Nowhere does Christmas like the Philippines. Star lanterns strung across every street, dawn masses from the 16th of December, and a country that has been counting down since September. Pair the festivities in Manila and Cebu with El Nido's lagoons and Boracay's White Beach. Private tours, daily departures.

“Manila & Filipino Culture”

"Manila is a city of contrasts: history, colonial churches, bustling markets, and a vibrant nightlife. The traffic and noise are a shock at first, but you end up falling in love with its energy. What I loved most was the warmth of the people — everyone was so welcoming and quick to help. A great starting point for exploring the rest of the country."

“Boracay Island”

"Boracay is simply spectacular. White Beach has some of the softest, whitest sand I've ever set foot on. Total relaxation by day, and a great vibe at night with live music and beachfront restaurants. We ate fresh seafood at amazing prices. Perfect for couples or a group of friends. Highly recommended for anyone wanting something a little different!"

“Banaue Rice Terraces”

"A completely different and truly authentic experience. The Banaue Rice Terraces are breathtaking — a landscape that feels like another world. The journey there is long and the roads can be rough, which is why I'm knocking off a star, but it's 100% worth it. The local culture and food were the highlights. Perfect if you want to see the traditional side of the country."

“Grand Palawan Expedition — 10 Days”

I have traveled to over thirty countries, and I was not prepared for what Palawan did to me. The lagoons at El Nido are genuinely, physically impossible-looking — limestone walls rising straight out of water so clear you can see the fish swimming twenty feet below the kayak. Memphis Tours handled every boat, every transfer, every island hop without a single hiccup. Our guide, Renz, knew the hidden coves that...

“El Nido Beaches, Palawan”

"The Philippines completely blew me away. El Nido is pure paradise — crystal-clear waters, hidden lagoons, and an incredible sense of peace. We did the island-hopping tour, jumping from one bay to the next, and were absolutely speechless. The locals are so warm and friendly, they made us feel right at home. If you're after postcard-perfect beaches, this is the place. I'd go back in a heartbeat!&...

“Diving in Cebu & Swimming with Whale Sharks”

"I came looking for adventure and I found it. Swimming alongside the whale sharks in Oslob was an experience I'll never forget. We also went diving in Moalboal and witnessed the famous 'sardine run' — millions of sardines moving in perfect sync. Everything was really well organized and surprisingly affordable. The Philippines is an absolute dream for ocean lovers."
