    2. thank you. What tour agency did you use for the underground river tour. Was it the servant tours? I think I will email them. Loved your pictures of El Nido and makes me want to go, but I may not have enough time and our group probably can't survive your hectic schedule. But I am a fan. best.

    3. Actually, our UR tour was fixed by Kuya Romeo, our driver/tour guide going to Honda Bay. =) His number is 0912-2536921, though I'm not sure if he's under Servant Tours.
