    Great Way to Experience Manila

    Martha_E, Mar 2026
    June was a very professional guide who gave us an amazing tour. He tailored it to our desires and made Manila come alive for us. We appreciated his flexibility and knowledge of the city.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much!

    We didn’t really receive...

    Phil_R, Mar 2026
    We didn’t really receive a satisfactory explanation as to why the car couldn’t have picked us up directly at the cruise terminal rather than the rather long one walk to the outside gate. It was able to drop us off later at the terminal. The confusion arising from the lack of clear directions to the pick up place led to a frustrating hour’s delay to our excursion. After that the trip was excellent with Suzette being an excellent and informative guide of Manila and Don a very competent and careful driver. A particular highlight of the morning was a moving visit to the American cemetery for the fallen in the Pacific War, a tranquil and beautifully maintained location away from the bustle of the very large metropolis.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you very much for joining the tour with us. The port authority regulates vehicle access inside the cruise terminal, and our designated pick-up point is located outside the terminal at Gate 1. We sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused. We are truly grateful to know that you still enjoyed your tour experience with us, and we hope to welcome you again on your next visit. Safe travels always!

    Very good tour but 4 hours max

    Krzysztof_S, Feb 2026
    We were very happy about our experience we made with the guide - Suzette who has good knowledge about the history of Philippines but at the same time is not overloading guests with the details. At the same time, I think it is unfair from the tour operator to advertise the tour to take 8 hours as it creates impression that you will be shown more than by the competitors. As a couple with average physical condition, break for coffee, restrooms etc. we ended up in our hotel after 4,5 hours.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you for your review! This tour offers a complete 8-hour Manila experience, showcasing the historic Old City, modern Manila, the American Memorial, nearby malls, Chinatown, and other iconic landmarks. The itinerary can also be customized based on guests’ preferences and interests to make the most of the full 8-hour tour. Thank you so much for joining with us. 🫡

    A Great Day in Manila

    Pamela_B, Feb 2026
    Pick up at the cruise terminal gate was fairly straightforward. Glenn was our tour guide for the day & he made sure we got to see all the sights. We learned so much about the history of the Philippines & the impact Jose Rizal made on the country. Jericho was our driver & he did a great job navigating the traffic which was an absolute nightmare. Our first stop was the American cemetery, which took quite some time to get to because of the traffic, then we made our way back into the city & walked around Rizal Park before heading to our walking tour of intramuros. The guys had us back to the Port in plenty of time. It was a great day but travellers must be patient with the traffic. It's the worst we've ever seen!

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Thank you so much! 🙏

    Mabuhay!

    Ivan_B, Jan 2026
    Our guide and driver arrived right on time at our hotel. Despite unusual traffic in Manila, due to a religious event that drew 8 million Catholics downtown, they found an alternative route for our tour. Suzette was a true gift to us as she shared her deep knowledge of each site, the Philippines and the Metro Manila area. She and Don were very accommodating and watchful for our needs. I would recommend them to anyone who wants an English tour in Manila. Mabuhay!

    Best private guide of Manilla

    Bettina_S, Apr 2025
    My friend and I travelled to Manilla in March 25. We arrived by cruise ship and we were looking for a private guide for the day. After some research I booked this tour and I am so glad we did. Right from the start we had constant dialogue with Leila who organised everything for us including pictures of where we were to meet our guide and driver and of course pictures of them also. On the day we had Jun looking after us with another guide, driving us from place to place. At each destination Jun was informative, patient and spoke excellent English. As there were several cruise ships in town that day, there were hundreds of people visiting the same places we were BUT as we had disembarked the boat half an hour beforehand and as we had a private vehicle we were able to visit each place of interest a good 30-45 minutes before crowds arrived, which of course made a big difference. We could then just jump back in the car and whizz along to the next place or walk there and the car followed. All through our day, Jun looked after us so well and made us feel very safe.Unbeknown to us he took snap shots of us all day and then sent them to us at the end of the tour. They are in fact some of the best pictures I have of my vacation! I highly recommend this company and this was an excellent tour. Book with confidence.

    Andre_G, Feb 2025
    Great way to see the highlights of Manila in one day. Intramuros tour was great, history is fascinating. Tour guide and driver were extremely helpful, informative and very flexible. Also took us at our request to a really authentic Filipino restaurant. And a nice drive through Chinatown. Thanks June and Don!

    Great tour with a great guide

    Pedro_C, Jan 2025
    Our guide Glenn is one of the best! Early in the morning we were informed our guide has arrived at our hotel and will be ready whenever we’re ready. The whole time Glenn kept us informed about the history in Manila and the life of the people. Glenn is very knowledgeable and energetic. I highly recommend him for your guide in Manila.

    We had a wonderful time with our guide June and driver MJ exploring the city. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to maximise their time and want someone else to do all the planning. Very professional company overall to work with, and the whole thing was a joy. 5 stars

    Warren_F, Apr 2024
    Jon was an excellent guide for me and my work colleague. We learnt a lot about local history, the national hero, cultural and significant events touring parts of Manila we had never experienced before. We had fun relaxing and soaking in the culture, thanks Jon, legend!

    Great day in Manila with tour guide - June

    Yvonne_Z, Apr 2024
    We had a fantastic tour in Manila with our tour guide June, seeing many sites and experiencing local life. We especially enjoyed riding in the Jeepney. June coordinated a wonderful day, and our driver was top-notch. We've had many tour guides over the years through our travels and June is the best! Wish we could give him more than 5 stars.

    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    Thank you!

    A wealth of historical information

    Corazon_M, Jan 2024
    We’re very happy to have this tour. June our tour guide has a lot of knowledge regarding the info on this tour. Imagine how hard for us if we didn’t take this tour to travel to different places. Thx to our driver Roland for safely driving us around. His expertise in knowing and driving around is a breeze for him. Thx Viator.👍😁
