FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Short answers about this guide site and the trips it covers.
Is mytourguide.ph a booking site?
No. This rebuild is an editorial travel guide. It keeps the original destination brand and the historical guide URLs, and it does not sell rooms, flights, ferry tickets, or tour seats.
Which trips are covered at launch?
Boracay, Baguio, Bohol, and a first set of outdoor guides including Pulag, Apo, Pinatubo, and Taal. Other provinces from the old site will return in later updates when those URLs are restored.
Why do some old links land on a different page?
Author archives, date archives, bank explainers, and WordPress system paths are redirected. Destination guides that still belong on the site keep their original paths.
Do I need a permit for Mount Pulag or other climbs?
Yes for many protected areas. Pulag requires registration through the local tourism or park process, and day-hike slots are limited. Treat every mountain guide here as planning context, then confirm the current permit office before you leave Manila.
Caticlan or Kalibo for Boracay?
Caticlan (Godofredo P. Ramos Airport) is the short hop to Cagban jetty. Kalibo is farther and usually means a land transfer of about two hours before the boat. Compare total door-to-beach time, not just the airfare.
When is Panagbenga in Baguio?
The flower festival is typically a February event in Baguio. Street parades, Session Road closures, and hotel demand shift each year, so check the city calendar before you lock a weekend.
Are environmental fees still collected in Boracay?
Boracay has used terminal and environmental fees for visitors. Amounts and who pays at the jetty can change, so budget a buffer and read the current Malay or DOT notice before you travel.
How should I see the Chocolate Hills without rushing the tarsiers?
Keep the tarsier sanctuary as a quiet, no-flash stop with a short trail, and give Chocolate Hills its own window in daylight. Combining both with Loboc on one frantic loop is how people end up seeing animals at the worst time of day.
