    Mari was super fun and...

    Gail_A, Jan 2026
    Mari was super fun and knowledgeable. Super worth it to have her around while exploring the city. When we come back to Manila we’ll definitely book with her again.

    Interesting and nice tour but not great value for money.

    Ian_W, Feb 2025
    The guides were very friendly and helpful and the food was tasty and a good variety. We were however surprised we had to pay separately for all the food. A two hour street walk food tour for AUS $80 seemed a bit high and not good value for money when you needed to pay for every food item.

    Response from Host, Feb 2025

    Hi Ian, thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the friendly guides and the variety of food. Regarding the food cost, as mentioned in the description and inclusions, food is not included in the tour price to give guests the flexibility to choose what they’d like to try. Additionally, you booked the Explore Chinatown Tour, which focuses on the culture, history, and hidden gems of Chinatown, rather than the Chinatown Food Tour. We appreciate your input and will continue improving our tours. Safe travels! #MstarTours

    Deliciously informative

    Amazing Chinatown Food Tour

    Marje_T, Jul 2024
    We lucked out and got a private tour all to ourselves! Mari was very knowledgeable, gracious and full of energy and joy. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, as she knows all the best spots for a unique food-tripping around Chinatown! We wanted to ride the local jeepney, so Mari indulged by taking one on the way back to our starting point - so much fun! Highly recommend!

    You can't go wrong with Mari

    Mari was so knowledgeable and friendly. She was so great and attentive to our 4 year old. She is also happy to accommodate requests along the way as she helped us pick and get the best price for some dragon fruit ( which my daughter loves but is hard to get back home). This was a great tour with even better food tastings

    Amazing, personalised food tour in China Town!

    Denise_v, Mar 2024
    We had an amazing time during the food tour in China Town with Mari! Mari has a super energetic and bubbly personality and really thought of everything. She gave us a nice mix of the history of the place as well as all the best local food! It was highly personalised and she really showed us some hidden gems. It is very clear she has a passion for what she does and it is one of our favorite memories in Manila! Can highly recommend Mari 🙂

    Chinatown with a local, highly recommended

    Rachel_G, Dec 2023
    Mari was great, showing us around and giving us the right amount of background information. She also coped brilliantly with our different dietary needs and took lots of photos of us that she sent via WhatsApp. We visited lots of places that we wouldn’t have found on our own and she gave us confidence in talking to the local people, who are all lovely. Would certainly recommend to anyone.

    A Truly Superstar tour

    Amazing and fun time learning about the history and exploring the hidden gems you might have missed without Mari.

    Response from Host, Nov 2023

    Thank you Jerry! I am grateful and would love to show you around my city. Thank you for trusting me with my tour. I look forward to seeing you on my future tours.

    Book with Mari! You Won’t Regret It!

    Taneesha_T, Oct 2023
    Mari is an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable and lots of fun! She knows all the hidden gems. She is also very flexible and gives great recommendations. Book with her when you’re in Manila!
