"Rodolfo was a fantastic tour guide. I messaged him a couple nights before with places that we wanted to see and he fit it into our itinerary. He gave us a lot of history information and answered any question we had, while having funny quips! We stopped for refreshments in Intramuros and dimsum in Binondo along the way which was a great relief from the heat. He was a pleasant guide to explore all of Manila with and I will be referring my family to him that are visiting Manila this year. It’s not letting me update the price-value rating but I’d give it a 10. "
"Joem was a fantastic tour guide and we really enjoyed our time with him. He was not only very knowledgeable and engaging but also very kind and friendly. He provided us with a lot of interesting information, all delivered with great passion which kept us totally engaged throughout. His great sense of humour and impressive singing skills added an extra special touch that I'm sure none of us will forget. Highly recommend! "
"Joem met us right on time and expertly guided us through Chinatown and the surrounding area. With his guidance we tried many local foods we would not have known to order. As a bonus, afterwards he took us on a jeepney ride to near Rizal Park then gave us a great tour of the park (and Manila history) before escorting us right back to our ship! He also sings! A truly wonderful experience. "

The best time with an amazing local guide!
"Joemarie is an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable, fun and positive. We have enjoyed our walking history + food tour a lot. Visited many interesting and important spots and tried the best local street food. Joemarie is a great guide and a person. We are still impressed by his knowledge of polish national anthem :)"
"We booked a 3 hour food tour with Rodolfo for myself and my wife. He went above and beyond taking us first to Binondo Church and the back alleys of Binondo for food sampling - everything we sampled was delicious and we were so full after the tour. Rodolfo even bought us some fruits and snacks to take home with us. We then explored Escolata street and the historic buildings in the area. Our tour ended with a jeepney ride back to Makati as a special request we made. Rodolfo was very knowledgeable of the history and places we visited - we had a very memorable afternoon on our tour and would highly recommend booking a tour with him!"
"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!"

An excellent guide
"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!"
