The journey through the countryside was incredibly scenic, offering glimpses of beautiful landscapes and vibrant provincial life. Along the way, we had the pleasure of tasting the local buko pie and some amazing fresh fruits—both were delightful highlights of the trip. Visiting the local market was another wonderful experience, as it gave us a chance to immerse ourselves in the local culture. Despite a bit of fog, we were still able to see the Taal Volcano, which was truly a sight to behold. The natural beauty throughout the journey was also beautiful.…”

He had a sign with my name on it and actually recognized me from my photo. We had a comfortable, clean car for our party of 7. Had a slight snafu with the address (there were 2 places with the same address), but Joffre adjusted quickly and got us where we needed to be. If we did not get rained out, we were ready to hire him again for day trips.”
