Experience City Tours in Manila with Withlocals

"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!"

"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"

"Son and father, touring the Philippines for 3 weeks, had the distinct pleasure to spend 3+ hours with Greg, on a Sunday in late January. Greg shared his great historical knowledge about Manila, the Philippines, and South-East Asia at large, from the 1500's till today. While walking around and inside San Agustin, and then driving both inside and outside the Intramuros, and even through China Town, Greg shared his wealth of historical knowledge with us. Greg goes out of his way to tell that (hi)story while also answering the many questions that this highly interesting history raises. In the end we identified some interesting parallels between us 3 going back to the Covid 19 pandemic. Greg will happily work with you to adapt it to meet your specific interests. I would recommend taking a tour with Greg to anyone! PS Regarding the price-value rating: this really was a lifetime memory for us, hence the 10/10."

"Juliet took us on a wonderful tour of Manila. She was well versed in the history and culture of the city. She moved at our pace and was very flexible as to what we wanted to see and do. We would highly recommend Juliet!"

"We had a three hour tour with Greg. He was knowledgeable, kind, and provided a thorough tour. I learned so much about the history of the area, local politics, culture. I always love withlocals tours, because we can ask about all of the normal life things of a city. Greg was just a pleasure to spend time with. I highly recommend him and this tour to learn about manila. "

"I was so pleased and privileged to have spent a morning with Greg. Communications from the outset were helpful and clear. We had a wide-ranging conversation spanning the history, culture, politics and social issues facing the Philippines. As well as being knowledgeable, Greg is a very agreeable and interesting individual to spend a few hours with. He left me with many insights into how Manila and the country functions and the desire to learn more. I would highly recommend Greg as your guide. "

"Our group included experienced world travelers and we all agreed Greg’s tour was one of the very best we experienced. His in-depth knowledge and enthusiasm ensured both long time residents and first time visitors enjoyed seeing the hidden gems of Manila. This is your best choice for an introduction to the city."

"Rodolfo is a great tour guide! He knows every stone in the intramuros district. Next time, we will go for a street food tour with him."

"We had a great time on a walking tour of Manila with Bernadette. We had a great survey of the whole city - from local neighborhoods where tourists seldom set foot to the more popular Chinatown and Intramuros, we saw it all! We traveled by tricycle, jeepney, and by foot. We only had one full day in Manila and this was the perfect way to make the most of it. Thanks, Bernadette! "

"Jhon was very personable and customized the tour to meet our needs!"
