Nagpatong Rock consists of two towering limestone cliffs facing each other. These towers seem to be made up of layers of huge blocks of rock place on top of each other hence the name Nagpatong, from Tagalog word “patong” or to put on top. But how these rock formations were formed is a secret only nature knows. The most photographed view of Nagpatong Rock is the one with a flat top which is usually taken from the other rock formation. To accomplish this shot, your guide will assist you to the flat top before going to the other rock formation to take the shot. Nagpatong Is really an impressive formation but not for those who have weak hearts or fear of heights. Climbing to the top of the rock is not easy as it involves climbing through bamboo ladders and vertical walls, so climb at your own risk. Risky but a worthy feat!

Manila Food Tour: Introduction to Philippine Street Food

Stanley_W, Jul 2026

Come hungry!!

Rather than spend a week sampling foods here and there, this is a great, safe, and comprehensive way to get the flavor of Manila's tasty street food! We came hungry but were stuffed when the tour was over. Our friendly and smart guide, Chloe, took us to several spots where we were treated to 15+ servings of Manila's most iconic snack foods and drinks, some were savory, and some were sweet, but all were full-size. It was fun, delish, and filling!

Fun and educational bike ride

Excellent information. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We biked safely in the rain and sunshine. Christian was very good at explaining the history of Manila and the Philippines. We felt safe and well cared for. He went above and beyond. We enjoyed ice cream at the end, and he led us to a great Cafe for a beer and lunch after the experience.

Best tour guide in banaue!

Miller was a fantastic hilarious guide who was very knowledgeable and patient, we had the best time with him and would highly recommend his tour! He showed us the best spots to get photos, souvenirs and even swimsuits that we were needing for the waterfall that we forgot to bring. He is super flexible and caters the day to your needs, making us feel comfortable and in safe hands. He was played guitar to us at lunch, which was so sweet, and welcomed us into his home, showing us how they as a family prepare rice. He is the best tour guide and banaue and had dreams of seeing New York one day so please support his dream!

Manila: Intramuros, Chinatown, and Old Manila Half-Day Tour

Garett_C, May 2026

A do not miss tour for first timers in Manila who want a quality bite of the history, the grit, the culture of Manila

I had one full day in Manila, my first visit to the Philippines. This tour had a great tour covering Intramuros, Cathedral, For Bonafacio, Binondo (Chinatown), and "real life Manila" where we toured the narrow neighborhood alleys and the "slums" and a wet market. The absolute standout was our guide Floyd, who also happens to be federal law officer enforcement by day. Floyd absolutely made the difference, providing background from a true local with knowledge, passion, and excellent speaking skills. We got to try Manila-chinatown specific foods (I'm ethnic Chinese and have been to many chinatowns in the world, so I wanted something specific to Manila.) We rode a jeepney, and an 8-person tuktuk. We got to see real local modern life, including street internet terminals, owner who raises fighting rooster, and other things. Get on this tour... everyone felt they very much got their money's worth. Note: there seems to be a lot of dependency on the tour guide availability (understandable). Not all time slots will be available if the guide isn't available. I signed up for an 8am, which ended up not happening so they rescheduled me for 11am. Even with this, I would prioritize this tour and make room in your schedule.

Manila Food Tour: Explore World's Oldest Chinatown

Great Manila Chinatown Food Tour

This tour was a fantastic way to explore the world’s oldest Chinatown. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the city and its history, and she took us to several great spots with delicious food options. Every stop had something unique to try, and I learned a lot along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience Manila’s culture and cuisine in a fun, informative way.

Amazing place to visit

This was a great opportunity to see a magical place. Richard was an awesome tour guide., and very knowledgeable. Very easy to talk to. Since I was a solo traveler, and the only one booked for that day, it was really special to have the trip go well. Ronald was a great driver, and a pleasure to talk to as well.

Manila's Walled City: Intramuros Walking Tour

Lissa_B, Dec 2025

Highly recommended Manila activity

This was the only tour we booked during our trip to Manila and I'm so glad we did. The last time I went to Intramuros was when I was a young child so to come back as an adult, it felt different and I understood the history a lot better and appreciated the Philippine culture a lot more. We came a bit late but our tour guide was nice enough to wait for us. From the start of our tour, I thoroughly enjoyed the background, the insight, and the physical artifacts that supported the whole tour. Intramuros/Fort Santiago is a bastion of Philippines history and to be able to hear more about Jose Rizal's contribution to Philippines independence made me more proud to be Pilipino. Seeing the dungeon where many people suffered and perished was nothing short of heartbreaking. I can only imagine the pain and helplessness of those who were left in that dungeon. After that, I enjoyed the small break with our sorbetes (ice cream) and water. After Fort Santiago, we came to Manila Cathedral. It was also my first time seeing that church. It's not as big and grand as other cathedrals in other countries but the inside was very ornate and looks wonderful. It's amazing to see the headquarters of the Philippines Catholic Church. The kalesa ride was pretty fun. It was our first time. Also, to have a driver who knows the history of the area was an added bonus. He was also pretty funny so we had a great time while riding the kalesa. After the ride, we ended up in San Agustin Church. When we got there, there was a baptism that was happening so we weren't able to get in but we still got a historical lesson of the church. Last but not least, we got to see the Plaza San Luis Complex where a grand house was set up to look how it was back during the Spanish colonial times. It was great seeing antique furniture and all the accoutrements that were used back in the day. It was also interesting to see how this mansion came about. I won't get into more detail for potential people who want to do this activity but you will be surprised. Overall, I highly recommend this activity, especially if it's your first time in Manila or you're just curious. Our tour guide was awesome, engaging, and very knowledgeable.

Manila: MNL Airport Private Transfer to/from Manila City Center

David_M, Nov 2025

Great Transfer Service

What a great purchase and experience. Bryant our driver contacted me the day before to introduce himself and to provide me with directions for pick up location. We kept in contact with Bryant to update him of our airport arrival, so he was at the pick up location a few minutes after we arrived there (given Manila traffic, this was awesome service). He helped us with our bags and then negotiated traffic safely and calmly in his very clean and nice vehicle. Cant ask for more !

Manila Intramuros Walking tour with Local Tour Guide

Oliva_A, Nov 2025

Guided tour through intramuros

Victor was an informative and attentive guide. If you are visiting from outside of the Philippines, this is a good way of learning about the cultural and historical background of intramuros. Many areas I would not have recognised the significance of, or how to find them, without assistance. Casa Manila was a particular highlight, with its intricate decor.

Lori_G, Oct 2025

A thorough and enjoyable tour!

Jian was a wonderful guide. I ended up being the only guest that day, so I got a private tour with him, which was fantastic, personal, and allowed for a lot of detail. We toured the St Augustin Church, Casa Manila, and the Fort Santiago plaza. Weather rained us out for a longer stay at the Fort and Manila Cathedral, but that left room for a Tricycle ride through Intramuros and a deeper discussion over coffee, between locations. Highly recommend Jian and his company for this and the other tours they offer. If we're back in Manila I'll definitely look for more experiences with Jian!
