Cavite Adventure: Tagaytay City

Tagaytay City details

| Taal Volcano as seen from Tagaytay City |
Known as "The Country's Second Summer Capital", Tagaytay City's proximity to Manila makes it a frequent destination for those who are on a budget adventure or those who are just escaping the city life. Tagaytay City's unique blend of beautiful scenery and semi-temperate climate makes tourists and adventurers come back for more.

| My friends and my old ride |
Since my wife and I live near Tagaytay City, we have the convenience of going there anytime we want to. I, for one, have been to Tagaytay plenty of times and experienced a lot of memorable things there. The most unforgettable one that I have was when I experienced zero visibility when I drove through a very thick mist that blanketed the city during one of my road trips. Because my car then was a lowered version of a Mazda Astina, the right side fell on a meter-deep gutter which momentarily trapped the car. Lucky for me there were only a few cars (and buses) on the street that day.

| My wife and I with our new ride |
Tagaytay City would always have a place in my heart (and travel list) because that is the only place that I would want to go to when I'm stressed and I'm at my lowest point.

Well at least when I visit Tagaytay City now, I won't mind going into a thick mist or falling into a meter-deep gutter because my new ride would probably handle all of those. (Except a cliff plunge of course.)

Hi! My friends and I are planning a trip to Tagaytay this June and we have very little idea about the fare and places to go to. Your itinerary will be very helpful for us. Thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteAnd more adventures to come! ^_^
Thank you so much my friend! Your comment surely made my day! Be safe!
DeleteI was wondering if you know what time is the last trip from tagaytay going to manila? Thank you
DeleteHi Bowdy! As far as I remember the buses plying in Tagaytay to Manila runs up to midnight with occasional buses going up until early in the morning. =)
DeleteMy Hubby & I are already booked at Hotel Dominique in Tagaytay this September for our Anniversary and I am searching for bus & jeepney fares on google and i found your blog :) this really helps a lot, I just have a question if you gonna ride the jeepney you will just ask if they can get you to the place you wanted to go too? for example "Manong Pink Sisters Convent nga po?" will that work? LOL my first time to commute in tagaytay before we rent some cars but it's kinda expensive nowadays. Thanks in Advance!
ReplyDeleteHi Jengie! Advanced happy anniversary to you guys!
DeleteYup that's correct most Tagaytay residents are kind enough to give you info on places you want to visit. You could ask the jeepney driver if he's passing by your desired destination. If not ask him what to ride. =)
Hi Neil,Sorry for the uber late response...Our Trip will be later after Lunch since my hubby needs to work at least half day, all our bags are pack and we are ready to go! Obviously I am excited ;) it is already way past 3am and I am still up.. still looking for places to go to and where to eat affordable food... since we love to eat.. Anyway Wish Us Luck! :) God Bless You!
Delete=) Wow! Good luck on your "honeymoon" hehehe. Wishing you luck Jengie!If you're looking for a place to eat I highly recommend Bag of Beans. =)
DeleteThank you for this blog! I'm thinking of heading there this coming thursday and was practically clueless on what to expect over at Tagaytay as there wasn't much info for me to google.
ReplyDeleteNow I have a better sense of the things to do over there. Good job and thanks again!
I'm happy that my blog helped you Farhan. I do hope that you'd enjoy the beauty of Tagaytay City!
DeleteI was wondering if you know what time the last trip from tagaytay goiong to manila, via bus is?
ReplyDeleteHi Bowdy! As far as I remember the buses plying in Tagaytay to Manila runs up to midnight with occasional buses going up until early in the morning. =)
Deletehi,.. super thanks sa blog na to.. but i have some questions sana... san ba yung sakayan dito sa manila ng bus papuntang tagaytay.. and san mismo kami magpapabababa? tapos magkakalapit lang po ba yang mga destinations na yan? salamat... this weekend maghapon lang kami ang punta namin.. hope you can help me..
ReplyDeleteHi Laarni! Update on the terminals for tagaytay from Manila. Nasa may Southbound terminal na lahat ng provincial buses heading to Tagaytay. =) About the destinations you have to ride a tricycle or jeep para mapuntahan mo lahat. =)
DeleteThanks for the infos... It has been a while since the last time I was in Tagaytay.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! =) It's really nice to hear from you!
DeleteHi Sir Neil Alvin! Thanks po for the info and itinerary this will help us to our plan trip to Tagaytay with my friends. Anyway meron po ba kayong alam na resort/beach for swimming sa Tagaytay?Thanks po in advance.-Jom here.=)
ReplyDeleteHi Jom. Tagaytay is far from the beach, The nearest one is in Batangas. You can spend a day in Tagaytay and board a bus heading to Nasugbu after if you want to. =) Swimming in Taal Lake is possible.
DeleteHow far po yung travel time from Tagaytay to Nasugbu sir?-jom
ReplyDeleteHey Jom. It's 1 hour and 20 minutes to 1 hour and 30 minutes. =) Hope that helps! =)
Deleteim planning to go to tagaytay for a date..but im still worried about the budget..hehhehe!!!medyo bata pa kasi and wala maxado budget.ok,na ba budget kahit 3thou for 2days?
ReplyDeleteHi tol Norman. The 3K would fall for the day tour budget but kung gugustuhin ang titipirin pwede. Mahal kasi ang hotel rooms sa Tagaytay. If you want save a thousand more mejo ok pa ang 4K. Hope that helps pal.
Deletehi sir magstay kami ng family ko this coming christmas eve until xmas day..any resto and bar na pwedeng magstay until 1 am? (noche buena)
ReplyDeleteHi pal! The most common spot would be in Kontiki in front of Starbucks. If di nila type dun then Starbucks would be a great alternative plus ang dami niyong pwedeng tambayan dun. =)
Deletesame with Anonymous:)..my husband and I will be in Tagaytay on the 24th and 25th of Dec..any resto you can recommend where we can celebrate Noche Buena?
ReplyDeleteHi Rhea! If you want you could try out Bag of Beans pero I suggest try out the many "garden" restaurants in the city. =)

