Finding the perfect getaway spot to experience rich history, culture and beauty is no ‘Taal’ order as you embark on this guided walking tour around Taal Heritage Town. This sightseeing heritage tour starts at Goco Ancestral House with the welcoming remarks and brief history lecture about Taal, facilitated by a local expert, Pio Goco, a member of the Goco clan and one of the many passionate Taalenos working hard to preserve Taal’s heritage.

Explore the many iconic landmarks with your expert guide and soon it will be time to answer your grumbling stomach with a delicious lunch.
