Wonderful experience with a wonderful crew of experienced tour guides! - I had the most amazing trip with tour guides Gerald, Justine, and Kenji and our driver Adriane. They were all very friendly and knowledgeable and we managed to do a lot in a single day. The trip included time on Taal lake on a boat as well as a wonderful walk up to a beautiful waterfall. We also did some cultural stuff by visiting a cave church. All in all I would highly recommend it!

Knowledgeable tour guide, history, experiences! - Great tour! I’m so glad I was able to book this trip. The tour guide Mark was very knowledgeable about the area and about other topics of the Philippines. We stopped at Nuvali to see an upcoming city and feed the koi. Loved the pineapple pie in Laurel and the views of Taal lake from the People’s Park in Tagaytay. Highly recommend this tour!

Amazing experience ✨✨😉 - It was a beautiful day to experience this wonderful tour . We were picked up on time and made few stops . We enjoyed feeding the fish (koi) , tasted the coconut pie end ate slices of fresh pineapple. The pie and fruits are very good . We walked to the pineapple plantation nearby . It was hot but we are prepared , we have our hat and umbrella ! The Jeepney ride to palace in the sky was fun . The view of Taal volcano is not clear , it was hazy at that time . We like the visit to the market and food tasting . It’s something interesting . The best part of this is the boat ride in Taal lake and having lunch with a view. It was about an hour ride and our boatman is outstanding! Overall , an amazing experience bec of the excellent tour guides Julius and Asia . Thanks to the driver Malon for driving safely to our destinations!

Be prepared for an experience - take you swimming gear and shoes that can get wet. - Highlights Taal active volcano Ambon Ambon falls Stone church Andrei and Gerald were fantastic local knowledgeable guides for the tour and very obliging. We caught it from Anya Resort, so did not have to go all the way from Manila. There were just 6 of us on the tour which made it a very intimate experience. The Taal Lake boat ride took us close to the Taal Island in the middle of the lake, however unfortunately tourists are no longer allowed to walk on the island. The Ambon Ambon falls were the real highlight as got to walk up the stream and then swim under the waterfall with the locals. Unforgettable! Stone church was a bonus, featuring an open air cave the locals use as a church (accompanied by the local bat colony).

A World Class Tour! - Unbelievably Amazing Experience! This really is a world class tour everyone! The guys from Yolo Travel arrived on time to pick me up, (always a good sign!), and I was greeted by Mark, my tour guide, Red, the driver and a trainee, JoJo. We rode in air conditioned comfort, ideal for any long tour and zipped past the city traffic into the province. Our first stop was Nuvali, a new estate where we stopped for coffee, light snack and an opportunity to feed the fish in the pond. The place is being developed to provide an urban village away from the hustle and bustle of Manila Metro, for young people to start families, a very modern and hip place to visit. We then ventured to the so called 'The Original Buko Pie Shop'. What a great place. Here you will find, as the name suggests, the original Buko Pie, or coconut pie, hot and absolutely delicious, our's was literally fresh out of the oven, and it truly is a melt in your mouth experience. After the pie experience we journeyed to a roadside market and pineapple plantation which sold fresh juicy pineapple and finger sized bananas. We also went to a 'wet' market where freshly cut meat could be bought, and fish, newly caught and still swimming in baskets. A further drive and we reached the start of our trek to a peak looking down onto Taal Lake and Taal volcano. Here we caught a jeepney up the steep slopes. Arriving at the peak, the view was truly breathtaking, a total 360 degree panorama awaited us, and clear skies. The view was spectacular. We visited the intended place of stay for the US President for an anticipated trip of his which did not eventuate. The site has since been converted into a scenic spot and tourist attraction for the many visitors that frequent. From the peak we could peer down onto Taal Volcano and the lake upon which it sits, truly spectacular. After spending much time here, the tour then took us back down the peak to the Lake, where there was an opportunity to rest and each lunch. I was not expecting it, but the next and most spectacular part of the tour was a boat ride to the shore of Taal Volcano. The ride is so much fun and great for adventurers wanting the full experience of Taal. We rode a catamaran right up to shallow waters of the Volcano for some breathtaking views. And the ride home was even better as we braved some choppy waters and heavy rain pelting down onto our faces, overall making for a wild boat ride back to shore. That really just about sums my experience of this tour, spectacular and breathtaking. Again, a world class tour, wonderfully escorted by my companions from Yolo Travel, Mark, Red and JoJo. Thanks guys, and thanks to all at Yolo Travel for making this a truly memorable moment of my trip to the Philippines! (Of course, I have plenty of videos and photos but with the amount of editing involved I will post these at some later date.)

Not recommended - After having In the traffic jam picking up all the people in the morning we drive to different places with no real interest except for the friends of the person in charge, differents marketplaces we have visited, at the end we take a boat on the Taal lake we have hope to visit and see some lava or burning something but no we have done a trip on a waved by the wind water lake, rinsed at every bumps by the water really uncomfortable and wet, then without eating from the whole day we came back in the traffic jam to our hotel i definitively don't recommend that overpriced excursion in a cramped minivan. Doesn't worth a dollar
