Our trip was a shared one , we knew this and pick up was on time, Guide gave short introduction at each stop then group had a set time before we moved on. Lunch was initially to be very early 11.30 am but we alll agreed to make the river cruise and lunch last stop after chocolate hills. Viewpoint needs 200 plus steps so not for the lesss mobile. Pity that quad bikes below disturb peace of site. Excellent buffet lunch and river trip with music and bankside cultural show. Good value and varied if you can spare a day off the beach.

We are a couple and we had a private full day tour to the Taal volcano area and Pagsanjan Falls. We had an amazing experience, the Yolo team was perfect, true professionals. Ryan, our guide, was so polite, with great knowledge of the areas and the English language. His English were so clear. This doesn't happen often in Asia. The areas we visited were superb and we had lunch at a traditional restaurant near Pagsanjan falls where we enjoyed the local cuisine and chatting with our guide and driver about life in Philippines. At our way back they treated us with Coconut pie! Fresh hot from the best bakery of the area. Yamy! An unforgettable experience. I totally recommend YOLO travel agency.

This 811-meter-above-sea-level mountain with 4/9 difficulty is very accessible from Metro Manila. It is, indeed, a great destination for those seeking for a quick adventure fix. Mt Batulao features well-established trails, majestic rolling hills, remarkable views, and picture-perfect landscapes. Mt. Batulao is perfect for newbies. The first part of the trek is super easy. The trek after camp 7 to and from the summit down to camp 8 however is something newbies would find a bit of a challenge but it’s the kind we all can learn from and will prepare us to more challenging climbs. *** Free pick up/drop off from your hotel in Makati, Taguig, Ermita (Manila), Malate(Manila), Muntinlupa and Pasay. additional charges will incur outside these areas

This is Manila. It’s a city filled with history from different influences: Spanish, Chinese, and of course, Filipino. Experience Manila like a local and explore the inner streets to get a first-hand glimpse of the everyday life of Filipinos. The Manileño Tour will take you around Manila in the best way we know how: via commute. A visit to Manila is not complete without riding a jeepney and a kalesa (Filipino horse carriage).

My friends and I went to Boracay way back May 2019 to celebrate my birthday. Was looking for an adventure that we can enjoy. Then I came across this diving at Ariel's point for whole day. I didn't regret doing this as activity as we really had a good time. We went to the meeting point in the morning, went on a boat ride for half an hour. On-board we had unlimited drinks of soda, liquor and beers which is really cool! when we arrived at the area we were given instructions by the staff. You can dive from 5m, 10m or 15m. And if you get tired from jumping or don't feel doing it you may, paddle boarding and kayaking. The location also was secluded and very clean!
