  • Unreliable, irresponsible operator. Don't book!

    UNRELIABLE, UNPROFESSIONAL. DON’T BOOK We were very excited for our volcano and boat drive on our last day in the Philippines. We did not hear from the travel company with confirmation and detailed pick-up the day before, as is the norm, so in the evening we started texting and then calling. We said please tell us if you are coming because we don’t want to get up at 4:30 a.m. for a 5:30 a.m. pick-up unless someone is coming. At 8:30 p.m. the driver confirmed, saying he might be early. We went early to the lobby at 5:20 a.m. At 5:52 a.m. the driver texted he was on his way. At 6:21 a.m. we texted that we had been waiting for an hour, was he coming. At 6:31 I called and he said he was having problems with his navigation and the vehicle, could we wait for him. Then at 6:40 we asked him to talk to his boss to see what was happening. He called and said the trip would be cancelled due to problems with the vehicle. We then received a text from some other person, saying the trip was canceled due to an auto accident (an obvious lie). Well, our day was wasted, and we lost the chance to ever see this area. Additionally, we were tired all day from getting up at 4:30 a.m. and waiting for nothing. This company was unprofessional to not confirm properly the day before; then they provided a string of excuses and lies. They should have just canceled the night before. Clearly, they either did not want to take us, and/or they did not have a functioning vehicle. Additionally, why did the driver have to do all this? I spoke with him 3 times on the phone as he made excuses and apologized. No manager or owner called, they stuck it all onto him.

    Really cool day trip experience from Manila, Edwin picked us up and got us food, and took us to an overlook area. We went on a boat tour around the volcano and it was amazing. Lunch with a view then we went to the American cemetery in Manila. Great experience overall

  • Taal Lake and Pasanjan Falls tour

    We went on the Taal Lake and Pasanjan Falls tour 13th January 2026 our driver and guide Edwin was fabulous went out of his way to make sure we were happy and he is very accommodating he was also a good driver and knew how to cut through Manila traffic and turned up the morning of the tour 30 minutes early and we arrived back at our Hotel on time. My wife and I would happily recommend this company and their services but Edwin is the driver to ask for as he must be the best driver they have there so ask for him to be your driver you won't be disappointed.

  • Everything was great...

    Nurlan M,Jan 7, 2026

    - Review from Viator

    Everything was great except for one point. It's unclear why the tour starts at 5:30 AM, when it could easily be moved to 6:30 or even 7:00. Because of such an early start, guests lose their paid hotel breakfast and are forced to grab something at McDonald's or Starbucks. By the time you return around lunchtime, you're already exhausted and sleep-deprived. So it’s not clear why the tour needs to start this early, when shifting it by an hour or so wouldn’t affect the program but would make it much more comfortable.

    Early start to beat the traffic. Amazing scenery and guides worked well we got a good experience changing the order to allow for visibility. Larry was a great driver and I was impressed how he navigated the traffic coming back into Manila.

    Carlo was a great tour guide. Explained a lot on the way to Tagaytay and kept the great music and conversation flowing. The picnic area was beautiful area to take it all. My favorite part was the boat ride and seeing the fish farms and volcanoe in the lake

  • Wonderful tour of Taal volcano

    My family had a wonderful time. Pick up was on time and Carlo was an excellent driver. He anticipated our needs for appropriate rest stops and even bought us bananas and buko pie....they were delicious. We felt well taken cared of. The boat ride around Taal volacano and views of the lake were amazing. Our boat tour guide was great....she gave us informations that we otherwise would not have known since she used to live on the island. Overall, it was a wonderful experience worth the cost and traffic.

    The guide was really nice and it was a breathtaking experience. The way from the hotel was a bit long, but it was worth it. We arrived at the location of the volcano, first we saw it from above, and then we went on a boat trip that took about two hours. We took a tour and the boat driver explained everything to us. Highly recommended!

  • Up Close to an Active Volcano

    U3260TKjoer,Nov 28, 2024

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    5.00

    I was looking for something unique that was kind of close to Manila and stumbled across this. Perfect. I booked at 11:00 at night and Carlo was there at 5:20am as promised. Wow, great service. It's a two hour ride south to the Taal lookout. Awesome. Lots of scenery along the way. Carlo is an extremely safe driver, and made appropriate pit stops. Patient, friendly and conversational the entire time. A ride down the mountain to the dock where a tour guide, Van, and a pilot, Runell, loaded us into an outrigger and drove us around the ACTIVE VOLCANO, providing commentary all along the way. Although the water was choppy the boat was pretty stable. If you're adventurous this is great, if not, this might not be for you. My scaredy cat girlfriend made it through the two hour boat ride just fine. It was very beautiful, pretty fun, and unique. Altogether an eight hour adventure. Drop off back at my hotel. Glad I did this.
