An itinerary mix up but an excellent tour; just made for a long tour!

The tour was a combination of two tours which made the tour 4 hours. The first part, with our guide Floyd was outstanding!!! He is extremely knowledgeable and par excellent. The second part of the tour with the woman was very good, but was a separate tour all in itself. We toured Intremoures and Fort Santiago. It made for a four hour tour and a LOT of walking when combined with the original tour. I WAD SUPPOSED TO GO TO Intremeours and Fort Santiago on a separate tour, but now that I’ve seen it, I won’t attend my second s chedule tour.

A unique and memorable way to explore Manila

We had an amazing tuk-tuk tour through Manila with four adults and three children, and it was truly one of the highlights of our stay in Manila. In just a short amount of time, we were able to see so many different areas and local neighborhoods. It was a fantastic and fun way to explore Manila, especially with kids. Riding through downtown by tuk-tuk made the experience feel authentic and engaging. A big part of what made the tour so special was our incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide. Her energy and passion for the city really brought everything to life. Highly recommended for families who want to discover Manila in a unique and memorable way!

We highly recommend this tour! Just perfect for our family - children aged 10 and 13. Venus was timely, organised, knowledgeable, respectful and relatable. It was fantastic to get a glimpse of day-today life for Filipino people, to experience local transport and to sample delicious food and drinks. An action packed 2 hours!

Purely Amazing!!

Me and my lady have been on numerous tours all around the world. And this one has been the best one, hands down! Our tour guy Floyd was timely, knowledgeable, patient, personable, and passionate about Manila and the Philippines. The tour had the perfect mix of history, seeing the real people of the city, how they live, love, laugh, work, and survive. Everyone we encountered had a smile on there face. The 2 hours alloted for the tour was perfect. We were only in Manila for one full day and booked this tour the morning of. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Manila

Thoroughly enjoyable outing.

It was wonderful to visit the countryside with Andrei our guide. It was a relaxed outing where we had opportunity to choose what to do but we relied on his local knowledge and insights. Great views from Tagatay of volcano and back to Manila. Andrei was very helpful and understanding of our needs as older people.

I had the pleasure of going on this trip earlier today, tge tour guide ( Venus ) was very informative and no questions was ever to know, this trip comes highly and is definitely 5 out of 5 the only downside is that I couldn’t mark it higher. No trip to Manila is complete with out booking onto this trip with Venus
