5.00Jeff did a great job as our guide. The tour of Tacloban was very informative. He also gave us additional background on two areas of interest - the 2013 typhoon and WWII.
Wow! An amazing tour through history.

5.00Seeing the MacArthur Memorial at the landing site was the highlight of my trip. It was closed for repairs but my guide and company arranged for me to gain access to the construction site to see the memorial. I had chill bumps.

5.00Interesting tour: beautiful churches, historical place, quaint towns, picturesque scenery. Each place tells a story of a people we we havn't heard of before. The "Yolanda story" created an impact to me personally. I was moved when we visited the cathedral. And I was amazed to see the collection of Imelda Marcos at the Sto. Nino Shrine and Heritage Museum.