ReplyDeleteHi Angelique! Great choice of destination to start your adventure! May sakayan papuntang Tagaytay sa Park and Ride. Pero usually van nalang. If you want to ride a bus then head on to Coastal Mall near Baclaran. May mga bus dun na papuntang Nasugbu. You could ride it and tell the conductor to drop you off at Our Lady of Lourdes. =)
Deletethank you, thank you. :) naexcite po ako bgla. uhm, from Our Lady of Lourdes.. my skayan n po b dun papuntang picnic grove? o kya san po kya next n pwd q pntahan? ung nature at d mxdo crowded. hehe. salamat po tlga! :)
Deleteask ko din nga po pala, alam nio ba what time ang mass sa Our Lady of Lourdes? baka po kasi pagpunta ko dun sarado. -___- im planning to go there on tuesday or wednesday next week. :) open po ba lagi ung church? or kapag may mass lng po? super thank you po tlga :D
DeleteHi again Angelique! After sa Our Lady of Lourdes here are my options for you...
Delete1. Sky Ranch
2. Paradizoo
3. Bag of Beans (for lunch)
I'm sad to say na walang place na di matao sa Tagaytay unless it's a week day.
Last mo nang puntahan ang Picnic Grove and People's Park since nasa kabilang side yun ng Tagaytay.
Regarding sa Mass schedule on a week day I'm not sure but I know na bukas ang simbahan. =)
I hope that helps Angelique. =)
Hi can i ask for a helpful itinerary nka book kmi 2days 1 nyt sa las ventanas..if we travel tom morning wer to go first kasi 3pm pa check in nmn then 11am check d next day..gusto ko sna sundin ung itirenary mo pero nka punta na kmi sa paradizoo and dont know wat places near las ventanas.. thanks in advance..i want to be so memorable..
ReplyDeleteHi Xarah! I can email you an itinerary if you want to. If ever you could change Paradizoo with Skyranch. If you have a bigger budget you could push through with a Taal Volcano trek. =)
DeleteSure ir im sure it would be a big help.. bukas na po kasi ang alis nmn.. hehehe.. treking some other time wla yun sa budget.. gusto lang naming mag relax ng ebhie ko.. sky ranch as i search maganda puntahan kpg medyo hapon na so i think bago umuwi ng friday kmi pupunta dun last stop i think..
ReplyDeleteIf that's the case then I highly suggest na tumambay kayo sa may Starbucks overlooking Taal Volcano. Then sa hapon you could have an early dinner either sa Bag of Beans or sa mga local bulaluhan. Then balik kayo sa Kontiki infront of Starbucks and experience the nightlife of Tagaytay. =)
DeleteSir neil kindly email me at ching_emai@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThanks sana di kalabisan.. d first tym we went to tagaytay sa paradizoo lang kmi kasi umulan ng hapon.. so hoping dis tym masulit ang escapade on a friendly budget..

