Absolutely breathtaking - definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of wonder. Just remember to bring some cash for the 150 PHP fee. The buffet food… well, let’s just say it filled the stomach, not the soul.”

“This one-day scenic tour was a highlight of our stay in Manila! The itinerary covered stunning viewpoints with plenty of time for photos. What really made it enjoyable were our guides, Claudine and JC. They were incredibly knowledgeable—sharing fascinating history, local insights, and fun facts throughout the day—always helpful, answering questions, offering tips, and ensuring everyone in the group was comfortable. Their enthusiasm was contagious and made our tour feel personal and engaging. The second half of the day we were lucky to have a personal tour inside the Intramuros, and see the gorgeous Manila Cathedral… Thank you Adrien for driving us through all the difficult traffic!”

“Our guide, Malou, was very knowledgeable of the various regional areas. The things we liked the most were Malou’s wishes for us to experience new things like drinking coconut water straight out of the coconut, fried bananas, and the jeepney ride to the peak. We also enjoyed the visit to the Manila American Cemetery, the Memorial, Rizal Park and monument, and the walled city. We especially enjoyed the history lessons as we visited each of these places. Of course if it wasn’t for our courteous and safe driver, Oswald, it would not have been possible.”

There were 15 guests on board and we had plenty of space; our ages ranged from late 20’s to early 40’s and we all ended up going out for drinks together afterwards. It was one of the guests birthdays and the crew provided a cake so we could celebrate! Our tour was on a Sunday and we had 3 stops…”

The driver gave no information on what we were doing or where we were going. It included lunch at a Luchon place… the driver tried to take us to Jollybee. I said NO. Use a different company. This place was totally unprepared and didn’t use quality help. Save you money and use a different company.”
