Tagaytay is a less than a two-hour drive away from Manila, which makes it the perfect venue for quick out of town trip to de-stress. The Tagaytay cool breeze makes the experience even better and doubling it with an amazing view of the Taal landscape makes it near to perfection. But with more than a handful of activities to do in the cool city, one of the deemed favorites is horseback riding in Tagaytay.
My sister and I have no regret of riding a horse, it's quite expensive because it cost 350 pesos per horse or ride. During the horse ride there is someone to assist you, it can also as a local guide. There are so many horses in the island, and the price were all the same is fixed price, nobody can't haggle.During the horse ride those local guide can give some information about the island. The island is depending on the tourism. The richest man in the island own 600 horses and one of the horse is the one we rode.This people pulling horses don't earn much, they also depending on the tips of the tourist. Imagine they walk all the way to the highest point of Taal Island. I have great empathy with these people. At the end of our tour we gave him 100 pesos, so as his colleague. It is not obligated to give a tip, the horse ride is already too much, but if you have a golden heart these people has a family to feed. Going up and down from and to the highest point of the island is really difficult job.
