Extraordinary day touring much of Manila
"Juliet was absolutely excellent! She and the driver, Anton, arrived as specified at my hotel. The vehicle was excellent, comfortable and cool, Juliet followed the advertised itinerary and adapted based on reality (one of the venues was closed) and my preferences. The information she provided was thorough and very informative. We ended up seeing even more than was discussed in the itinerary which was most appreciated and provided me with an even broader insight into the city. I would highly recommend Juliet for this manila tour!"

Well done
"Joemarie began communicating with me even before we met to ensure I knew where to meet him and using Grab for my transportation. He was very knowledgeable in the history of the Philippines and was able to answer all my questions even if they weren’t about the history. I felt safe when we took public transportation and walked through Chinatown. I would definitely recommend him for any other tours he may offer. Thanks again Joemarie "

We Love Rodolfo!
"My beautiful daughters and I had a wonderful food tour with Rodolfo. We explored the many cultural pockets of Manila and ate some wonderful food. Some of our favorites included tuna ceviche, hand pulled noodles, and floral infused ice cream. He was a fabulous tour guide through the city where he grew up. He even showed us some personal landmarks from his childhood as we were walking through town. He gave us an in depth history of the Philippines and told us about the artwork of his late father. Rodolfo, thank you for your hospitality! "

Private & Personalized Tours in Manila with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Manila, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Manila spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Manila.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Manila, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Manila awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Manila, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Manila. Get ready to explore like a local!
