Although the bus ride to Banaue is very long and arduous (it was not 9 but over 10 hours!), I would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in and enjoys nature, physical challenges, culture and adventure. Hiking between the rice terraces over narrow walls and stairs in the middle of the green rice fields is a very special experience, bathing in the Tappiya waterfall is a real treat and spending the night in Batad is an immersion in the world of the Ifugao. This tour was one of the absolute highlights of our trip, not least thanks to our very committed, attentive and competent guide, Jody. He answered our numerous questions happily and comprehensively and shared a lot of his knowledge with us. We also had a lot of fun together. We couldn't have wished for better company!
