Experience Day Trips in Manila with Withlocals

"Should you only do one tour while you are in Manila, then it has to be that one ! It is really amazing. Juliet will start the tour with some views of the volcano island before driving you near the lake where a boat will bring you to the island. From there, you can decide to walk or take a horse (at your own expenses) to the top. I would recommend to do as i did a horse back riding unless you are 100% fit as the path leading to the top (same for humans or horses) is a bit difficult on the last quarter. From the top, the view on the volcano inside lake is just amazing. A must see tour."

"An experience to do. I never did rafting before and found it quite thrilling when passing through those little rapids"

"Juliet made our experience truly unforgettable. She was not only very pleasant to deal with but also more than helpful. I really recommend her as a tour guide."

"Our excursion to Tagaytay and Taal Volcano was an unforgettable experience, made truly exceptional by our wonderful guide and skilled driver. Our guide was an absolute gem—knowledgeable, engaging, and warm. She shared fascinating stories about the history and culture of the area, making every moment of the tour both educational and entertaining. Her attention to detail and her genuine passion for showcasing the beauty of the Philippines made the trip incredibly special. The highlight of the day was the fantastic Filipino lunch we enjoyed at a scenic spot overlooking Taal Lake and the volcano. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and it was clear that great care had been taken in choosing the perfect restaurant to showcase authentic Filipino cuisine. The setting was stunning, and it made the meal a true feast for both the eyes and the taste buds. Our driver was also outstanding—professional, courteous, and highly skilled. The journey to Tagaytay, with its winding roads, felt completely safe and comfortable, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the views. We wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Tagaytay and Taal Volcano. The combination of an exceptional guide, a delicious meal, and a smooth ride made this an experience we will always treasure."

"Juliet was an excellent guide who took the time to explain details about the areas we visited surrounding Tagatay. She was warm, thoughtful, effervescent and an absolute joy to spend the day! "

"Juliet was a great tour guide! She personalised our tour experience to our liking and was so accomodating throughout our day trip. She offers knowledge on the history of the Philippines, with suggestions of where to go and where to avoid; she also taught me how to speak Filipino. I highly recommend her services when you’re in Manila, our day tour with Juliet was the highlight of our trip. "

"She was professional, smart, knew her history of the area, kelp in contact until the day of the trip. Definitely made my experience worth while. "

"Juliet was incredible in formulating a customized tour, once she understood exactly our style of travel. She took us for a visit to Tagatay, to multiple sites indicative of Philippine history and, of course, a grand showing of Fort Santiago...its' painful history and all. We came away feeling like we understood the Philippines - and were entertained at the same time."

"I and my wife had booked the tour to the waterfalls and it was a really exciting day. Juliet was at our hotel before time and had a nice comfortable vehicle to drive upto the falls. She is really good and keeps you involved with her talks and suggestions. The weather was not too good but whatever we could do was thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks Juliet for the excellent company and important tips to make our trip enjoyable."

"Fantastic day. Thank you so much to our hosts. We experienced the local culture in all the activities. Love Taal climb even though it was very hot. "
