Here’s an overview of your tour
Let me take you on a personal adventure through the rich history and vibrant culture of Manila's Sta. Ana. As your local guide, I will lead you to discover the stories behind the century-old houses, immerse you in the hustle and bustle of urban streets, and introduce you to the flavors of traditional Filipino snacks.
We'll ride together in a tricycle, the way Manileños do, and mingle with the people who make our community a warm and inviting place to visit. This tour isn't just about seeing the sights—it's about experiencing the heartbeat of Manila.
You're welcome to personalize this journey with me and create unforgettable memories in the Heritage Zone of Santa Ana
