Very patient and knowledgeable

Very patient and knowledgeable. It was my second time using her as my travel agent and I can say, I will not be using anyone else anymore. She was there for me, when I had questions during my travel time. This was my first independent travel and she made it easy for me. Thank you so much

BEACH & ISLAND ADVENTURE TOURS

Sample multi-day tours.

Boracay Escapade

Duration: 3 Nights / 4 Days

Boracay is a tropical island surrounded by stunning white sand beaches and clear blue waters located about an hour's flight from Cebu or Manila just off the larger Philippines island of Panay.

For beach connoisseurs, Boracay competes with the best beaches in more popular destinations such as the Caribbean and the South Pacific as well as neighboring Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia. Tourists will appreciate water sports and activities such as sailing, windsurfing, snorkeling, diving and jet skiing. The fun in Boracay doesn't end when the sun sets. The nightlife pulsates with many bars and restaurants serving food, drink and fun until the wee hours of dawn.

Banaue Heritage Tour with Puerto Princesa &  El Nido

Duration: 12 Nights / 13 Days

Banaue is a town on the Cordillera mountain range in the north of the island of Luzon, in the Philippines. It is mainly visited for its stunning rice terraces, which are a UNESCO World Heritage site.

El Nido Miniloc or Lagen Experience

El Nido is a coastal settlement and major tourist destination on the Philippines island of Palawan.El Nido is a popular destination for locals during the long holidays of Holy Week but, until recently, has been relatively unknown to foreign tourists. Beaches, clear waters (away from the main town), jungle, steep limestone cliffs and stunning inlets make for beautiful seascapes.

Manila with Puerto Princesa, El Nido and Boracay

Duration: 10 Nights / 11 Days

Breathtaking views of nature are the main reason to visit El Nido. The pristine waters of El Nido offer beautiful coral reefs, while its beaches are uncrowded unlike the popular Boracay, exploring the lagoons by kayaking is a great way of visiting the islets, coves and caves are also abundant. Inland El Nido, springs and waterfalls are also found. Bacuit Bay composes of limestone islands, where its possible to either dive, snorkel or hike.

Manila with Bohol, Cebu and Boracay

Duration: 8 Nights / 9 Days

Boracay was awarded as the 2012 Best Island in the World by the international travel magazine Travel + Leisure. In 2014, the resort island was at the top of the "Best Islands in the World" list published by the international magazine Condé Nast Traveler. In 2016, Boracay headed the magazine's list of "Top 10 destinations to watch".

Although the group dwindled to 17 by Saturday, the friends that attended had a wonderful time.  Each of the wineries worked out great.  The day went by extremely quick as we all were enjoying ourselves immensely. I would say that the Zephaniah Winery was the highlight of the trip. They have a fairly new barn with a tasting room that features their seated tasting. The 1800's main house has only been in two families and is a very intriguing historic building.  There wines are also very good and well worth the visit.  Thank you again for a wonderful trip and I am sure we will use your services in the future if the need arises.

I would like to inform you of the excellent and exceptional service by your driver, Yarad Menguistu, during a three-day tour, June 4-7, in Washington, DC. Not only was he well informed about the city, always able to determine the best routes to get the school group to their appointments on time, and was always at the appointed time to pick up the group early, before we were even there, he went "beyond the call of duty," to help with problems, whenever he could. He went out of his way to work closely with me and the group leader to help the tour go smoothly, overall. We were all very pleased to have Yared with us for our tour, and I would hope that I have the opportunity to work with him again.

The charter bus provided by Baron Tours for our choir tour to DC well-accommodated the needs of our group. The bus driver arrived on time at 7:00 am and helped get our luggage stowed quickly, which allowed for a swift departure for our early morning singing engagement at Christ Church in Alexandria. Our driver was first in the queue as we exited Mt. Vernon later that day and delivered our group to the airport on schedule. The bus was clean and comfortable. The bus rate was reasonable, priced in the middle of quotes from other bus companies. Only complaint: The luggage bin closest to the sidewalk was filled with tables, so our luggage had to be loaded from the street, which was challenging in traffic at the airport. Here again, the bus driver was very helpful.

Group Administrator

Claudine was great! She gave our school a big discount because we came from a low-income, rural area and were fundraising our own $$. The driver was very friendly & great with the kids, and was more than willing to work with us when we made changes to our itinerary.

Sarah Gruen

From start to finish, Laya and this company did everything right. I needed a 56 passenger bus, but they only had a 47 passenger bus available. So they proposed that sized bus along with a smaller van, for a reasonable rate. The drivers came on time, and communicated well throughout the night via text, which was essential in the loud environments I was in. Laya also followed up to ensure that everything went well. Will definitely use again! Thank you!

