    I had a wonderful time. Sean and Crystal did a great job with communicating about the pick up from my hotel. Our driver for the day was Marvin, he was right on time and was at every stop to pick us up with the AC turned on ( thank goodness). We got to stop and sample fruits, walk a seafood/ meat market. We then headed up to look over the volcano, it was overcast so we couldn’t see the real beauty of the land. We then headed down to get some lunch, Sean gave many recommendations on authentic Filipino cuisine (Yum). The drive back into Manila was smooth, most of the group fell asleep from being full from lunch. We made it to the old town of Manila and to see the first Catholic Church in Manila. Was later dropped off at my hotel. Was sent a message saying thank you for joining the tour. I would highly recommend taking this tour early in your visit to Manila so you can get a good idea of the layout of this city.

    What a very unique tour! I went with my mom who has mobility issues. Luckily, my tour guide, Sean was very accommodating and helpful in assisting my mom in every step of the way. This is a whole day activity which started with the museum tour and was followed by a Carabao ride which was awesome because we were serenaded by a guitar duet. The lady who was singing has an angelic voice! I really liked it! The resort has a nice pool that u can use. The highlight of this experience for me is having lunch under a waterfall. You can feast on Filipino cuisine at your hearts desire because food is served buffet style. I’ll food was delish and yummy! After lunch we did a Filipino style kayaking on a bamboo raft on a clean and green river. I liked it too. This tour is culminated by a Filipino cultural show which showcases Filipino dances all around the Philippines. It also features a cockfight which is a popular thing in the country. I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to my friends and family. Thanks again Sean! I hope to do another tour with you someday soon!

    Yolo Travel PH is such a great tour company to work with! They were totally flexible from the start with helping us customize our tour to fit our schedule and with pick up and drop off being at the airport. They were very communicative, which created a sense of comfort and security - many tour companies had reviews about people never getting picked up. Johanna and Loonie picked us up right on time from the airport. Their nice car was a comfortable way to beat the heat with their a/c, wifi, and expert navigation. We were also hungry along the way, so they picked a fun place to stop and grab snacks where we could even feed the koi! We stopped at Tagaytay later for freshly chopped coconut waters, then a fruit market to try local exotic fruits, and finally for some fresh made lumpia - delicious! Throughout the tour, Johanna gave us so much information about each area. We rode a geebney to the top of People’s Park to see a high view of Taal Volcano, and then went to a nice lakeside resort for a closer view. We then rode a boat the the volcano led by our amazing captain, Wilson - Johanna was our very own photographer the entire time. Upon returning to shore, we had an incredible meal, customized to our vegan needs. The ride back was very comfortable and we were able to get our devices all charged up for our return to the airport. I highly recommend this tour company. They planned an amazing day for us, and took all the stress out of the planning and logistics. Great value as well!

    It was a challenging but worthwhile trip. Communications and all the arrangements were excellent. Pedro (Yolo Travel guide) and the local guide were both very nice and knowledgeable. They were very helpful and patient. I was able to go at my own pace, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. Pedro the driver was very good and the drive was smooth. Louie shared many pictures to record the memorable experience.

    Mark and the driver did everything possible to accommodate us and help us have a good time. They picked us up from the hotel in Makati and we stopped for coffee on the way. We then went to two beach resorts and swam around the coral rief. mark also told us around the area and was fun to be around. The driver gave me bread to feed the fish and I had a blast. We had an amazing time and I could not be more grateful to have met them.

    The trip was awesome from the start because of our guide Sean and Marvin, our driver. They were super friendly and accommodating to us. Once we reached Tagaytay, it started to rain, and we couldn't even see Taal view from Sky Palace, but they did tell us they would make sure we would see it from different views, which they did eventhough the rain was chasing us. I truly recommend them for your next trip in Manila...Awesome duo! We had a Blast!

    Another amazing experience from Yolo. Our tour guides Joannah and Red were the perfect companions. They were very responsive to our needs and just great people to be around!

    The floating cottage was wonderful and versatile. I enjoyed floating in the sea... My fiance lazed in the shaded hammock. The upper deck provides a quiet place to get some sun as well as picturesque vistas. The lower deck is partly shaded and provides a quaint dining area. The crew grilled fish, chicken, and eggplant while we enjoyed paradise.

    The views were splendid and the water was warm. We were able to snorkel and swim in an area abundantly populated with marine life. There were multiple lifeguards on hand so it was a completely safe adventure for everyone. For the novice swimmers we were anchored in areas that were only waist deep. This is definitely a kid friendly excursion!

    It was one of the most relaxing days of my life. Plenty of sun... Plenty of food... Plenty of activities... and Plenty of beautiful things to see!

    My sister and I have just returned from travel to the Philippines and Taiwan and we launched our trip with this memorable journey into a beautiful rural, mountainous region north of Manila. What a gift it was to have the experience, wisdom and knowledge of our guide, Jody, and to appreciate the generous hospitality of local proprietors and residents as we traveled through, and stayed in their communities. The hiking trails and paths were in excellent condition, with steep trail ascents and descents generally consisting of stairs that offered stable footing, even following rainfall. The history of the area and the care invested in the land by inhabitants through the years is evident in the beauty of the landscapes and the manually-tended farmland. I have deep gratitude for the invitation extended to us and others by local residents, knowledgeable guides, and the travel companies that organize trips, to visit this area.
