10 Days East Philippines
I recently joined the 10 Days East Philippines Tour and overall had a really great experience. The itinerary offers an amazing variety of beautiful locations, and many of the included activities were genuinely impressive and already covered in the price.
A special highlight of the trip was definitely our guide, Bono. He put an incredible amount of effort into making this trip unforgettable for everyone. His energy, and genuine care for the group really made a difference and elevated the entire experience.
That said, there are a few areas where the tour could be improved. During snorkeling activities, the guides occasionally lost track of participants, and it was noticeable that some people were struggling without receiving enough attention.
Additionally, some of the optional activities felt a bit forced sometimes. In some cases, there was no real option to return to the accommodation, meaning you had to stay at the activity location and wait for others, even if you preferred to skip it.
While the destinations themselves were stunning, the tour felt quite rushed overall. Many stops were very short, and there were a lot of travel days, leaving effectively around 7 days to fully enjoy the places. A bit more time at each location would have made the experience more relaxing.
The accommodation was generally fine, but the dorms in some hostels (especially Boracay) were quite small.
Over all the tour offers incredible destinations, great included activities, and an outstanding guide in Bono.

Just finished the East Philippines tour…
Just finished the East Philippines tour with Bono as our tour guide. Bono was great, the whole group was fun to be around and we had a wonderful experience. Bono had great local knowledge and found us some amazing hidden gems like favorite water holes, water falls and local restaurants. He was always there for you whenever/whatever you needed and was very attuned to each guests needs. It’s clear that he really cares both about the Philippine culture and making the tour special for everyone. 5 Stars!

10 Day East Philippines
Had a great 10 day tour with our guide Bono!

New friendships and memories to last a life time
I would definitely recommend this trip, Daan was informative and able to answer all questions we had as a group regarding all things Japan!
Some of the best parts of the trip where the additions that Daan suggested and took us on. The karaoke night in Kyoto was a firm favourite and gave us all a chance to have fun together. This trip was made even better because of the people that were on it! Friends who will keep in contact and enjoy hearing about their future travel trips. Daan was an excellent tour guide and would definitely recommend booking a tour with him!

Amazing Tour & Tourguide!
Daan the tourguide knows exactly what he’s doing and makes the whole experience amazing. I felt carefree and I’ve learned a lot in a short period about Japan. He made sure the group connected well by taking us out for karaoke and he was always around when needed.

Hi Denise,
Thank you so much for this amazing review. it is beyond of our expectation.
We love hearing that you felt carefree throughout the trip while still learning so much about Japan in such a short time. That balance is exactly what we aim for. It’s especially great to hear how Daan helped bring the group together, and that karaoke night sounds like such a fun highlight! Those shared moments are often what turn a great trip into something truly memorable. Daan will be really happy to know he made you feel supported and looked after every step of the way.
We’d absolutely love to have you join us again for another unforgettable adventure!
Memories to be Cherished
The tour was a wonderful adventure! Daan consistently made sure that we had clear instructions and information to prepare for the following day. He was incredibly knowledgable - both culturally and historically - when guiding us around each city and tourist attraction. The whole tour was efficient due to Daan’s organisation and punctuality: we always arrived to our destinations on time, were given time to explore as a group, and optional free time. Daan gave excellent recommendations and even tailored these to suit our preferences; he provided locations for every suggestion and remained available if we had any questions. Daan also provided the group with fun evening events - we had a games night in Hakone, and two karaoke nights (Kyoto and Osaka). Booking this tour was the best way to explore Japan. I’m very grateful for a wonderful experience with a lovely group!

The best social and cultural experience
Our tour guide Daan was the coolest. The tour itself was greatly organised! Never had to wait long for a train because of Daan’s fab timing skills!!! Met the loveliest people and had so much fun at the karaoke bar and chilling on the rooftop terrace in our hostel in hakone :)

We hope to see you again soon! 😊
Above and beyond experience
This trip was even better than I imagined, thanks to an amazing tour group and a fantastic guide named Daan. There were lots of adventures that can’t be explained with just a simple review, but I loved the knowledge that our tour guide had about the history and also the dos and donts of each area. My favorite memory was a crowded sit down eating alley around Shinjuku. It was fond moment with the group while experiencing an authentic Japanese cultural moment.

Wonderful way to see and experience…
Wonderful way to see and experience Japan. Our guide, George, was wonderful - helping us navigate on our own and recommending great food spots and activities to do during our freetime. Is a good singer too.

10-day group tour in Japan
Had a great 10-day group tour in Japan with George! We saw a lot in a short time and everything was well organized. George was super helpful, answered all our questions, and gave great personal tips for our free time.
He also made sure no one got lost, which I really appreciated 😄
Only downside was that the schedule felt a bit rushed at times, so we didn’t always have as much time at each place as I would’ve liked.
Overall, a really nice trip – would definitely recommend!

Inside Japan 14 days
Great tour for people experiencing Japan for the first time.
Especially if your looking to see a bit more then Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.
Highlights were the quieter areas of Takayama, Hakone and Koyasan.
100% worth doing the 14 days
Learning and experiencing the cultural activities were amazing, Kendo, Tea Ceremony, Sushi class and so many more.
Our tour guide George did great organising and overseeing 15 plus people from all over the world, was very knowledgeable about all things Japan and very stern on holding to the traditional customs which was great to see.
To top of off he is also just a very genuine guy and not half bad at Kareoke either, I was very glad he was our guide.
It was a great way to start what will be a month of travels in Japan.
Now feel more than ready for 2 weeks by myself to explore more.

Hi Luke,
Thank you so much for such a detailed and thoughtful review — we really appreciate you taking the time to share this!
It’s amazing to hear how much you enjoyed exploring beyond the classic spots like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, and that places like Takayama, Hakone, and Koyasan stood out as highlights. It sounds like you really made the most of the cultural experiences too — from Kendo to the tea ceremony and sushi class, those moments truly bring Japan to life. George will be so happy to hear your kind words, especially how his organisation, knowledge, and respect for local customs helped shape your experience (and we’ll definitely pass on the karaoke compliment too! 😄). It’s also great to know the trip set you up perfectly for the rest of your solo travels.
We’d be delighted to host you on another trip in the future.
Japan with George was legendary
The 14 day Japan tour with George was a delight! It’s a city based tour so expect to use a lot of public transport and see the best the main cities of Japan has to offer. The real highlights of the tour are the cultural experiences as well!

George manning from Onelife adventures is a lovely tourguide with a great sense of humour. It was my first time solo travelling and joining a tour, so I didnt really know what to expect. I had a great time and George played a big role in that aswell. A tourguide can be a make or break and we got lucky in my opinion. Definitly deserves the 5 stars.
