The tour was well... - The tour was well planned. Every stop was pretty and very cleaned. My favorite stop was the main cathedral. Our tour coordinator was Maryam and she was very professional and gave us history information of the city and the province. 🙏🇵🇭

Great tour for seeing Puerto Princesa - Great experience. Got to see 8 different parts of the city. Private tour with both a driver and a tour guide. Angelo was a fantastic driver and Trisha was an amazing tour guide. They were both friendly and knowledgeable.

Best Tour Guide on the Island! - This review is not necessarily about our experience but more about the company itself. We spent a week with literally the best tour guide in Palawan. We booked 3 back-to-back tours with them, and we enjoyed ourselves so much!! Jeff Bulan was our tour guide, and I suggest you request him because he truly made the trip for us. By the end of it, we were family!
Anyone can tour you around the island; it really takes someone special to make you see the island they love through their eyes. It was obvious that he loved everything about his job. If we are ever back in Puerto Princesa, we will definitely booking through Corazon and requesting Jeff again!

A Princessa of a Day! - Puerto Princessa is a small city in a southern island in the Philippines. We were met by our guide, Diane, who showed us the main highlights of Puerto Princessa. I saw that there was a butterfly center that was not included on the tour & asked for it to be included. Diane called the office & for a nominal fee this was added! We like nature more than big city scenes! I have a wonderful picture of a butterfly landing on my finger that my husband took! Diane was a gem. She knew her history & all that was to know about Puerto Princessa. We really liked our day, took many photos, & have great memories!

Puerto Princesa City Tour - A couple of hours drifting around Puerto Princesa with Eddie was enjoyable.
Visited places that you would not normally see on your own, and do things like puppetry which was quite bizarre, but good fun.
Eddie is a lovely , knowledgeable and friendly chap. Be aware you’ll be taken to the tourist shops on route- but they have to make their money somehow here !
Overall a pleasant day out ! Cheers

Good but not great - When my friends and I booked this tour, made it with same reservation number and they separated us. They had a van and we had a different tour guide and car.

Not a city tour - We were picked up around 8am from our hotel, we made our way out to the ranch which hadn’t opened!! We then continued to Baker Hill which again apart from the shop everything else was closed. Crocodile Santuary was a good experience, we then visited pearl shop, craft weaving shop and a gift shop one after the other. Fleetingly drove through the port area then on the church where we were ushered in only to find a funeral service taking place!!! Perhaps the tour should be renamed.

There doesn't seem to be anything special to see in Puerto Princesa. - we booked this as a private tour. the driver was good and the guide super nice. but the experience of the city was nothing to brag about. there was little to see here! other than the crocodile farm. drove past some people weaving, a playground for children with a bakery and peacocks, a hill with a property owned by someone in the government, the church (it was nice). was down by the sea, an area where you could only see a long road along the water. didn't see anything to the "Puerto Princessa" signs and palm trees that looked so idyllic in the ad.

What a dissapointment - Pick-up time was 1 PM in cruise port. 30 minites before that i got email with new pick-up time 2 PM. We are waiting there till 2.22 PM and no pick-up. So tuk-tuk to office and after hassling we got a van later.
Honda Bay views was skipped because some has mobility problems. Why rest of the group couldn't visit viewpoint? In souvenir shops we had lot's of time.
There was no timelimits in few (souvenir) stops.
This is a typical itinerary for this product:
1. Immaculate Conception Cathedral - DONE
2. Baker's Hill - NOT DONE
3. Plaza Cuartel - DONE outside, it's closed
4. Binuatan Creations - DONE
5. Palawan Wildlife Rescue and Conservation Center - NOT DONE, what a dissapointment
6. Mitra's Ranch - only van-ride through, what a dissapointment
7. Puerto Princesa City Baywalk Park - DONE
8. Outdoor Amphitheater - NOT DONE, what a dissapointment
