We were a group of 6, Chloe our tour guide was very nice, she arranged for us to ride in a jeepney and also one of those trikes. We visited multiple local vendors and tried some yummy food. It included a bottled water, a tea that I think was called Gulaman and a couple of local beers at the end of the tour. My husband and I really enjoyed it”
