Planning Your Trip

What destinations in the Philippines do you cover?

We cover all major destinations across the Philippines including Luzon (Manila, Baguio, Bataan), Visayas (Boracay, Bohol, Cebu), and Mindanao (Davao, Siargao, Camiguin). Our database includes popular tourist spots as well as hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path locations.

Budget & Costs

How accurate are the budget estimates?

Our budget estimates are based on current market prices and are updated regularly. We provide ranges for different travel styles (budget, mid-range, luxury) and include accommodation, food, activities, and transportation costs. Actual costs may vary based on season and personal choices.

What currency are prices shown in?

All prices are displayed in Philippine Peso (PHP) as it's the local currency. We also provide USD equivalents for international travelers. Our budget calculator can help you understand costs in your home currency.

Are there additional costs not included in estimates?

Our estimates cover main travel expenses but may not include personal shopping, optional insurance, visa fees (for international travelers), or unexpected expenses. We always recommend budgeting an extra 10-20% for miscellaneous costs.

Can you help find budget-friendly options?

Definitely! Our AI can create budget-conscious itineraries with affordable accommodations, free activities, local transportation tips, and street food recommendations. Just specify your budget constraints when planning.
Travel Logistics

Do you help with flight bookings?

We provide flight recommendations and suggestions for the best routes and times, but we don't directly book flights. We'll guide you to trusted booking platforms and help you understand the best airports for your itinerary.

What about accommodation recommendations?

We recommend accommodations across all budget ranges and provide links to booking platforms. Our suggestions include hotels, resorts, hostels, and unique local stays like homestays and eco-lodges, complete with reviews and location advantages.

How do you handle transportation between destinations?

We provide detailed transportation guides including flights, ferries, buses, and private transfers. Our recommendations include estimated travel times, costs, booking information, and tips for the most comfortable and efficient routes.