DeleteHi, any hotels that you know that has a nice view of taal volcano/lake?
ReplyDeleteTry these hotels, Royal Taal Inn, Villa Adelaida, Taal Vista Lodge, and Discovery Country Suites.
DeleteHi Neil Again very helpful post alam mo ba i follow your suggested itinerary last year for our year ender trip(ilocos) and contact person it was fun and thank you for your help :) and this one will go this weekend very thank you for this keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Trisha! I'm glad your trip went well. I'm also happy that my blog helped you with your trips. Have you met Kuya Jomar? The best siya diba? Hope to hear from you again Trisha! =)
DeleteHi! Pwedeng email mo naman ako kung saan kayo sumakay kasi Im planning to go to Tagaytay this Feb. 14-15.
ReplyDeleteHi Joan! Nasa Coastal Mall na ang sakayan. I'm not sure kung meron parin sa Park and Ride. You can take the buses heading to Nasugbu or Alfonso
DeleteWhat if we are from boni - crossing area. Saan po nearest transportation na pwede nming sakyan going to skyranch? And how far po ang sky ranch sa picnic grove?
ReplyDeleteHi there pal! Sorry to say but the nearest is still in Coastal Mall. If you're willing to travel to Alabang may mga vans dun sa Festival Mall that will bring you to Tagaytay thru the SLEX route. Once nasa Tagaytay ka na, you'll see the rotunda. Picnic Grove is on the left side of the city while Skyranch is on the right. =)
Deletehi sir!!laking tulong ng blog mo..pede po bang pa email ng suggeted itinerary mo sa Erwin_layacan10@yahoo.com, pu2nta kasi kami sa tagaytay ng wife ko this coming Feb14-15 and mag stay kami sa one tagaytay place. Sobrang trapik ba dun ng saturday? Thank you in advance
ReplyDeleteHello Erwin! Email sent. Traffic pag Sat. pero di naman ganun katindi. patience lang makakarating kayo. I suggest agahan niyo magbiyahe. =) Good luck sa valentines date niyo!
DeleteHi niel.. ask ko lng ano mga hotels malapit sa skyranch.. by walking na affordable. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi tol!
DeletePinakamalapit is Taal Vista. Pwede mo na lakarin pero I doubt na affordable yun.
So here's a list of affordable hotels pero you'd probably need to ride a jeep heading to Sky Ranch.
Tagaytay Haven Hotel
Elegant Star Apartelle
Tagaytay Econo Inn
Sierra Traveler's Inn
Hello sir Niel! May idea po ba kayo kung may commuters route going to Anilao Mabini, Batangas from Tagaytay? Three days kasi kami nakacheck inn sa Tagaytay, plan sana namin magside trip at magtry ng diving sa Anilao. One friend suggested na kailangan pa daw bumalik ng Manila then take a Bus na paMabini, napakahassle naman yun. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Medyo challenging ata ang side trip niyo ah. =)
DeletePero sige try this one.
From Tagaytay, look for a bus or van heading to Batangas City bus terminal. From there may mga jeepney na papuntang Mabini.
If wala naman, may mga jeep or trike that will bring you to Talisay Batangas. From there look for a jeepney to Lipa. From there ride another public transpo to Mabini.
Pero if gusto mo talaga maka-punta and sure shot na may direct na masasakyan kailangan mo talagang bumalik sa Pasay (Gil Puyat) dun may bus na direct to Batangas City. (Check out my blog about Sombrero Island).
Hope this one helps. =)
Hi any ideas kung paano po ang fastest/more convinient na antayan/ sakayan ng bus to manila from tagaytay
DeleteHi there. Try out the terminal sa Coastal Mall. Yun ang pinakamalapit.
Deletehello po.nakabook po kami sa hotel dominique May 11 check in and check out May 12. Can you suggest an itenarary na magiging sulit ang aming vacation. Double celebration , 15th wedding anniversary namin and mother's day din s sunday.
ReplyDeletethanks and hope to hear your suggestions.
God bless!
Hi there! You can use my itinerary. Updated na yan. Ang kagandahan niyan you could add more places to visit na hindi ko isinama sa itinerary. =)
DeleteHello! Help naman sa itinerary.. need ko kasi ng help sa budget. We'll be staying at Tagaytay Haven Hotel in Ulat kasi, and we'll be commuting lang.. hahaha!! Di ko alam pasikot sikot din sa Tagaytay.. :P

