If it were not for our guide, Marvin, we’d probably miss the great things Manila has to offer. The trip to the volcano was very informative too. We saw how people live outside the city, saw the nature, and tried local fruit and vegetables at a roadside market. Even though the weather was rainy, we had a pleasant day with Marvin, who turned out to be very well educated, knowledgeable in many aspects of life in the Philippines. Highly recommended!

Mr. Marvin was an OUTSTANDING driver and tour. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about all the great tourist spots in the Philippines and a great teacher in the subject of Taal Volcano. My fiancee and I had a great tour and experience thanks to Mr. Marvin.
