This was one of the best private guide tour I have ever experienced around the world. It definately worth experiencing when you visit Manila. Here is why I love this best; 1 Safe tour with no health or physical risks; Our guide Marvin drives his car very safely at all times: all restaurants and shops he guided are clean and serve fresh meals. 2 Unforgettable experiences; He guides us to Tagaytay, located in the south of Manila, which is a highland town with fancy view to the Maal lake and its surrounding volcano.The temperature is moderate and the traffic is quiet in relation to the hottset and busiest Manila. 3 Kind knowledgable and leliable Marvin Our guide Marvin is very kind. He plans our journey as flexible as possible including where and what we want to eat, what kind of activity we want to experince, and even when we want to go to the restroom.Besides he is very knowledgable and leliable. He teaches us everything about Philipines. You must choose this! A tourist from Japan

We had an amazing day tour to Tagaytay with Marvin. He was very knowledgable about the area and told us lots of interesting facts about Manila and some cultural aspects of the Philippines. He was very pleasant and friendly and he showed us some local hot spots! We stopped off to get some mango and pineapple from a local fruit market stall and we stopped in a wood crafts store also. We then went to the island dreamer resort for a gorgeous lunch of pork adobo, garlic rice and some noodles. Absolutely delicious. We were sitting looking out at the Taal volcano. We also got a private boat to bring us around the island which was spectacular! It was a major highlight of our trip to the Philippines (and we’ve been to Boracay 😂) Thank you Marvin for such an authentic and spectacular experience. Salamat Po 🥰 From the Irish couple, Róisín and Rob 🇮🇪☘️Xx

+ Flor (Guide) was super caring, helpful and very funny! + Boat-Crew managed the waves (up to 1 meter due to windy conditions) on taal lake very good! + American cementary & memorial site is just super impressive - government is not allowing to walk around taal vulcano itself FYI: The taal vulcano boat tour goes completely around the taal vulcano crater Island. The Island itself is forbidden to set foot on! Nevertheless it is a breathtaking experience to see an active vulcano from close.

Allan was a fantastic tour guide and made our day! He was perfectly on time, picked us up at our hotel and gave us interesting information about the Taal volcano and the Philippines. The Lake Tour around the volcano was great and we enjoyed a great meal at a recommended Restaurant. Highly recommended!

It was an amazing Tour. beautiful nature and an excellent guide called Marvin.
