A great tour filled with adventure! You won’t only see the volcano but taste some of the delicacies that the Philippines has to offer, and even go on an exploratory hike that rewards you with a fantastic waterfall! Perl was a great guide who was attentive to my needs and ensured you were having a good time!
An exceptional moment: a ride on an authentic boat, the calm and coolness of the lake a few hours from bustling Manila before a lunch in a bamboo "hut". An exceptional view of Taal. Christine is a great, dynamic, attentive guide who answered all our questions. Thanks to her and the drivers who drove us.
Kenny and Z were amazing. We had a great day on our trip to Taal. We had several stops on the way and got to sample some yummy Philippine treats. The boat ride was wonderful, and lunch after was delicious. We had the fried talapia which was caught that morning. We highly recommend this trip!!!
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!!
Good experience and charming and knowledgeable guides, but probably too much padding out of time with all the stops at the market, the roadside fruit market and the pineapple 'plantation'. The waterfall was very nice and the boat trip was fun.
Booked last minute. Safe, fun, beautiful. Highly recommended. Our guide was fun, great energy, and made sure we had a good experience.
Unfortunately, this tour prevents you from visiting the Taal Volcano, this is not the case! And that is a shame that the wrong impression is given! A boat cruise along the island (with a mess of empty plastic bottles along the sides, which is not cleaned up!) All in all, it's a pricey tour for what you get, even lunch is not included! If we had known in advance that a visit to the volcano was not possible we would certainly not have made this booking. Tagaytay was magnificent to see and experience amazing views of the highest point.... Also the guide Jen and the driver was nothing to criticize good explanation, helpful, friendly👍 Have you also informed the tour operator Yolo Tours but do not get any response?
The team of Noi (driver) along with guides Christine and Kenny provided us all with a truly wonderful experience. Their knowledge of the areas we went and the features of the landscape and peoples was next level. They all provided a safe and well received sightseeing experience. Highly recommended.
Wonderful experience - Kenji and the team have created a lovely itinerary that really lets you experience the countryside around Manila. From the hotel pick-up and drop-off, they were involved, accessible and helpful throughout, which was especially appreciated during the waterfall hike and the volcano boat ride. I can't recommend this enough and am so glad I went with them.
The Yolo Tour team included 2 tour guides, Kenny and Nonna and driver, Francis They were very courteous, friendly and helpful. The first stop at the buko pie bake shop was amazing, having to try a piece of the pie. Then at the fruit stand where we had to try pineapple, mangosteen and senorita banana! Delicious. Unfortunately we could not buy the pie and some fruits as we travelled back to Toronto that evening The view at the People’s Park was spectacular! The one-hour boat ride to see Taal Volcano was memoranle! We were so close to the volcano and saw the many fishing ponds for sardines and milkfish. Thankfully, it did not erupt! And finally, the hidden gem - we hiked for 30 minutes through the forest and stream of water… and saw the waterfalls!!! Beautiful! Hiked back using the same route! Francis and Kenny made sure we were dropped off in time for the 4:00 pm mass in Landmark Makati Thank you so much Kenny for this memorable and informative tour! We enjoyed it so much! 02.22.2026 7:30 am -4:00 pm
