A Must Do! - Our tour guide, Fernando, did a great job! Rainy season but he still managed to stop at multiple locations and was very informative.

A good introduction to Manila - I really enjoyed the tour. Stella was an informative and enthusiastic guide. As a first-time visitor to Manila and the Philippines, I learnt a lot about the country and the city. Oswald was a courteous driver who safely negotiated the notorious Manila traffic. I was kept fully updated when the traffic delayed my pick-up time

A lovely outing in Manila... - A lovely outing that showcased a lot of well-known tourists attractions in Metro Manila. I was exploring by myself and happened to book my tour on a day no one else did; not only did the organizer not cancel my tour, but my Guide (Richard) and Captain (Mark) were both very kind and respectful. I felt very safe and was entertained throughout the tour. Richard was incredibly knowledgeable and very easy to talk to, I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with him! The hotel pickup/dropoff was effortless and there were plenty of beverage/toilet stops for comfort. I can't recommend this tour enough. I look forward to maybe trying other tours as well.

Half-Day Manila Tour with Insightful Historical Context - The tour guide is knowledgeable about the history of Philippines. He explained the history of Philippines to us along the way and told us about the national hero Rizal, and how America soldiers helped Philippine to fight both Spanish and Japanese in the war times. It’s a pleasant and knowledge gaining journey.

A Great tour of Manila - We had an incredible 5-hour tour of Manila on Saturday with our fantastic guide, Frank. His deep knowledge of Philippine history and genuine passion for his culture made the entire experience truly enriching. From the bustling financial hub of Makati to the moving American Cemetery, and the beautifully preserved district of Intramuros, Frank brought every location to life with insightful stories and historical context. We were especially impressed with how attentive and accommodating he was to our needs throughout the tour. Highlights included walking through Fort Santiago, admiring the intricate Baroque architecture of San Agustin Church, and learning about Filipino heroes like Dr. Jose Rizal. Frank is not just a guide – he’s a proud ambassador of his country. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a meaningful introduction to Manila’s past and present.

Educational without being pushy - This was a great tour. Omar & Ronni were great tour guides. There were parts that were educational & then there were times the tour was self guided. I learned a lot in the Old City but the Manila American Cemetery was absolutely the highlight for the day!!!

Manila old and new. - Be aware that travelling around Manila takes time. We thoroughly enjoyed our day out visiting both the new and old parts of Manila. I would add a visit to the HQ of General Douglas Macarthur.
