“One of the best tours I've been on. Jen our guide was absolutely brilliant, extremely knowledgeable, helpful & organised. I loved seeing the markets and trying different modes of transportation. Really exciting tasting and learning about different foods, desserts and fruits. Jen made sure it was all safe, and the tour was done at a good pace, nothing felt rushed and we had time for toilet breaks, buying water and asking questions. If you're visiting Manila you need to do this tour!”

“I recommend the guided walk with Edison if you want to learn about history and culture of Philippines. Edison has also great knowledge about architecture and urban planning of the city. I really enjoyed our discussions during the walk. He takes great pictures and knows the best spots, so you can relax during the tour and not worry about taking any yourself. Unfortunately we missed some attractions due to the recent typhoons e.g. Arroceros Forest Park. I recommend allocating more time to those outside attractions (Fort Santiago, the parks) since the museums did not offer interesting exibitions (I enjoyed the Fine Arts museum though and recommend checking out the interior…”
