PALAWAN is my province recognized as the World's Best Island by various travel magazines and websites, it is home to two UNESCO world heritage sites, and one of the 7 wonders of nature which makes it a very popular tour destination in the Philippines. White sand beaches, natural unique islands, turquoise lagoons, unspoiled landscape and warm people are some of the things that make my province truly a paradise for adventure-seekers, honeymooners, leisure-travelers and other type of vacationers.

Overview of your Puerto Princesa tour
Puerto Princesa is the coastal city, the only city and the capital of my beloved Province Palawan. My City is most famous for the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park or what we locals call the Underground River which is part of the seven wonders of nature. It also serves as the gateway to famous paradise-like destinations in Palawan like El Nido, San Vicente, Port Barton and Coron as the International Airport is located here. However, there is more to Puerto Princesa than being just a jump-off site to other destinations. The city is hailed as the cleanest and greenest city in the Philippines for several years. It houses some historical and cultural sights that will enable travelers to learn a slice of influences we have assimilated during the Spanish, Japanese and American occupations. The warm and hospitable people is something I am also proud of. Though our city is not as modern as other mega cities, I am sure you will take home with worthy memories and great photos of my city!

This tour was a wonderful introduction to the city. Fidel was an excellent guide, extremely knowledgeable and making the information come alive. We were easily able to customize the tour to accommodate wheelchair access and our specific interests. We highly recommend this tour in general, and Fidel specifically, for a great introduction to Puerto Princesa.

Fidel is an excellent guide and took good care of us. He had a driver so was able to devote his full time to us. The van was very comfortable and had lots of leg room for 6 people. Thank you for a lovely day Fidel!
Roger B.United States
Fidel did a great job of showing us around Puerto Princessa. He has a friendly, easy-going manner that makes him a pleasure to be with. He organized the tour well, so that we were able to see a wide variety of sights in five hours. We have taken many trips over the years and definitely would rank Fidel as one of the best guides that we have ever had. If we ever were to return to this part of the world, we would be very pleased to have him as a guide again.

Fidel and his driver where wonderful! They showed us interesting places in Puerto Princessa. A great knowledge of the history as well as of the today's situation. Extremely helpful (husband in wheelchair), very friendly! If you go to Puerto Princessa - I advise you to book Fidel and his driver!
Clark K.United States
Enthusiastic Fidel spoke clearly and spontaneously about the island. A visit to a native village where musical,hunting and handicrafts of these mountain people is not to be missed. Butterfly garden, weaving table runners, a bakery, a family inspired WW 2 museum,an enlightening Heritage center, Phillipino blended coffee and a snack at Jollibee all were enjoyable. Portable transport wheelchair easily taken and wheeled by Fidel or his driver Eugene.Flexible itinerary and last minute requests graciously done