Hi AZ! Honestly 2K is a small amount for a Tagaytay-Batangas trip. Pwede naman pero pilit. Baka di kayo magenjoy. Kasi from Tagaytay ang pinaka accessible na place sa Batangas eh Nasugbu.
Deleteyour blog is very informative, all my concerns were answered, thanks Sir Neil!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks also for visiting my blog wheng! =) Hope to hear more from you!
DeleteSir may i ask kung ung total budget is for individual only or good for 2 persons ? Waiting for your response :-)

DeleteWell basically medyo malaki naman ang 3k per head para sa day tour.
Marami na kayong mararating at makakain niyan. =) Hope to hear more from you Rea.
Hi Niel, your Tagaytay adventure blog has an interesting information. I seldom give a comment nor read an entire blog, but this time its worth reading from start til the end. It is very useful especially for the first timers like me. And, you are a very kindhearted, willing to help all of your commenters. I even want to try and follow your itinerary but the very first thing I want to visit there is the Our Lady of Lourdes. You're a big help and thank you so much. God bless! :)
ReplyDeleteA great comment to start the year! Thank you so much Emmalyn Navarez! This made my day. =)

DeleteHI neil, i read your blog, pwede po bang magtanong, victory liner ba from pasay ay may byahe papuntang tagaytay? how about if punta kami ng morning then balik then nang afternoon, possible po ba yun? salamat ng marami
ReplyDeleteHi there!
DeleteI don't know about Victory Liner going to Tagaytay City though... Ang alam ko kasi northbound ang buses ng Victory Liner.
The buses heading to Tagaytay are usually found in Coastal Mall Terminal.
If you go to Tagaytay early like 6AM then uuwi na kayo ng 3PM kaya po.
pano po papunta ng sky ranch galing alabang?
ReplyDeleteMay mga Van sa Festival Mall. =) Di ko lang alam kung meron pa sa Metropolis.
DeleteHello po Sir Neil! Thanks po sa informative and helpful na blog nio :) I was just wondering po how to get to Picnic Grove from Sky Ranch? :) plan po kc nmin ng friend ko pumunta dun after this school year :) gusto po sana namin mapuntahan ay Sky Ranch, The Flower Farm, at Picnic Grove :) pero di namin alam ano uunahin? :D haha chaka kasya na po kaya 3k-3.5k na budget for 2? From Tagaytay to Alabang and Back? hehe Pasuggest na din po ng pwede pang punthan with our budget ;) Thank you in advance po! :) God bless! :)
ReplyDeleteHi there! From Sky Ranch, you could ride a jeepney going to Picnic Grove. =)
DeleteI suggest unahin niyo ung mga destination sa area ng picnic grove then proceed sa Sky Ranch. Kaya naman po ang 3K na budget yun lang medyo tipid kayo sa food saka day trip lang.
Sa 3K siguro ok na yung People's Park, Picnic Grove, Sky Ranch at Flower Farm. Pwede niyo rin ipasok sa itinerary ang Puzzle mansion.
Ano po ba destinations within Picnic Grove? Di po kc talaga aq magaling sa ditections eh, same sa friend ko, hehehe, pwede po ba ppost po nung sunod sunod na ppnthan with the ways po kung paano pumunta from one place to another? And kung ano po sign sa jeep na dapat sakyan? how much po ang entrance dun sa puzzle mansion? :) Sorry po mdming tanong, pero Thank you so muchh po ulit!
DeleteWell sa Picnic Grove aside from picnic areas meron din silan inooffer na zipline. =) Meron ding horseback riding. =) Maraming jeep sa Tagaytay na papuntang Amadeo or Bayan you could just ask them where you're heading and they'd drop you off there or refer you to another jeep.
DeleteThank you very much poo sa help niyo! :)
Deletetapos ask ko lang din po sana san po mgnda makabili ng pasalubong at potted flowers on our way po sa sakayan ng van pa Festival Mall? :) Thank you po ulit! :)
