so accommodating and helpful, works without hesitation around my skill level and makes sure we are fully prepared. He truly shapes the experience to you while also creating a journey worthwhile. Mt. Pulag was certainly the toughest hike I have had so far, but Vagabond was a major part in helping me conquer it and witness the breathtaking sea of clouds. I encourage all who visit the Philippines to take at least one trek with Vagabond. Thank you for guiding me again to discovering the many parts of home, of Pilipinas! Till the next journey 🤘 #dahandahan

I'm a french tourist and joined Vagabondpinas by recommendations of pinoy friends. Trips with them are more than that, it's a new family and friends, a perfect organisation for beautiful memories ! See you soon for new adventures !!

Have been joining Vagabond Pinas adventures for years already. They provide excellent service. Yung sasama ka nalang talaga. Sila na bahala sa lahat. Sa good time, sa masarap na pagkain, sa kwento, sa good vibes. Parang pamilya ko na sila.
