that’s a good deal. My dad is from Sariaya and have been to both Lucban and Sariaya every so often, making the hangings and decors for our ancestral home. It’s so pretty and fun. Childhood memories of the agawan!
my wife and i love taking local tours. perhaps we will take this when we have the time. nice post anton!
will check our calendar anton! i so want to join! 🙂
Folks, to really enjoy Lucban, go there before May 15th any weekend between last week of Mid April to May 14th. Walk around town (center/plaza/gitna) in the late afternoon and night. Cool people, good food!
Thanks for the suggestion! We are going on the 14th and see 🙂
Talaga, Noemi? Thanks for sharing and we are excited to run this tour 🙂
Since you will be in the area, maybe you can drop by the Total Gas Station in San Pablo, for Italian Pizza? It’s really good, check out the following links –

in anticipation of future visits from a close friend from singapore, could you accommodate special dietary requirements (or seafood and vegetables cooked separately?) for any of the trips? my friend and her family enjoys culture trips, however, most observe strict halal diets. when they were here for a visit last year, we had difficulty finding places to eat… your tours would be heaven-sent otherwise!
hi anton! this tour looks wonderful, and i wish i had seen this post earlier to have signed up for it. do you have any other dates planned for a future Viaje del Sol culinary tour?
many thanks!