ReplyDeleteRegarding flowers may mga stalls sa may tabing daan sa Tagaytay kaso nung dumaan kami last week parang wala akong nakita. Usually sa may malapit sa Residence Inn Zoo yun.
DeleteThank you so much po! Sana may makita kami sa daan :) hehe di po namin alam ppunta sa Residence Inn eh, hehe Thanks po ulitt! :D
DeleteYun yung dating Paradizoo. Nasa dulo yun ng Tagaytay.
DeleteAhh ok po :) Thank you po sa help! :)
Deleteano po yung last trip ng bus from Manila to Tagaytay....saturday night kasi namin balak magpunta...Tsaka yung last trip from Tagaytay to Manila??? Thank you po sa sagot

ReplyDeletecheng_edlacir@yahoo.com
Hi there! Sorry for the late reply, I was busy kasi with something...
DeleteYou can use the itinerary that I made here. =) It's updated naman. Kung may changes man sa prices di naman ganun kalaki.
About sa 3K, It would be ok pero medyo higpit lang din ng konti sa pagbili ng mga souvenirs or pagkain kasi medyo mahal ang mga kainan sa Tagaytay.
About the places I made a list of places that y
There are many things to do in Tagaytay. Any hotel in Tagaytay recommendations?
ReplyDeleteHi there! There are plenty of things to try out in Tagaytay. I suggest you try going down to Taal Volcano. It's a bit expensive but it's worth it. However, check my blog about the volcano first so that you'd be warned...
DeleteHi Neil. I am from Cebu City. This is great! My girlfriend and I will be celebrating our 2nd anniversary in October 2015. I'm considering Tagaytay than Baguio which is quite far though. HEHE. Thanks for this dude!
ReplyDeleteHi Neil. I'm from Cebu. Thanks for this gude, This is just so great. i don't need to search google for this. My girlfriend and I are considering going to Tagaytay in October 2015 for 2nd Anniversary. Cool!I dont have to worry where to go but the money. HAHA, thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteHey there Gensbergh Rago! Thanks for these wonderful comments. Nakakainspire to work harder for my next posts. Congrats on your 2nd Anniv this coming Oct.
DeleteKeep me posted!
Hello. We are planning to go to Tagaytay (especially Sky Ranch) this coming May. I have a question when it comes to time management. Is it possible that we can enjoy all the rides there and heading up to other destinations like picnic grove, people's park etc.? And is 4500 (2pax) enough? (including transpo and meals)? We are on a day tour plan only. Can you suggest an itinerary for us with the given time and budget. Thank you so much
DeleteHi there! Malaki na yung 4500 for 2 pax for a day tour. If Sky Ranch lang ang goal niyo then kaya ang half a day dun. I suggest you visit sky ranch mga lunch time or after ng lunch para di ganun kainit. You could spend the early hours at Picnic grove. I don't suggest na pumunta pa kayo sa People's Park unless may kotse kayo.
DeleteHere's whay I suggest... Picnic Grove - Puzzle Museum or Residence Inn Zoo then cap it off sa Sky Ranch. Regarding breakfast, lunch, dinner there are plenty of restos to choose from. Hope this helps.
Saan po ang sakayan papuntang tagaytay kapag po galing ng Batangas City.
ReplyDeleteHi there! I'm not sure kung may mga UV Express vans na from Batangas City going to Tagaytay City. Usually maraming ganito sa mga malls so for sure meron yan. =)
DeleteHi Kuya Neil!
ReplyDeletePlan ko pong mag-Tagaytay next month with my mom & a few friends. Overnight po siguro. Kaya po kaya mapuntahan lahat yung mga places na to: SkyRanch, Puzzle Mansion, Mahogany Market,Sonya's Garden,Picnic Grove,People's Palace in the sky.
Ano po maisa-suggest nyong itinerary?
Hotel po? Ung may pool po sana pero affordable pa rin.
pwede nyo po ako i-email: zyramaereyes@gmail.com
Salamat po!
Hi Amae. I'll email you however medyo busy ako so I'll try to at least answer your queries pero di na kita magagawan ng itinerary. Sorry. =)
DeleteHi Kuya Neil..

