★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 139 reviews · 8 hours · from $160Our pick

Combine Tagaytay’s Taal Volcano views with Manila’s Intramuros, Fort Santiago, Rizal Park, and American Cemetery in one practical day tour.

“A pick up point nearer our hotel would have been appreciated - we drove by our hotel before the first stop. It had taken us 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach the pick up point, where we were also dropped off after the tour!! Our guide was very informative but also extremely repetitive, and over the 8 hours it got a bit annoying. Overall the whole day was very interesting but a few minor changes could improve the next travellers experience.”
