Uncover the best of Binondo the local Way

"Our family of 5 - grandparents, mom and 2 grown kids spent a fun filled day eating through Binondo and Quiapo with Joem. We learned about the history of migration from all over southeast and Eastern Asia and its influence on the food and culture of the Philippines. He customized the tour so that we could walk throughQuiapo where grandpa spent his early childhood and then to a modern mall in Hinatown so that the kids could experience a really yummy Hal halo. Thank you Joem for a really great day."

"Joemarie was totally flexible. We were half hour late and he stayed a half hour longer and I’m sure would have stayed longer than that had way more things to see. He totally fulfilled the tour we wanted. And if you ever want the food, Tore he’s your guy. Even though we weren’t on the food tour we had the most incredible meals and snacks. He’s a lovely human being. There were only two of us so the price was a bit high"

"Rodolfo was the perfect guide. His knowledge of the history and culture of the Philippines is extensive, and his graciousness, kindness, and generosity were touching. He had excellent communication with us before and after the tour, and easily accommodated the vegetarian of our family group. He even stayed with us until our ride share picked us up!"

"Thank you Joem for showing us Manila through your eyes, as your knowledge and passion for your city truly stands out in your guiding. With a senior in our group, you always had her comfort in mind by adjusting accordingly without compromise. I hope to return and say Hi to an old friend again, til then, continue to do what you do best!"

"We booked our trip with Greg but something came up last minute and he organised Jerome as a very capable stand-in. My wife and I had a brilliant tour around Manila old quarter. Jerome was excellent, funny, informative and poignant. We enjoyed a brilliant 3 hours and packed a lot in. First class."

"We would like to thank Joem for a very pleasant tour of the non-touristy parts of Manila. Joem was extremely kind and friendly, as well as very knowledgeable, and he provided us with a lot of interesting information. He was very well prepared for our tour and, although he didn’t have to, he even knew a great deal about our country (the Czech Republic). He completely amazed us by being able to sing the Czech national anthem in the Czech language – and beautifully! Very few guides prepare themselves like this, and we truly appreciate it. Joem is reliable, helpful, kind, and highly educated, and we can highly recommend this excellent guide to all visitors to Manila. Thank you, Joem, and we wish you all the best! Markéta and family"

"Rodolfo was a wonderful guide. He went out of his way to make our tour of Intramuros as memorable as possible. His knowledge and historical recall was spot on. Would recommend if asked."
