Hello my name is Junalyn, you can simply call me Jo. I am a licensed and Philippine Department of Tourism accredited local tour guide from Puerto Princesa City, Palawan. I have been a licensed local tour guide since I finished my college degree in 2009. My more than a decade-long experience of handling and relating to travelers from different parts of the world enabled me to be well-versed in delivering customized and private tours in Puerto Princesa and other parts of Palawan. My province has been a famous tour destination worldwide for years due to its several international recognition. It has been named as the best island in the world by famous websites and magazines for many years. This is because Palawan features pristine beaches, unique islands, natural rock formations, rich marine life, vibrant lagoons and gorgeous landscapes, among others, as its major tourist attractions. These are complimented with the kindest and most hospitable people who are very disciplined too! I am blessed to call Puerto Princesa, Palawan my home while others dream of it as a vacation destination. Our City is hailed as the cleanest and greenest City in the country due to the combined efforts of the locals and the government to preserve and conserve the beauty of our place. It is also home to one the New 7 Natural Wonders of the World - the Puerto Princesa Underground River that is very famous for its longest navigable underground river with some of the most unique and iconic rock formations that is make it truly a wonder of nature. The northern part of Palawan is where you can find the world-famous El Nido which boasts several of the nicest beaches and clearest lagoons in the country, if not in the world. Having visited and experienced many tour spots in Puerto Princesa and province of Palawan, both off-beaten spots and regular tourist destinations, made me confident in designing and customizing tours according to guests' needs. Further, during off-season in the island, I usually spend my free time in joining trips conducted by my colleagues to further enhance my knowledge about other interesting places within the province I live in. A beach lover who likes to explore places and taste local delicacies produced by the different towns in our province, I do hope you will choose me to accommodate you in your upcoming visit in Puerto Princesa City and Palawan, the Philippines' Last Frontier Local Licensed Guide - City Tourism of Puerto Princesa Batch 2009 Accredited Local Guide by the Department of Tourism Region IV-B I am not a driver and all my tours are provided with a private rented AC vehicle and driver.
