“Our flight got cancelled the night before and they had the whole itinerary rebuilt by breakfast. We didn't lose a single day.”
Andrea Lim
El Nido · Mar 2026★★★★★
“I've booked corporate offsites for nine years. This is the first agency that didn't need chasing.”
Marco Reyes
Corporate retreat · Feb 2026★★★★★
“The dive guide knew exactly which wreck to save for the last day. That's not something you get from a booking site.”
Jenna Tolentino
Coron · Jan 2026★★★★★
“They talked us out of the more expensive package. Told us we wouldn't use half of it. They were right.”
Paolo Santos
Bohol · Feb 2026★★★★★
“Three generations, ages 4 to 78, one itinerary, nobody complained. I still don't know how they managed it.”
Grace Villanueva
Family trip · Dec 2025★★★★★
“Our planner answered her phone at 11pm on a Sunday when the ferry was cancelled. That's the whole review.”
Ryan Ocampo
Siargao · Nov 2025★★★★★
“I've used the big booking sites for years. The difference is that when something breaks, there's a person.”
Camille Dizon
Boracay · Oct 2025★★★★★
“Booked the Batanes trip on a whim. They warned us about the weather, planned around it, and it still ran perfectly.”
Miguel Aquino
Batanes · Sep 2025★★★★★
“Fourth trip with them. At this point I just send dates and a budget and let them handle the rest.”

Our story
Two decades of getting it right
MQ Travel & Tours started as a two-person desk booking inter-island ferries for Manila families. Today we're the agency other agencies call when an itinerary gets complicated.
We're not the cheapest listing you'll find, and we're fine with that. Every package is planned by someone who has personally stood on that beach, dived that reef, or sat in that transfer van — so when something needs adjusting, we already know how.

A dedicated page for browsing where we take people — the kind of page a single-page site simply doesn't have room for.
Paperwork, handled
Visa & travel document assistance
The least fun part of any trip. Our team preps the file, checks it against the specific consulate's format, and submits it with you — so nothing holds up your departure date.

Before you book
Questions we get every week
A custom page can be anything you need — an FAQ, a services breakdown, a rates sheet. This is one example of the slot.
For peak season — December through May, plus Holy Week — six to eight weeks is comfortable. Off-peak, two weeks is usually enough. If you're diving Coron or flying to Batanes, book earlier: the flights sell out well before the hotels do.
We rebuild the itinerary around it, at no extra planning fee. You'll get a call from your named planner — not a form to fill in. Any unrecoverable supplier costs are passed through at cost, and we tell you before we spend anything.
Yes — from 10 people to 200. Corporate offsites include venue sourcing, transfers, and a programme, and we'll invoice your finance team properly rather than asking someone to expense it.
A 30% deposit confirms the booking, with the balance due 14 days before departure. Deposits are refundable up to 30 days out, less any supplier fees we've already committed on your behalf.
That's most of what we do. Send us dates, a rough budget, and a sense of what you're after, and we'll come back with a real itinerary rather than a brochure.
