Worth it!! - Fernando and Osmund were both very nice to interact with. Fernando had a wealth of knowledge and very much enjoyed interacting with him whether in traffic or while we were seeing the sites. Highly recommend and don’t forget to tip your guides for sharing their knowledge, local tips/tricks, safe driving, interpreting, etc…

History buffs - Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Get see some of this historical sights and Taal volcano (not currently active) in Tagaytay.
Now that I've been, I would probably have preferred not to have gone to Tagaytay and kept to the central attractions to save on the long journey to and fro.

Great tour and service! - The tour was great and perfect for a day trip. Nori, our guide, was well versed, spoke multiple languages, and was truly a pleasure to listen to. Nori catered the trip to our needs and the current “climate”. It was a quiet day considering the Filipino election so we were able to see more than expected. Some places were closed due to the pandemic, but Nori still lets us take pics and such. There was enough free time at the various stops to take pics, where Nori would offer to take family pics. Transportation was more than adequate and our driver was very good. They all were very accommodating and I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to see Taal, Tagaytay, and the highlights of Manila.

Wear sunscreen and be ready for a long day - A great way to see Manila and learn the history of the city and the Philippines in general! The volcano was really cool and the lunch spot had an incredible view. Probably better than the Palace in the Sky did, but the Palace in the Sky did have some nice souvenirs. The cemetery was somber and beautifully maintained. The Fort and Cathedral were also interesting historical sites. There was a fair amount of walking despite being driven around. Fair warning - the driving in Manila is not for the faint of heart - trust your driver but if you get road sick, maybe take some meds. Also, another thing we weren't aware of is that some of the museums are closed on Mondays. So that was sad, but our tour guide kept us plenty entertained and busy and showed us great places to buy souvenirs without feeling pressured into buying anything.
