I just completed this trip last weekend and it was great-- If you like to hike and want to see the rice terraces this a perfect way to do it. I was traveling alone so I was a bit nervous but the trip was perfectly safe/fun I had Jody as my tour guide --- he was excellent, pprofessional/helpfulnd very knowledgeable, and great to hang out with during the hike. If you are worried about the hiking - you can go at your own pace and your guide will help you if you are having any difficulty. Actually, I've stayed in Manila for a month and rent a condo here. https://www.fazwaz.ph/property-for-rent/philippines/metro-manila?type=condo,apartment,penthouse&bedrooms=1+ The experience was enormous and I'll travel again to that region.
