My Half Day Manila City Tour

My tour guide for this tour was Joan. She and her driver JohnDe showed up at my hotel right on time. The itinerary was exactly as advertised. Joan did an outstanding job reviewing the history and details of the sites we visited. She obviously did her research and knew all the facts and history of the sites we visited. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and communicated well. I highly recommend her as a tour guide for this tour.

Great day in Manila

Our guide Joan clearly has a passion for her job. Joan was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and answered all of our numerous questions. Mark, our driver, he had so much patience and was a true professional getting us safely from each spot. We feel we got a comprehensive tour of Manila and really enjoyed our day. We would highly recommend this tour to understand the history of the Philippines.

Excellent half-day tour of Manila

Our tour guide Jonas was punctual and very attentive to us. He clearly loves being a guide for this city and it shows in his enthusiasm and depth of historical knowledge. At every turn there was a new fact or detail to learn; we were never bored! Jonas was happy to customize the tour for us, so that we could experience Chinatown too - we had a few stops for snacks along the way, including fantastic fresh lumpia and fried siopao and of course hopias. Overall a wonderful time and highly recommended!

Best Way To Tour Manila

An amazing experience overall; highly recommended. The best way to tour around Manila. We learnt a lot about the rich history and culture. Big shout out to our tour guide Jezzy, who was very knowledgeable and made the experience memorable. The tour group was very helpful and accommodating as well. Due to a change in travel plans, we had to reschedule our booking and they accommodated us with this seamlessly.
