★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 207 reviews · from $85

Review of Tagaytay’s half-day tour from Manila, with Taal Volcano views, local fruit tasting, countryside stops, jeepney rides, and practical tips.

“This was an excellent tour and great value for the price. Andrew was my guide, and was very enthusiastic, entertaining and knowledgeable. I booked this group tour less than 24 hours in advance, and received confirmation right away. I paid extra for pick up at my hotel, and Andrei and our driver were right on time. I was surprised to find that although I booked a group tour, I was the only person on this trip, and rather than cancel, the company honored my reservation and treated me as a private tour! Andrei is extremely knowledgeable and very enthusiastic and entertaining. The stops were all well planned with excellent food…”

“Really interesting and well organized excursion. Both the guide and the organizer were really kind, prepared and very nice. I was also lucky enough to make new friends during the tour.
