Not sure about all the potential tour guides available for this tour, but if you get Jian—expect to have an amazing experience! Jian was extremely knowledgeable about the food, culture, and history of the Philippines. We have taken “Foodie” tours around the world and Jian ranks among the best…highly recommend!!!
It was an Amazing food tour of Binondo Manila's Oldest Chinatown! Ivan Man Dy was Amazing throughout the whole entire tour! The food throughout the tour at the different places was Amazing as well!
Chloe was fantastic. She provided the perfect mix of history, sight seeing, and if course... food experience.
Nel was a great guide! Good conversation & delicious food, make sure to come hungry! We were full by the end of the tour. Dumplings were our favorite!
Wonderful guide! Full of energy and curiosity! We started the tour 1hr late because our guide was late to the starting location.
Highly recommend this fascinating tour of the world's oldest Chinatown. Lots of yummy food and so much to see in every direction. Our guide, Nel, provided a warm and well informed experience.
The tour was great and way too much food. Guide was knowledgeable and the pace and diversity of food have a good insight into Chinatown
This tour was a fantastic way to explore the world’s oldest Chinatown. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the city and its history, and she took us to several great spots with delicious food options. Every stop had something unique to try, and I learned a lot along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience Manila’s culture and cuisine in a fun, informative way.
Nel was our wonderful guide- very comfortable and knowledgeable in the area. She was so accommodating of me being a vegetarian and sourced me yummy meatless alternatives. Thank you!!
I am glad I went on this tour, I enjoyed it. The guide was good and knew her stuff. The food part for me was hit and miss, but that's just me. The price is bit on the high side for what we did. All in all it was good, and you get to see a bit more of Manila. you also meet some new people. I think the length of the tour was just right.
