Experience Off the beaten track tours in the best of
Manila with Withlocals

"We had an excellent and very informative Santa Ana tour in Manila. The tour was well-organized and gave us a deeper understanding of the area’s history, culture, and importance within the city. Our guide, Bernadette, was incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and accommodating throughout the entire experience. She was flexible with the itinerary and even added in all of the sites we specifically wanted to see, which made the tour feel much more special and personalized. Bernadette also made my family, who tend to be on the shy side..feel very comfortable asking questions and engaging throughout the tour. We truly appreciated the care and effort she put into everything and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Manila. Definitely 10 stars for Bernadette and the tour!"

"Bernadette took me through Santa Ana and gave me the chance to see Manila as a local. I loved the experience and learned a lot. She is kind, warm, Knowledgeable, and knows how to make you feel comfortable as you are experiencing Manila. "

"Bernadette introduced us to the real Santa Ana. As an architecture enthusiast, it was nice to see what remains of the old neighborhood. The visit to the public cemetery and public housing were also eye-opening."

"Bernadette was on time and she ensured my day is best utilized She understood my interest,food and was very humble.This was a great experience, to be remembered forever"

"Bernadette is incredibly kind, knowledgeable and helpful. She answered all of our questions, helped us navigate transportation and gave us a personal view of Sta Ana. It's an area of Manila we probably would have missed but incredibly grateful to have seen. "

"On top of my experience with the Vulcano tour I had the pleasure to stay with Adrie, his wife and family for some days on a Bed and Breakfast basis. This gave me the chance to just live the life as the locals do and enjoyed the food in their house. Adrie's wife Juliete is a perfect cook and she wants you to taste every local food that you can imagine. I enjoyed all of it and I must say everything tasted better than at home…. but then we do not have such tasteful fruits in Europe. While I was there I also learned about the other tours which I can definitely recommend. A day at the Hacienda Escudero seems a very relaxing day if you like culture, nature and easy going wandering around the park or have a swim. The tour has everything in it as far as I could see as well as another opportunity to relax if you want to go a day at the beach, like to Nasugbu Beach where you can get a day pass to enjoy the beautiful scenery, swimming pool and food. My stay at the Philippines for business and pleasure was a very positive one in all its essences and specially enjoyed my time with Adrie and his family. It already started with the booking with a very quick response, good ideas which ended up in the B&B possibility which solved all my logistic problems. Their warm welcome, hospitality, the drivemenship of Adrie (as I used him as my \"taxi\" driver to all the places I needed to go for my business) was amazing. Specially in Manila you need someone that knows the place and can drive like the locals do. All in all a big thank you for all the experiences and there is a lot to explore in the Philippines!
