Per was exceptional. She communicated well, her English is very good and she went above and beyond to make sure I had the best experience. Nothing was too much trouble and I even saw more than I expected because she was that thorough. A truly unforgettable tour in the best way possible. Would use Perl again when I come back and I’d recommend Perl to anyone looking for the best tour guide in Manila.
We loved our extremely knowledgeable well spoken guide, Marco. He was thorough and answered all our questions about Manila in detail. We learned so much about the history and culture.
It was a truly wonderful tour. Our guide, Marco, was kind and attentive, and he helped foster a friendly atmosphere among the participants. I was impressed by his extensive knowledge of geography and history. The travel arrangements were well-planned, and the driver was careful and courteous. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting both Taal Lake and Intramuros.
My wife and I had an enjoyable experience. We really enjoyed Rizal Park and the history surrounding Jose Rizal. Our guide, Mark, was very knowledgeable and accommodating.
Wonderful and personal tour. The convenient pickup and drip-off from our hotel was very convenient. We especially liked the tours of the markets and mountains.
Pearl was a fantastic guide and driver was nice. Went out of her way to make sure I enjoyed the whole thing
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!
Signed up for this tour hoping to learn more about Philippines since this was my first time visiting. My guide, Perl, was the nicest and very knowledgeable tour guide. Had a great time trying out different fruits and food & visiting various spots. Great way to spend a day in Manila!
A huge thank you to my wonderful guide, Mark, and driver, Malone, for making my day trip to Tagaytay and the surrounding areas so special. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather, incredible scenery, and an unforgettable day from start to finish. Mark shared so much knowledge about the local history, culture, and landmarks, and both he and Malone were such warm, friendly company throughout the journey. Thank you both for helping create such a memorable experience—I highly recommend this tour!
It was wonderful. Guide and driver very friendly. They make you fell safe . They are very flexible knowledgeable.
Our family & I had such a great time on our Manila to Tagaytay Tour! Our tour guides, Ella & Perl from YOLO Travel Philippines were very friendly, engaging & knowledgeable. Right from the start, they introduced themselves to us & had all passengers introduce themselves to the group. This made the mixed group tour very comfortable. We also enjoyed being with them too. Our expert driver, Adrian knew his way around & we all felt safe. It’s too bad that the weather prevented us from seeing what would have been amazing views up at the Sky Park. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the tour & would definitely recommend it. Thank you again, Ella, Perl & Adrian. You’re the best!
Very friendly tour guides(2) and very knowledgeable
The People's Park is a great elevated view point for the surrounding areas.
Beautiful sceneries along the way and especially when you arrive at People’s Park. The guides were very knowledgeable and the different local markets and fruit stands you stop by along the way, really cemented the Philippine 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!
I wouldn’t recommend this tour. The first stop was just on the side of the road to look at fruit stands, and then we stopped at a market just to walk around. We then went to Tagaytay, but there wasn’t enough free time to actually explore and enjoy it on our own.
For Intramuros, I would not recommend booking a tour at all—it’s much better to simply take a Grab and walk around yourself at your own pace.
The operator was not accommodating and seemed to want to charge extra for everything, which made the experience frustrating and not worth the cost.
I had a wonderful time on the Spectacular Manila to Tagaytay Full Day Sightseeing Tour. Everything was well organized, and the views of Taal Volcano from Tagaytay were absolutely beautiful.
My guide, Nona, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience very enjoyable by sharing interesting information about the area. On her recommendation, I also tried Halo-Halo, which was delicious and a fun way to experience a local dessert.

Zee and Rose were our tour guides. They were very informative about the tour and history of Phillipines.
John was our tour guide throughout this historical visit to Intramuros and Tagaytay city. His knowledge and professionalism throughout made the day very enjoyable
We were picked up on time by an excellent car, air con perfectly set. The car/bus could hold 10 so there was plenty of room for us two, Sarah our guide and Adrian the driver. You know you have a good driver when you forget they are there, Adrian was exactly that.
