Frequently Asked Questions

After booking

1. What do I receive after I book?

Once your booking is confirmed, you’ll receive a voucher and booking number via email. If your package includes flights, you’ll also get a form to submit your passenger details. Hotel vouchers and tour information are sent closer to your travel date. As part of our commitment to excellent service, we also provide travel reminders.

2. When will I receive my flight e-tickets?

After submitting your flight information form, our team will verify your details and issue your e-ticket within 24–48 hours. To speed up processing and ensure accuracy, we recommend including a copy of your passport or a valid government-issued ID. As a trusted travel agency in the Philippines, we make sure every detail is checked before tickets are released to avoid costly fare adjustments.

3. Do I need to print my vouchers or tickets?

Printing isn’t required, but we recommend downloading and saving digital copies of your travel documents. For flights and hotel check-ins, printed copies may occasionally be requested, depending on the provider.

4. Can I modify my booking after payment?

Yes! At Guide to the Philippines, flexibility matters. Changes can be made depending on product availability and may involve additional fees. Reach out to our team as soon as possible so we can assist you with any adjustments.

5. Can I change my travel dates?

We understand that travel plans can shift. Here’s how changes work:

Flights: If tickets are already issued, rebooking fees and fare difference fees apply. Changes are subject to availability and must be requested at least 7 days before departure.

Hotels: No additional fees if changes are made at least 14 days before check-in, subject to availability.

Day Tours and Transfers: Free to reschedule if requested at least 48 to 72 hours in advance and subject to availability.

6. Can I add tours or transfers to my booking? 

Absolutely! You can easily add more tours in the Philippines or transfer services to your itinerary through our website or by contacting our team for assistance.

7. Can I add travelers to my booking?

Yes, you can. Additional guests may be added depending on product availability and terms. This may involve a rate adjustment, and our team will assist you with the update.

9. I can’t edit my booking using the link in the email. What do I do?

To avoid uncoordinated last-minute changes, we’ve temporarily disabled this feature. Please message our team directly, and we’ll handle the changes for you with proper coordination.

10. Can a booking be canceled by your team?

In rare cases—such as very last-minute bookings that cannot be endorsed in time—we may need to cancel. You will always be notified beforehand, and refunds will be processed accordingly. To avoid this, we recommend booking at least 3 days ahead for tours or transfers, and 1–2 weeks in advance for packages with flights and hotels.