My husband and I just got back from our honeymoon and we wanted to say THANK YOU so much for arranging our bus tour of the monuments. The driver and tour guide were incredible and our wedding guests could not stop talking about how awesome the tour was! It was such a pleasure working with you and I will be sure to recommend your company to my friends/colleagues. Thanks again!

I contracted with Baron Tours for an all day charter trip.  It was the first time I had used a charter service, and Baron took the extra time to answer my questions in the weeks leading up to the trip.  They were accommodating every step of the way.  When a late issue arose, Baron worked through it to make sure our trip went off without a hitch.  I was extremely pleased with the service from start to finish, and we could not have been happier with the event as a whole.  A big Thank You to Baron Tours!

Still have questions?

These Notorious So-called 'Tourist Traps' Are Worth Visiting, According to Travelers

Travelers are speaking out to say these spots aren't half bad.

Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50. She now splits her time between Colorado and Paris, ensuring she doesn't have to live without skiing or L'As du Fallafel.

Ah, the traveler’s debacle: To follow the crowd to major, must-see sights knowing they’ll be met with overpriced services, entertainment, food, and souvenirs — or to avoid these sites completely and search out hidden gems void of other tourists. To some, visiting Paris without going up the Eiffel Tower isn’t seeing Paris , while to others, the complete opposite is true. 

It’s a question — or way of traveling — that isn’t always black-and-white. Most of us want to see the major sites — preferably without giant tour groups and overpriced crêpe stands — and stumble upon authentic places that few others will get to experience. So when is it worth following the crowd to a site you really want to see, even though it’s probably a tourist trap?

One user on Reddit , u/MarathonMarathon, posed that question , noting that for them, the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel in Shanghai was a tourist trap they ended up genuinely liking. “It's basically this short 5-minute tourist trap light show tram thing that takes you across the Huangpu River from the Bund to Pudong, with bizarre voice-overs. Sort of like some Disney attraction, but sadder, the very epitome of a kitsch tourist trap.”

The Reddit community responded, sharing the tourist-trap-inclined sites and tours that they genuinely liked and would recommend to others. Below are the “best” responses in order:

Maid of the Mist Boat Tour — Niagara Falls, U.S.

The 20-minute Maid of the Mist boat tour, which claims to be “the original Niagara Falls boat tour” — takes travelers to the foot of Niagara Falls where they can feel the power of 600,000 gallons of water crashing down and enjoy the resulting mist.

“You wait in line forever, the boat is packed, it seems cheesy ... and then you get up to the Falls and feel their power, you realize that the boat has the engine running at full power yet it struggles against the current and you realize that yeah, this is awesome,” said u/twoeightnine.

Original Sound of Music bus tour — Salzburg, Germany

The Original Sound of Music bus tour takes travelers through Salzburg, where "The Sound of Music" movie was filmed. The bus visits Mirabell Garden and Pegasus Fountain, where Maria and the children danced in the movie; Schloss Leopoldskron, the house, where the Trapp Family lived; and Church Mondsee, where Maria and Baron von Trapp got married, along with other sites.

User u/opuntialantana said the four-hour journey included, “Glorious views, drinks, snacks, and a Maria von Trapp lookalike leading us in singalongs as we drove from one filming location to the next. It was cheesy and it was perfect.”

Hobbiton Movie Set Tours — Matamata, New Zealand

At Hobbiton , visitors can walk through the lush pastures of the Shire and through the movie set used in "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" film trilogies. The part-bus, part-walking tour includes visits to the series’ most famous locations, including the Hobbit Hole where Bilbo and Frodo Baggins lived. 

The 2.5-hour tour ends with a visit to the Green Dragon Inn , where a free drink concludes the tour of Middle-earth.

Guinness Storehouse — Dublin

The home of Ireland’s most iconic beer offers daily self-guided tours that include entry to the Guinness tasting rooms and a pint of Guinness. If you’re a true beer or Guinness connoisseur, you can opt for a “ premium experience ,” like a guided tasting with storytelling or a tour through the brewery’s historic sites — including their famous underground tunnels.

“When anyone came to visit [sic] me I always took them there; it never got old! It’s a well-curated museum and of course, the tap room is always fun to go to. Also, all my Irish friends were happy to go with me when I first moved there so it seems to be well-liked among people that live there too,” said u/tcpower2.

Hofbräuhaus München — Munich

Reddit user u/Triple10X said they initially went to Hofbräuhaus München “just to say that we've been there.” But after visiting several smaller German beer halls they felt that Hofbräuhaus was the best. 

The three-floor beer hall has a Bavarian restaurant and ongoing shows that take place in a historic, 16th-century building. According to u/Triple10X, “The food we got was phenomenal, the beer was obviously good and the atmosphere was eclectic with multiple couples around us all talking to each other in different languages.”
