Fun Tour w Venus - Good tour w Venus. Great way to explore parts of Manila you wouldn’t find on your own. You also get to ride on 3 different types of public transport: jeepney, trike and tuk tuk!

Great Exploration of Non-Touristy Sections of Manila - Venus was an outstanding guide! Exactly as the tour description said, she helped us explore the hidden, non-touristy, and interesting parts of Manila. She is knowledgeable and very personable. I highly recommended this tour…and definitely try to get Venus as your guide!

A Must Do For First Visitors to Manila - A great experience to immerse yourself into the life and atmosphere of the every day Filipino. It doesn’t get more realistic and Venus does a superb job of guiding through the neighborhood, markets and hustle and bustle of downtown. If it’s your first time to Manila I highly recommend this tour, you won’t be disappointed and Venus, your guide is professional, knowledgeable and understanding!

Best tour of our Manila trip - Our favourite tour that we took in Manila. We loved our walk through the hidden backstreets. The locals were friendly and welcoming. The variety of local transport made the tour fun. We enjoyed the tuk tuk ride through the market area . We finished off with a visit to Chinatown and some pork buns. Venus is an enthusiastic and engaging guide.

Informative and fun. - The tour was awesome! Our tour guide V is amazing. This tour shouldn’t be missed, its s filled with Manila culture. Tried delicious Filipino snacks, went for a ride on a Jeepney and a Tuk Tuk. We also toured an authentic Filipino neighborhood. Had many great photo ops along the way.

Hidden Gems - I booked this tour, and was looking forward to it, but did not take the tour, was to try-out from the Chinatown tour with the rain. I rated the tour average because I had to place something there to submit the review.
