I did it for my birthday and am so glad I did! 100% recommend.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 103 reviews · 7 hours · from $105

Private 7-hour Tagaytay Highlands and Taal Volcano tour with Marvin, scenic viewpoints, farm fruit tastings, and optional lake boat ride.

“This was an exceptional opportunity to get out of the crazy busy city and see how the surrounding towns and countryside live day to day. Our tour guide Marvin was absolutely perfect! His English was perfect for us to understand all the details. We stopped at a fresh fruit stand, which was awesome because we travel the world and it's always a little bit of a risk, where you stop. Marvin knew this vendor and the guy was fantastic and the fruit so good. Going up to the Skypark gave you a 360 panoramic layout of the land and was really well worth the time. The lake tour around Taal…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 69 reviews · from $125

Private 2-in-1 tour from Manila to Taal Volcano views and Pagsanjan Falls rafting, with hotel pickup, small-group pacing, and flexible plans.

“Pagsanjan Falls was the highlight of the tour for me. The canoe ride up the river in the lush canyon was beautiful. Going under the falls was a cool unique experience. The weather wasn't good for the optional boat tour by Taal Volcano. Only in the morning do the boat operators find out if they can go out that day. The tour guide, Daniel, was informative and kind. He answered my many questions about the Philippines and gave me guidance on how to get across the city using oublic transport and Jeepneys. During the drive to Taal Volcano, we stopped at a Starbucks to grab food and use the bathroom.…”

Private Puerto Princesa to El Nido van with hotel or airport pickup, luggage space, and planned stops at Underground River and Fort Santa Isabel.
