Great afternoon to Taygaytay
Great afternoon tour spent with two fantastic tour guides Sarah & Ariel and our driver Kai. Both tour guides were knowledgeable about the area we visit and happily answered all our questions. Despite the heavy storm we managed to see the Taal volcano. We tasted some local fruits and snacks from the food market.

Manila Old and New
In the very short time we had to spend in Manila, Stella and Marlon made sure we traveled efficiently and covered all sites with plenty of time at each stop. Stella was so knowledgeable and willing to share extra information about lifestyles and culture. We also laughed a lot! Worth every cost and so much more.

Highly Recommend!!!
Jian was SO knowledgeable and personable which made the entire experience absolutely amazing!! There was a variety of foods to try so it will be easy for everyone to find something they love. It was really nice being away from the tourist area as well ☺️ highly recommend booking this tour for anyone that knows very little about Filipino cuisine and looking to try some items they wouldn’t normally have access to!

24 years since I've been back to the Philippines!
My driver, Mr. Manuel Oreta, and I were in communication a day before my flight via WhatsApp to coordinate infos. My flight was delayed and baggage claim took a very long time. Mr. Oreta stayed in communication with me from his arrival at the airport until actual pick up. I was much later than the scheduled pick up time and Mr. Oreta waited patiently. We had a great conversation on the way to my hotel. I would ask for Mr. Oreta again when I need to book another ride! What a great experience to not have to stress how I was going to get to my hotel at night. Thank you, Mr. Oreta for your patience and great communication!

Great Tour To Learn About The History of The Philippines
We had a wonderful time. Our tour guide Perl was very friendly and knowledgeable during our tour. We learned about the history of the Philippines and how the country got its independence. We couldn't get to walk around in Chinatown due to the rain but Perl still accommodated us with some delicious snacks from our drive through stop in Chinatown. Its very beautiful to see the city at night

Fantastic Full Day Tour with Amazing Guides
We had an amazing time on the Tagaytay Full Day Sightseeing Tour.
Perl and Kyle were incredible — so attentive to details, super hospitable, and made the whole day feel effortless. They were great conversationalists and genuinely pleasant people to spend the day with.
The itinerary was well-paced, and we felt looked after from start to finish. If you want a Tagaytay tour with guides who actually care, book this one. Highly recommend!

It was a very immersive...
It was a very immersive way to learn about the site and its history. Our tour guide, Prime, kept us very safe and provided clear instructions and had a very deep well of knowledge that was evident throughout. We even got cold towels and ice cream after our tour!

Highly recommend
Carlo was such a great guide! I didn’t know what to expect when I booked this and I was so shocked. Such a beautiful, serene place tucked away. The food was sooo good! We still talk about it! Two family members didn’t swim but there’s plenty of smaller, shallow areas that they managed to spend time in. we were so happy they were also able to enjoy!!

Outstanding!
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!!

Manila cultural tour
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.

Suzette and Brian are the best!
My husband and I had an incredible experience! Our tour guides Suzette and driver Brian made us feel safe and thoroughly entertained throughout. They shared so much knowledge and showed us amazing sights in just 8 hours. I highly recommend this team for the best Manila adventure you'll find.
Truly appreciate,
Jim and Corinne

Amazing private tour - highly recommend for the flexibility!
This was an incredible day trip with our guide Edwin! Booking the private tour was absolutely worth it since we had the flexibility to go at our own pace and take bathroom breaks as needed given it is a long day in the car.
Pagsanjan Falls was absolutely incredible! The guides paddle and pull you up river through 17 rapids in a canoe while you sit and enjoy the view. The last 50 meters or so you transfer to a bamboo raft that will take you directly under the waterfall to the cave behind it. I don't know if it was just our luck but a huge benefit of the private tour was that we felt like we had the whole river to ourselves. Just as we were finishing a different large tour group was just starting with a dozen or so canoes at the same time.
The whole experience took about 12 hours but it was well worth it. Edwin made the journey enjoyable, flexible and had great communication which made all the difference for the long day!
