Top Manila Day Trips

Excellent history tour by an engaging and knowledgeable guide. Paolo was super friendly and made sure we were safe and enjoying ourselves. The tour stops in the most interesting and historical places in Intramuros and Paolo had pictures and maps to bring the history alive. If you’re in Manila, don’t miss this tour. .

We are 5 adults from the USA and wanted a "nature day tour" from Manila. This tour is very well organized, and we got responses quickly through Whatsapp. Our guide/driver Edwin was very professional; he explained what to expect during the Pagsanjan River activity. We also wanted to buy fruits along the way and he made sure we got them at the most reasonable price (since some food vendors sometimes overcharge tourists). The river itself starts calm and then the adventure starts when you hit the 1st of "16 rapids" ... we were lucky the Boatmen we had were professional and so we gave them reasonable tips. After the waterfall tour, we were hungry and we ate an excellent restaurant just beside the place where we boarded the boats...our guide Edwin already had us pick from the menu before we rode the boats. "Russel" had the our table ready by the time we were done with activity. On top of it all, we had a brand new BYD SUV and it ran smoothly and very comfy inside. We were picked up from hotel promptly at 530 AM and the back our hotel by 445 PM. Overall, highly recommend this excellent tour to enjoy the Pagsanjan waterfall, for those wanting to see the Taal Volcano along with the river activity.

Our tour guide, Mark was a rock star!! He was so kind, funny and super informative. He made our trip comfortable and fun for all. We were blessed with perfect weather. We enjoyed stops at Buko shop, local fruit vendors, a local meat market and many other items for sale here as well. We visited the countryside of Tagaytay and viewed the Taal volcano site. It was a beautiful and peaceful place. There were also souvenirs for purchase at reasonable prices. If you want to get out of the city and visit another province… this tour with Mark is a must do experience!

An outstanding tour conducted by Perl and Yves and our great driver, Carlo. Strolling through markets, eating grilled chicken intestine, boating on volcanic crater lake, 360 views from Tagaytay, hiking into a jungle waterfall….A true and authentic experience of the countryside surrounding Manila. Lots of conversations and laughter. Loved it!!

Even though we had a set itinerary my guide Zee made a few adjustments and took me to a number of very interesting sights based on my interest. She was very knowledgeable about all the places I visited and allowed me the time to really absorb the tons of information. Great driving by Adrian in the Manila traffic! All round, an excellent half day of touring cultural sights in Manila.

The company forwarded the directions to the airport pickup location the day before, which provided time to review them. I was surprised to receive another text from the company after arrival offering further assistance to the pickup location. The initial instructions were precise and clear so further assistance was not necessary. The driver arrived on time and was pleasant and helpful. Very smooth pickup and drop off at the hotel.

Our Guide (Bernardo) was great!! He shared plenty of historical information but also inquired about the guests & where they were from. I really appreciated seeing the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial Site. I enjoyed the walking tour (Fort Santiago) but it seemed others did not anticipate the amount of walking. Not sure if it was displayed in the tour information.

This was a last minute decision for a tour and turned out to be a “should’ve booked it” tour! Team was great with communications, updates and transfers back and forth. The fish were bountiful and had a great opportunity to see “Nemo” as well as swim with a large school of Jacks. I would recommend this tour to any one looking to get wet in the Philippines.
