I didn't know that I needed a Visa for some Asian countries…read more So before going on a vacation I searched for Travel Agencies that help in processing visa applications. This is one of the agency that came up on my search. It was easy to find. Located in a nice area. Accessible to all mode of transportation. Upon entering the office, a receptionist greets you and let you fill up a paper for a certain country you are interested in visiting. Then an agent helps you out. Checks the documents that you are submitting. And when it is completed, they will ask for your Visa Payment. And it will be a waiting game For 2-3 weeks but depends on the country you are trying to avail a visa. Sometimes with in 6 days you get a visa but sometimes it can take up to 3weeks. So plan ahead your trip and make sure you have enough time to get the visa. I recommend this travel agency.

My wife and I just returned from a trip of a lifetime, thanks in great part to Reanne and the team…read moreat Rajah Travel. We have never utilized a travel agency before and now, we're sold! We won't even consider traveling to the Philippines without contacting Reanne first. She put together the most incredible 8-Night, 3-Island itinerary, complete with stays at spectacular 5-star resorts, incredible tours we would have never thought of on our own, and every facet of transportation including flights, ferry boats, and all hotel and airport transfers. (And all during super-peak season I might add!) She was also full of awesome surprises and upgrades throughout our trip and stays including one of the most romantic anniversary dinner's we have ever experienced. But above and beyond all of that, it was her constant communication and personal service that truly impressed us. Every day she would check in with us on What's App, welcome us to new cities, give us our itinerary for the upcoming day, ask about our accommodations, check us in for our upcoming flights, and solve any conceivable problem that came up. (Most issues were solved proactively before we were even aware they could become problems, like upgrading us to business class on the ferry boat to accommodate our suitcase weight and upgrading our hotel so we could get a king-size bed.) Even on Christmas Day while she was home with her family, she was checking in with us to make sure we were happy and taken care of. When she was personally unavailable one evening, someone else from Rajah travel reached out to us on her behalf. (And then Reanne STILL contacted us an hour later!) That level of customer service obsession, creative itineraries and ideas, and a willingness and ability to work with and adjust to our style is why we will use Reanne and Rajah Travel for all of our upcoming trips to the Philippines and anywhere else they serve. (I heard they will be booking the Disney Adventure when it launches out of Singapore! Can't wait!!)

I thought that they were expensive, that you needed so much money in your bank account to get one, and that the process was physically and emotionally draining. Boy, was I wrong: getting a Japanese visa is a cinch. For starters, you don't need to go the actual Japanese embassy. The entire visa application process is now handled by 6 accredited travel agencies, and the one we chose was Friendship Tours, located at the 3rd level of the Dusit Thani Hotel. Visa application fee: P1,200. Not bad, right? We walked in there with our passports, identification documents and photos, and itineraries. Bank statements aren't actually required, but we brought them nonetheless. It took about 10 minutes to submit our applications. We called about a week and a half later and we were told our visas were ready, and I simply circled the hotel while my wife went in and got our stuff. Again, we were in and out in 10 minutes. Amazing!

After the pandemic in 2022, we again plan the target date since my husband and I are busy in our work... October 2023 was the target but then, the war in Israel against the Hamas ensued... We really wanted to travel the Holyland (bucket list) but it seemed the odds are against us. Still, Lindela assured the war will end and we wait... Finally, this March 7-18, 2024 become a reality for us. Over all, we enjoyed our trip, gained new friends amidst some mishaps. We would recommend Lindela to our able friends in the future.

Jude picked us up on time, even a few minutes earlier than the scheduled 7:30 am time. There was another couple that we picked up alstaying in Makati Astoria. They got picked up on time, too! I intentionally booked a Sunday tour to avoid traffic as well as on the weekend schedule, a cultural show is included with the entrance fees. The cost of our tour is pretty steep; however, I believe that you get what you pay for, including the excellent tour guide and driver coming from Jude, and that our mode of transportation is a 2019 or 2020, air conditioned Toyota 12- passenger van. The tour included, of course, pick-up & drop- off times. Entrance fees to Villa Escudero, generous sized portions of lunch, & of course, the amazing historical talent of Jude. We really enjoyed his company for the day. On driving Roxas Blvd, he gave us facts about Metro Manila, as well as Makati, and pointed out sights, such as Mt Makiling on the way up to Villa Escudero. We would go again, using this tour company, and request for Jude as our driver and tour guide.

Unfortunately our passports don't carry much cache and someone has to vouch that we aren't traveling with anthrax in our pockets. To make things even more complicated, different VISA centers operate a little different. Some are better than others, even though they mean the same thing. Those applying for Schengen visas have the choice of any country they are visiting, and choosing the best one is essential to save time. The Italian visa center (shared with New Zealand) is about average. The queues are long, but they do have family lanes for large groups. The waiting area is small and it can get a little tight during peak seasons, but the place is well air conditioned. It's still going to take you the entire day, but this is a little better than others.
