Customer Testimonials

One of the best trips ever

My husband and I did an extended trip to the Philippines and Rachel was instrumental in making it all come together. We did numerous islands and her expertise was invaluable - from great resort/hotel recommendations, amazing tours, and understanding local culture. Due to the time difference she even had a local agent in the Philippines that kept in contact with us the whole time to make sure the trip went smoothly. I can not say enough good things about Rachel and the wonderful job she did. I highly recommend Rachel - she is the best!!!

Our Unforgettable Philippines Honeymoon

Planning our honeymoon with Rachel was the best decision we made! From the moment we landed in El Nido to our adventures in Bohol, every detail was perfectly orchestrated, creating a dreamy and unforgettable experience. El Nido's pristine beaches and secluded islands set the stage for a romantic getaway like no other. Our stay at Pangulasian Island Resort was nothing short of magical. We enjoyed private boat tours to hidden lagoons, snorkeling in vibrant coral reefs, and amazing sunset cruises. Moving on to Bohol, we were captivated by its natural beauty and rich culture. Exploring the iconic Chocolate Hills was a highlight. We also immersed ourselves in the local culture with visits to centuries-old churches, encounters with tarsiers, and a scenic Loboc River cruise. The tranquil ambiance of Amorita Resort provided the perfect setting for romantic evenings under the stars. We are incredibly grateful for the memories we created during our honeymoon, thanks to Rachel.
