Night sights
This was a very relaxed tour with a different perspective of the old walled city and Fort Santiago by night. We also had an opportunity to enter Chinatown at night, which was very interesting. I would recommend us as a casual walk through the old city.

Fun and educational bike ride
Excellent information. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We biked safely in the rain and sunshine. Christian was very good at explaining the history of Manila and the Philippines. We felt safe and well cared for. He went above and beyond. We enjoyed ice cream at the end, and he led us to a great Cafe for a beer and lunch after the experience.

Taste of Manila as a Local!
For our first day in Manila, we wanted to visit an area that had fewer tourists and would give us a sense of how some Manila residents live. The food tour provided an excellent background for accomplishing this. Each stop was carefully selected to introduce food that is common in the Philippines. I appreciated how the tour gradually introduced food items that may be less commonly known to Westerners. In addition, there was no pressure to eat any food item that you weren't comfortable with and the portions were more than adequate. Chloe did an excellent job explaining each food item that was offered and when it is was generally eaten by Filipinos. The last stop also provided an opportunity to visit a popular restaurant and enjoy several dishes. I would highly recommend it especially as you are recovering from jet lag and want an easier tour.

Yolo's excellent outing to Hidden Valley Springs
We throughly enjoyed an insider's tour of the Philippine provinces with Yolo's Adriene. Our visit to Hidden Valley Springs was truly one of the most beautiful and peaceful sites we have found from multiple continents. Lush manicured jungle with quiet and clear warm pools sorrounded by stable platforms, easy entrance and exit access and the entertainment of distant bird calls. A delicious buffet with highly professional staff was an extra. We highly recommend this location and Yolo Travel Philippines. Ask for Adriene and Pearl for your guides and learn history, culture and the true nature of the admirable Philippine people.

Adriane and Pearl were...
Adriane and Pearl were amazing….very knowledgeable about the Philippines history and culture. These two were some of the kindest people I’ve met. I highly recommend this tour….the weather didn’t cooperate, but Pearl still made it a forever memory for us.

Manila with help
Our gude Perl and driver Francis were great. We had a medical emergency during our tour and they helped us through it. They stayed with us the whole time and still were able to show us a good tour. Really thankful for the driver and guide that we were lucky enough to have. Recommend these two to anyone looking for an interesting tour of Manila

Day trip to Pagsanjan waterfall Tagatay and Taal Lake
Although the trip started with a hiccup (driver had to be changed at the last minute), we had a wonderful trip to the Pagsanjan waterfalls, Taal Lake and Tagatay with Kenji as our guide and Adrian as the driver. Kenji was super - chatty, full of information, helpful, friendly and flexible. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will recommend it to anyone who only has a few days in Manila.

Old Manila and Tagaytay Experience
I used to live, study and work in Manila 35 years ago. This tour refreshed my memory and updated my knowledge of Manila and its development all the way to Tagaytay area. Our tour guide (Zee) is very friendly and we’ve learned lots from her knowledge of Philippine history, Intramuros, Rizal and Paco Park! This is not just scenic tour onboard the air-conditioned mini-bus, but including lots walking tour and a little bit of street food/local delicacies tasting experience! Can also buy exotic fruits along the way! Very good driver and on time pickup service at the hotel as well. Value for money and highly recommendable!

Precise Pickup.
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.

I enjoyed the walking...
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.

Just do it...
Highly recommend… this was my most expensive excursion I booked while in the Philippines but you get what you pay for, as they say. Mark and Miel tag teamed as the driver and tour guide… Miel got us to and from safely in the crazy Manila traffic, while Mark kept the conversation going with Filipino history, highlights… along with a few tips and tricks to get around in Manila. You’ll be able to recognize Miel… he’s the better looking of the two. But honestly, nothing can describe the sheer beauty of area they’ll take you to… the crystal clear turquoise water, rainbow of colors of fish, not to mention the reef life. I’ll be coming back next year with my youngest son, and I’m going diving this time. If you’re on the fence, do it and ask for Mark and Miel you won’t regret it.

Located in Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines' 7,000-island archipelago, Manila is within easy reach of a wealth of natural wonders. Guided Manila day trips make escaping the hustle and bustle of the metropolis so much easier, bringing you to active volcanoes, coconut estates, crater lakes, refreshing waterfalls, and more—all without spending hours on end researching, planning, and arranging. And letting someone else take the wheel means you can skip the stress of traffic jams and sit back and soak up the scenery instead.
