Trio Queen had made our 4 day trip to Puerto Princesa enjoyable and worry free.
From the time of inquiry and booking the Inn and tours, they had been so supportive and quick to respond. Thanks Lilian for the great job.

Their assistance, customer service went beyond my expectation.
Our tour guide, Ms. Marjorie, was superb. She was always 2 steps ahead on scheduling, timings, bookings of all our tours. We did not experience a single delay or inconvenience. We really appreciate all her efforts. Continue the great work Trio Queen, youre a perfect reflection of what Filipinos are.
