Kung pwede lang din sana bata ipasyal jan ano, kaso hindi pa. Next year sana mas maging okay na ang lahat, masilayan nating muli ang ganda ng Tagaytay. Gusto na makakita ng anak ko ng kabayo e hahaha. Namimiss na din namin mag bulalo. Sa susunod na visit namin jan sa Tagaytay, 4 na kami!

Hi! Ms. Karla, Thank you for the update during your vacation in Tagaytay. We miss to travel as well, we love to read your educative articles with amiable tourist spots in Tagaytay. I would like to see and experience the Puzzle Mansion where the Guinness Book of World Record for the most number of jigsaw puzzles in the world. Hope to travel soon 🙂
Daming magandang pwede puntahan talaga sa Tagaytay. Last punta ko dyan, 2009 pa ?
Pinaka namimiss ko dyan yung FOG. Tapos sobrang lamig. Sabayan pa ng paghigop ng bulalo.
I missed Tagaytay! Whenever in Cavite I really hope I can drop by Tagaytay na din.. and I am glad the tourism industry is slowly going back to the normal days.. By the way love no 1 and 3 of the list! Nakakatakam din food!
good to know that little by little bumabalik na ang services ng tourism industry. hope to visit Tagaytay soon
Tempting yung puzzle mansion! I hope pwede na rin yung kids para enjoy with the whole family!
I’ve never been to puzzle mansion yet. I like to visit this place di Lang ako matuluy-tuloy ?
Pwede po pa fansign? Saw you posting this before and man, nakakamiss mag gala hahaha! And yes, top talaga sa mga dapat puntahan ang people’s park cause even if foggy enjoy pa rin dun dahil malameeeeeeg 🙂
Napuntahan ko na lahat ng place na yan sa tagatay ng madaming beses pero hindi pa din nakakasawang puntahan, sayang we were planning to go there nung July with Nathan for a friend’s wedding but cancelled because of the pandemic
I am like 15 minutes away from Tagaytay! I miss going it here but I think after pandemic na. Never been to the Sky Ranch pa talaga haha! A really nice place to spend a lazy weekend!
Never pa ko nakapamasyal sa Tagaytay usually nadadaanan ko lng siya. Pero nakakain na ako sa Mahogany Market nung Bulalo at Crispy tawilis. Sarap!
I miss Tagaytay! We used to go there on a whim during weekends. I miss the cold air and the refreshing sceneries.
The puzzle mansion is just new to me. I will visit it soon since my hometown is just 1 hr away if I use canlubang shortcut route. I remmember when going to Tagaytay to view the Taal Volcano and realize that the small volcano is not the Taal itself haha..I miss senoritang saging from tagaytay.
I just cancelled my staycation booking sa Tagaytay and I after seeing this post, I felt sad about. I really miss Tagaytay and can’t wait to enjoy this once the pandemic is over
I’ll probably wait until the restrictions are lessened so that my kiddos and parents can join the trip. Travel is more fun with them around.
I really hope we could bump to each other dyan sa tabi-tabi. ❤️ I really miss Tagaytay. It is our go-to place talaga pag summer, naulan, walang magawa… ❤️
I have visited these places for many times kasi I am 20 minutes away lang from Skyranch. Hahahahaha! I WOULD NEVER GET TIRED OF IT. The view, the ambiance, the food, the people, love ’em!
Shucks nakaka miss Tagaytay! It’s good to know they now accept tourists again!!! ? I didn’t know Puzzle Mansion is an establishment that showcases different puzzles pala… akala ko like name ng hotel or accommodation hahaha! ? Yun lang di ko napuntahan among your list! I miss the tawilis and bulalo sa Mahogany market! Huhu!
Thank you for sharing this Karla. This is very informative to readers like me who’ve been eyeing for spots to visit in Tagaytay. If I may ask, inaallow na ba ang senior citizens sa restaurants? Some of my friends told me na pwede na daw, pero my sister and grandma were not accommodated in Bulalo point.
Puzzle Mansion na lang ang hindi ko napupuntahan sa list mo! Eto na ang next targer namin sa susunod naming punta sa Tagaytay! Also, parang masarap din yung mga food sa Senor Alvino! Try din namin next time
Ay sarap na ata magroad-trip with… ay wala. Hahahaha. Pero I haven’t been in Puzzle Mansion ah. That place sounds interesting. I hope it’s gonna be safe na to travel soon. Huhu
Sad that we can’t go there yet because we have three kids who can’t travel pa. We miss Tagaytay so much. We frequent that place. It’s our go-to place to relax and break away from the city.
Thank you for this! Plan sana namin bumalik dito this year. Love the puzzle mansion, will go there since di pa kami nakapunta dun. Thanks!
Grabe. Kakamiss talaga! Planning to go back here again. Huhu. Sana maging maayos na ang lahat at sana ang mga pupunta sa tagaytay ay talagang hindi maging pabayasa pagsunod sa mga safety protocols.
Never been in the puzzel mansion… Pero the last time we visited tagaytay is after nung taal…. Konti plng ang nagoopeeate… Open na din ba ang mga hotels nila now. Nkakamis din.. Madalas kmi mgbulalo jn.. Lalo na ngayon malamig na ang panahon. Kakamiss…
Congratulations on this Ms. Karla! Such a great opportunity to be featured in Brigada, GMA TV! Galing niyo po. Many people really trust what you recommend <3
yikes. bawal pa din pala ang kids and seniors. may kid at senior pa naman ako. kung sa hotel kaya bawal pa din? malamig na din ba ngayon sa tagaytay kaya?
The museum is the best place I’ve visited in Tagaytay (I wonder if the old lady owner is still alive?). She did a great job in building her own museum, along with the adjacent Bed and Breakfast.
I super miss being in the Filipinos! Iba tlaga ang bulalo ng Tagaytay! hahanap hanapin mo tlaga! We live in Silang that’s why we always hang out in Tagaytay! Those places you mentioned will be part of my list! I want to buy a painting from that museum and bring it over here!
Fun, I love to visit this place someday! My mom is a Filipino!
Tagaytay, ito yung lugar na sana ikakasal kami this Year, but because of the Pandemic. NaAdJust, but it’s OK I know That This is Will of God, sobrang ganda tlga ng mga view dto ate Karla, and thank you for sharing this kind of Experience, mas Lalo Akong Naganhan na Pmunta Jan. Even No Occassion.. Look so Yummy Din tlaga ng Mga Food.. truly Recommended tlaga
Goodevening Ms. Karla ! That’s good to hear, I hope magtuloy tuloy na to ??⭐ But ofcourse, kailangan pa din natin mag- ingat , just follow the protocols at magiging okay talaga lahat ? Grabe , I will surely add this to my bucket list. Poponta talaga ako dyan , kasama mga kids ko ? Thank you for this wonderful blog ??⭐
Plano na namin pumunta dito kaso nagka-pandemic. Perfect place talaga yung picnic grove para sa bonding ng family habang tanaw ang Taal Volcano. I also want to try horse back riding and zip line. Tagaytay is a really great place to visit. ❤