Big Help! : )
You're welcome. =) Till next time! enjoy your trip.

ReplyDeletetanong ko lang kung same parin kaya yung rates and if coming from quezon city saan kaya may bus going to tagaytay?
Thanks so much! =)
DeleteAbout the rates kung may changes po minimal lang po. It you're heading from QC meron "daw" mga buses sa Cubao that goes to Batangas. The tricky part is knowing what goes thru Tagaytay City.
I suggest you go with the tried and tested. Head to Coastal Mall from there hop on a bus heading to Nasugbu. (Meron ding Tagaytay lang ang destination).
I hope that helps.
Awesome Post! i have an itinerary ready pero pa tulong sana/check. current budget is 5k for 2 persons coming from qc. do you have an email where i can send my itinerary? Thanks in advance!
ReplyDelete5k is good enough for a day or 2. =) sure send it in nicerio.neilalvin@gmail.com
DeleteI'll check it out.
Hi Sir Neil,
ReplyDeleteI am looking for a place na pwede sana mag-relax this weekend and I saw your blog. Can you suggest an itinerary within 9am-4pm lang po sana this coming saturday. 3k lang po kasi ang budget ko. Tapos commute lang coming from alabang. Thank you.
Hi there since 3K lang ang ang budget mo I believe solo backpacking ka. Well If hangang 4PM ka lang siguro you could visit either Sky Ranch or Picnic Grove and spend your time there. Maganda yung dalawang yun kasi there are plenty of things to do there. If relaxation lang din pwede mo lang enjoying ang view and magpalamig without spending.
DeleteAny suggestion for tagaytay Hotel? We planning to visit tagaytay this weekend.
ReplyDeleteThere are plenty of hotels to choose from depending on the budget. If you have a big budget go for the ones that you'd see along the ridge. If you're on a tight budget go for the ones in the town proper. Enjoy!
DeleteHi kuya neil . :)
ReplyDeleteokay na po ba yung 6k na budget for 2pax ? for 2 days po ? ang hotel po na napili nmen ng GF ko kc yung famous inn ? .. 1st timer lng kme . mga college students plng po kc kya maliit pa budget .. :)
Hello there. 6K is good enough. Since 1 day lang naman kayo magoovernight. Maraming budget hotels Sa Tagaytay so kaya yang budget na yan. Enjoy!
Deletehello po ulit kuya neil :)
Deleteeh pano po kung 3 days po kme sa tagaytay ? okay na po ba yung budget na 6k ?.. :)
Hi there! hmmmm medyo challenging yan ah. Yes pwede naman at kakayanin pero you have to look for a place na less than 2K ang per night plus you have to keep at least a P500 a day per pax budget.
DeleteHope that helps. =) Enjoy!
kuya Neil last na po ito :D
Deletepano po mag pareserve sa hotel ? kc po 1st time lng tlga nmen .Kpg nkikita ko sa online reservation kailangan ng master card or credit card ? wala pa naman po ako khit anung card ? .. pano po mag pareserve sa hotel khit walang credit card ?
pa help po sana about dto .. salamat god bless po :))
Hi there! If you really want to reserve the room and wala kang card. You could pay throu the bank. Humigi ka ng billing statement sa hotel. Once you have it you pay cash sa bank and call the hotel up and sabihin mo yung payment OR number mo.
DeleteSalamat po tlga kuya Neil . :)
Deletesabe nung staff sa hotel okay na daw kung sa Cebuana or LBC nlng mag padala ng payments .. :)
balitaan ko nlng po kayo after ng trip nmen sa tagaytay .. god bless po :)
=) You're welcome! Glad to help!
DeleteWill be waiting for an update from you be safe.
The looks and the location of it is very nice and beautiful. Make me want more to visit Tagaytay sooner. :)

