HOW TO GET TO TAGAYTAY, PHILIPPINES
By Car
The most convenient way to get to the city is to hire a Van or an airport taxi. Some taxi drivers charge a fixed rate or double the meter fare plus toll fees. Private taxis may between 1800 and 2000 pesos, depending on your specific destination.
By bus
This can be quite confusing for foreign tourists, and also quite difficult if you are traveling with large luggage.
For you to get to Tagaytay City, Philippines via bus from Manila, go to Roxas Boulevard, south of the Baclaran Redemptionist Bus Terminal. Walk south along the west side of the street (the direction of buses going south) and look for a Cavite Batangas bus with the destination “Tagaytay” on its windshield. Just tell the bus conductor where you are going and they will punch a ticket with a corresponding fee. The fare from Roxas Blvd. near the Del Carmen bus terminal to Tagaytay Mahogany Ave bus station (corner of Crisanto de los Reyes Rd. and Mahogany Ave.) as of March 2017 cost 80 pesos.
Tagaytay does not have a dedicated bus terminal. Just ask the bus conductor to tell you when the stop for “Tagaytay” or “Olivarez plaza” comes.

The Bag of Beans is one of my favorite to chill out, ganda ng place.And congratulations, Im seeing your posts quite a few already about Air Asia, are one of their Brand Ambassadors? Pano kaya maging influencers ng mga airlines? LOL di nila siguro kukunin kasi struggling blogger lang ako. Lol. Congratulations Sir, admiring your blog…much.
Oh man I wish I was able to just jump in the plane and take off with you guys it looks like you guys are always having fun these places are beautiful that food looks amazing I wish I could go
Thanks Air Asia for the idea of creating a new Manila-Iloilo route. This could attract a lot of tourists coming from Visayas to visit and spend vacation in Tagaytay. With a less-expense and a hassle free getaway. Looking forward to spend my vacation in Tagaytay together with my family 🙂
what a lovely place to visit with a lot to check out. Thanks for sharing such a great guide
