I tried using Philippine Travel Assistant as per the recommendation from a friend of mine. They are very professional and do the job as well as any travel agency does, the difference is, their prices aren’t as expensive. Its worth a try!

It was my first time to visit the Philippines. I was able to get a tour of Manila wherein I was not only shown the historical sites of Manila, but I was able to experience what the Filipinos do for fun. I had a great time!

For once, I was given a flight (to Boracay) that was not delayed. I was able to spend more time enjoying the beach! My Philippine Travel Assistant Charlene was friendly, accommodating and prompt in her response. Keep up the good work. I will use PTA again in my next vacation.