Planning to leabe manila around 7am and go home around 6pm. help naman where to go na accessible ang starbucks at any time pati mushroom restaurant and mahogany market. Planning to go there this sunday. TIA:)
ReplyDeleteHi sir Neil, help naman po for a suggestion on a trip to tagaytay for just a day. Planning to leave from coastal mall around 7am and go back in manila around 6pm. Gusto lang sana namin magfoodtrip and tumambay. Help naman po with places to go na accessible ang starbucks at any time and location where we'll be coming from. Budget is just 1k per head. TIA:)
ReplyDeleteHi there Joey! Since day tour yan I think kaya namang isiksik ang 1K na budget. Yung nga lang about 30 -40% nito ang makakain nga transportation fees.
DeleteIf food trip ang trip niyo meron area malapit sa Our Lady of Lourdes Parish na mga kainan. Meron din doong Starbucks na may magandang view ng Taal Lake and Volcano sulit na dun tumambay.
Hi sir neil, thanks for the answer. :) anung bus po sasakyan namin and how to get there?
ReplyDeleteYou could head to Coastal Mall and check out the buses there. =) Ayoko magbangit ng companies baka may magtampo hahaha.
DeleteAnu po sasakyan namin bus lets say from coastal mall and where to get off? Yung easy access sana sa mga public transpo around the area and pabalik ng manila. Thanks po ulit.
ReplyDeleteHey there! From coastal mall marami na pong bus to choose from. =) Pabalik naman marami rin pong bus na mapagpipilian
DeleteHi! Thanks for this blog it is very informative.. :) just want to ask if you know how to get to the new bag of beans in twin lake via commute also? Thanks in advance. :)
ReplyDeleteHi there! Ang alam ko may mga jeep and bus na dumadaan going to Twin Lake. However, honestly, I haven't tried going there yet by commute. =(
DeleteJust been there with my best friend in a tight budget. And yes! Very. Budget pero nag enjoy ki and nakarating pa ng batangas to try the lomi.
ReplyDeleteOur 3k budget mostly went to room accomodation. 1500. Yun na raw ang pinaka mura with aircon, wifi and tv along kaykulot road.
The remaining 1.5k goes to food and fares. I think mga 750 sa fare..
Basta one pf a kind experience :)
Thank you for sharing your adventure Jan Paul. Would love to hear from you again! More adventures to you and your best friend!

The locals will be more than willing to point the cheapest one.
Very informative and helpful...

