Our tour guide was great to deal with during the tour and in the lead up. Quick responses to questions and very knowledgeable about the sites we visited. It was a shame we couldn’t hike the volcano but we were still able to see the surrounding town and the ash was still being cleaned up. The falls was well worth it also with beautiful scenery. The only thing which annoyed us was at the falls everyone asks for tips so bring cash, we tipped the boat drivers and they asked for more. There are also people that come up to your boats in the water trying to sell you drinks etc and are very pushy.

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!

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 was a great tour, very informative and the tour guide was excellent. Yes, it felt a little rushed, however I do expect that on these short tours which are more of a taster. I do wish we had more time at Fort Santiago to explore 'solo'. There was just so much to see and I would have loved the opportunity to wander on my own for a little bit. The reason this review is 3 stars is that on our tour we did not visit San Agustin Church. I understand the traffic was shocking on a Saturday afternoon, however, I was sitting in the van fully expecting to go there, when the next minute I am back at my hotel with no warning or checking if it was okay to skip this part. I was bitterly disappointed as this was my only free day in Manila and there was no opportunity for me to visit on my own. Would suggest you market this tour as 4-5 hours to allow for the traffic situation and to avoid disappointment. Nevertheless, what I did see was excellent & I found it very informative.