Sarah asked us about our likes a dislikes, which we explained quickly. She then gave us a brief outline of our day ahead. It started with a longish drive to our first stop, the volcano and lake. On tbe way we made a couple of stops, one for tbe local pie Boko and the second for some local fruits, all generously supplied by Sarah.
All the stops we decided when to leave and Sarah gave a detailed insight at all tbe stops. After leaving the volcano, along with its other local attractions, we headed back towards Manila, stopping on the way to allow my partner to have a quick paddle in tbe sea, don't ask!
Five major attractions around Manila, Sarah helped us climb steps, gave lots of interesting information, history, and background.
We were delivered back to our ship in a timely manner, although we were pretty tired after a full day looking around Manila and the surrounding area.
We take tours often, spending half our life on cruise ships, and this tour was right up there with the best.
Sarah, was excellent, with destinations, knowledge, and above all, a keen desire to deliver the best possible experience to her customers. All delivered with charm and efficiency.
Thank you Sarah (and Adrian).
Great tour got alot for the price I paid the guide was really good and informative woukd definitely recommend
This tour was nice. Seeing the intramuros was great, just felt a little rushed at each sight.. The area in Tagaytay, was beautiful but you spend so little time there compared to the drive time out and back. The guide was very nice just wished there was more information given about where you were going or what you were to experience before you arrived at a stop. More interaction would be appreciated.
Good experience. Worth to book and have a nicely spent day. Precise start from agreed location, lenght depends on traffic.
Nice 10 hr tour to Tagaytay mostly spent on the road with our expert driver/navigator, Ryan, with Mark as our guide. Our small group boarded the van as strangers but departed as friends. The Manila smog combined with the volcanic steam obscured our panoramic view from the People's Park in the Sky. The tour was topped off with an Intramuros tour. Mark's knowledge of Philippine history makes you wonder why he isn't in academia.
It is not horrible, it could just be quite a bit better. In spite of having two guides in addition to the driver, there was very little actual guiding performed, which was too bad. There was ample opportunity to tell about the Philippines, the people, the way of life, their leaders and so on, but the guides at best responded to questions.
The minbus was in decent condition but had no working seatbelts which is quite scary in a country where traffic is very intense.
Also, they didn´t quite follow the itinerary, which was unfortunate as we ahd already seen a couple of the places downtown the day before (which we wouldn´t have done if we had known the actual plan)
The tour was well organised and was fabulous. The whole team Mark, Sarah and Aiden were very super friendly at the same time very professional. Thank you guys. This tour is a mixture of understanding of history of the Philippines and scenic view under better weather.
It was an excellent tour. John Ferdinand, the guide, Pearl assistant guide and Kyle the driver were very professional and friendly. John was a font of information and provided many nuggets of useful historical information. He explanations were clear and comprehensive. He even provided some entertainment with Karaoke singing when the city traffic was slow at times. The view of Taal volcano and lake from Tagatay viewpoints were fantastic. John and his team were very helpful throughout.
Our tour guides Hannah and Mike didn’t just show us places; they also took amazing pictures of us and also revealed stories of places we explored in Manila. With patience and passion, every path felt beautiful and meaningful. Hannah was so amazingly sweet, that we didn't really felt that we came to manila for the 1st time. She totally watched over us and walked with us like a friend, answered every question with care, and turned a simple journey into a memory we’ll always cherish. thank you Hannah and Mike.
Our tour guides, Mark, Charm, and Noi were excellent. They were very knowledgeable about everything we saw and visited. They were accommodating when my son felt too hot and needed to cool off in the ac in the van. It was a long day but It was a great experience, would totally recommend this tour.
A long but great day out. The weather wasn't on our side but nevertheless there was plenty to see and do. Marco our main guide was amazing, he was informative and funny and made the experience very enjoyable. Yvonne who was helping on the tour was also great. Definitely worth doing if you want to get the main sights done in one go or you have very limited time in Manila.