ReplyDeleteFrom buendia po it's better if you ride a bus going to baclaran. From there, lakarin niyo po going dun sa terminal. Marami na pong buses don going to Tagaytay. You could also ride a bus going to Nasugbu daraan din po yun sa Tagaytay.
DeleteEnjoy!
Hi Mr.Neil,
ReplyDeleteMe and my friend will go to Tagaytay Nov.4-5. Meron naman po transportation na and accomodation. Pwede na po ba yung 1k na budget para sa food at pasyal? Any recommendation po? Salamat.
Hi there!
DeleteGiven that you're already in Tagaytay, I think ok na yung 1k for food and pasyal. Pero sobrang liit nun if overnight. Aside from that yung kain niyo is limited din sa P100 per meal.
ok na siguro yung 3K na budget pax. Sobra pa yun kung tutuusin.
Hello, any time ba my bus sa coastal mall papunta sa tagaytay . We are planning to go sana sa picnic grove.thank u.
ReplyDeleteHi there! Hindi ko lang sure kung hanggang anong oras sila sa gabi pero kung may van till 11 ata sila.
DeleteHi Neil! My bf and I are planning to go to tagaytay by nextweek. kaya lang we're looking for a place to stay in for a night and overlooking na. Kanina pa kasi ako naghahanap kaso super expensive like taal vista, royal taal inn, and discovery suites. Is there any recommended place that you can suggest? Our budget per room is frm 1.5K to 2500. Apat kasi kami pupunta so we badly need a not so expensive overlooking place since 2 rooms and iaaccomodate namin.
ReplyDeleteHi There!
DeleteTry Tagaytay Haven Hotel at the back of Jollibee. That's where I stay pag nagoover night ako. Kaso wala siyang view ng Taal Lake but still magandang magstay dito lalo na if you get the room facing Jollibee.
Hi Neil! Question, Maganda po ba sa "tagaytay lake view vista hotel"? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell maganda siya if maganda. Pero maganda rin ang presyo niya. =)
DeleteHello po. Ask ko lang po pano mag commute from QC to Amadeo. Thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteRide a van or bus going to Nasugbu via Tagaytay. =) Dadaan yun sa Amadeo. Tell the conductor na ibaba kayo sa target place niyo sa Amadeo.
DeleteHi sir very informative tong blog nyo... i have a question po, pag manggagaling pp ba ng skyranch pano ang pagpunta sa puzzle mansion at sa picnic grove
ReplyDelete... thanks :)
hi sir.. thanks for this info very informative..
ReplyDeletemay i just ask from skyranch pano po ang pagpunta sa picnic grove and sa puzzle mansion. thanks
Magkaibang side ang picnic grove and puzzle mansion. Nasa Cuadra Street, Brgy Asisan ang puzzle mansion. while other side ang picnic grove
DeleteHello Sir, ask ko lang, paano po pupunta ng twin lake ng commute? Anong sasakyan. Likewise, ano sasakyan from twin lake going to Ligaya drive
ReplyDeleteBig help po sana. Thank you
Hi there... From Tagaytay's rotunda, merong mga buses going to Nasugbu. Sakay ka dun. Tell the conductor to drop you off sa Twin Lakes nasa driver side yun. To be sure kung alam nila ask them before boarding.
Deleteare there buses or vans that go to tagaytay from alabang? btw...im a huge fan of what you do. i travel too but confine myself to discovering the pristine beaches in our country, and i dont have a blog. it's just a me, myself kinda thing...kudos to you dude!
ReplyDeleteHi there,
DeleteThere are vans in Festival mall going to Tagaytay. Meron din ata sa Starmall. Thank you for your positive feedback.I do hope tp see your adventures someday. :)
Hi there! I haven't checked in there yet but some of my friends who did said it was ok. Safety wise it's ok. The issue there might be the food. =)
ReplyDeleteBisita kayo ulit dito sir. Marami na pong naimprove at pwedeng puntahan.
ReplyDeleteWill do. Salamat!
