Great intro to Philippines

Signed up for this tour hoping to learn more about Philippines since this was my first time visiting. My guide, Perl, was the nicest and very knowledgeable tour guide. Had a great time trying out different fruits and food & visiting various spots. Great way to spend a day in Manila!

Exception tour guide/historian

Jian was an absolutely fantastic tour guide, but he’s much more than that - he’s a historian, cook, and foodie. I’ve done food tour in over a dozen countries and this tour was by far the best. Also, the food was amazing and there was so much of it. Jian even tailored what we tried based on what we were interested. Don’t hesitate, book your tour asap.

It was a very immersive way to learn about the site and its history. Our tour guide, Prime, kept us very safe and provided clear instructions and had a very deep well of knowledge that was evident throughout. We even got cold towels and ice cream after our tour!

A great tour filled with adventure! You won’t only see the volcano but taste some of the delicacies that the Philippines has to offer, and even go on an exploratory hike that rewards you with a fantastic waterfall! Perl was a great guide who was attentive to my needs and ensured you were having a good time!

A special experience

A huge thank you to my wonderful guide, Perl, and my driver, Adriane, for such an eye-opening and memorable tour. I learned so much about the history of the Philippines, and it gave me a much deeper appreciation for this beautiful country during my short stay in Manila. Perl was incredibly kind, generous with her knowledge and time, and such lovely company throughout the day. Adriane made the journey effortless and comfortable, driving us around with such professionalism. I already knew I loved the Philippines, but now that I understand more of its history, I admire it even more. Thank you both for such a special experience—I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly.

Manila Food Tour: Introduction to Philippine Street Food

Melinda_D, Jul 2026

Don’t Miss

This walking food tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Our guide, Chloe, struck the perfect balance of being incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely funny, and wonderfully accommodating throughout the experience. What really set this tour apart was the way she brought every stop to life. She didn’t just hand us food. She shared the history behind each dish, explained the local ingredients and traditions, and gave us a deeper appreciation for what we were tasting. It was also clear that Chloe had built real relationships with the vendors we visited. The mutual respect and friendly rapport she shared with each of them made the experience feel authentic and welcoming, rather than like a typical tourist stop. If you’re looking for a tour that combines amazing food, local culture, and a guide who is passionate about what she does, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Come hungry and leave with a full stomach and a much greater appreciation for the local food scene!

Manila by Night: Discovering City Highlights with Intramuros

A Rainy Night of History, Heart & Hidden Gems

Despite the rain, we had a fantastic time on the Historical Manila by Night tour! Pearl was an incredibly knowledgeable guide who brought Manila’s rich history to life with fascinating stories and insights, while Adrienne helped make everything run smoothly and not have to stand in the rain to wait for the car. We learned so much and never felt rushed, even with the weather. This tour is a must-do if you’re visiting Manila. If you’d like to explore more of the historic buildings from the inside, I’d recommend taking the daytime tour as well. But for a memorable evening filled with history, culture, and great guides, this tour is absolutely worth it!

Enjoyed a nice walking...

Enjoyed a nice walking tour of Intramuros with our tour guide, Arsen. He was very knowledgeable and informative. Speaks English well, so easy to understand. I requested him after reading a number of reviews giving him high marks and he did not disappoint. I highly recommend requesting Arsen if you book this tour.

After lunch encounter

We had half a day to kill between flights, 1.30 pick up from Grand Hotel, Mataki City & this tour filled the spot perfectly. Quick trip around some of the new & historical sites, with an exceptionally knowledgeable guide. Even paced, mostly driven, some easy walking.

Wonderful adventure!

The drive is worth the experience! We had a wonderful time. Our guide Mark and our driver Carlo were awesome. Mark provided information and helpful context for us to learn about the culture, people and area. Carlo navigated the streets and traffic like a pro. The floating cottage was so cute and we especially loved snorkeling and seeing the starfish and fish. Food and hospitality were wonderful.

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!
