Summer
vacations spent in a hotel in Tagaytay City will not be complete
without a tour around the locale. Seasoned travelers will definitely
agree that usual destinations include the world-famous Taal Volcano
and the family-favorite Picnic Grove. Now, this hideaway holds more
claim to its nickname as City of Character as it presents more
amusing attractions that cater to discerning holidaymakers. Among
these are:
