Great Way to Experience Manila

5.00June was a very professional guide who gave us an amazing tour. He tailored it to our desires and made Manila come alive for us. We appreciated his flexibility and knowledge of the city.
We didn’t really receive...

4.00We didn’t really receive a satisfactory explanation as to why the car couldn’t have picked us up directly at the cruise terminal rather than the rather long one walk to the outside gate. It was able to drop us off later at the terminal. The confusion arising from the lack of clear directions to the pick up place led to a frustrating hour’s delay to our excursion. After that the trip was excellent with Suzette being an excellent and informative guide of Manila and Don a very competent and careful driver. A particular highlight of the morning was a moving visit to the American cemetery for the fallen in the Pacific War, a tranquil and beautifully maintained location away from the bustle of the very large metropolis.
Very good tour but 4 hours max

4.00We were very happy about our experience we made with the guide - Suzette who has good knowledge about the history of Philippines but at the same time is not overloading guests with the details. At the same time, I think it is unfair from the tour operator to advertise the tour to take 8 hours as it creates impression that you will be shown more than by the competitors. As a couple with average physical condition, break for coffee, restrooms etc. we ended up in our hotel after 4,5 hours.
A Great Day in Manila

5.00Pick up at the cruise terminal gate was fairly straightforward. Glenn was our tour guide for the day & he made sure we got to see all the sights. We learned so much about the history of the Philippines & the impact Jose Rizal made on the country. Jericho was our driver & he did a great job navigating the traffic which was an absolute nightmare. Our first stop was the American cemetery, which took quite some time to get to because of the traffic, then we made our way back into the city & walked around Rizal Park before heading to our walking tour of intramuros. The guys had us back to the Port in plenty of time. It was a great day but travellers must be patient with the traffic. It's the worst we've ever seen!
Mabuhay!

5.00Our guide and driver arrived right on time at our hotel. Despite unusual traffic in Manila, due to a religious event that drew 8 million Catholics downtown, they found an alternative route for our tour. Suzette was a true gift to us as she shared her deep knowledge of each site, the Philippines and the Metro Manila area. She and Don were very accommodating and watchful for our needs. I would recommend them to anyone who wants an English tour in Manila. Mabuhay!
Best private guide of Manilla

5.00My friend and I travelled to Manilla in March 25. We arrived by cruise ship and we were looking for a private guide for the day. After some research I booked this tour and I am so glad we did. Right from the start we had constant dialogue with Leila who organised everything for us including pictures of where we were to meet our guide and driver and of course pictures of them also. On the day we had Jun looking after us with another guide, driving us from place to place. At each destination Jun was informative, patient and spoke excellent English. As there were several cruise ships in town that day, there were hundreds of people visiting the same places we were BUT as we had disembarked the boat half an hour beforehand and as we had a private vehicle we were able to visit each place of interest a good 30-45 minutes before crowds arrived, which of course made a big difference. We could then just jump back in the car and whizz along to the next place or walk there and the car followed. All through our day, Jun looked after us so well and made us feel very safe.Unbeknown to us he took snap shots of us all day and then sent them to us at the end of the tour. They are in fact some of the best pictures I have of my vacation! I highly recommend this company and this was an excellent tour. Book with confidence.
A great day in Manila

5.00Great way to see the highlights of Manila in one day. Intramuros tour was great, history is fascinating. Tour guide and driver were extremely helpful, informative and very flexible. Also took us at our request to a really authentic Filipino restaurant. And a nice drive through Chinatown. Thanks June and Don!

5.00Our guide Glenn is one of the best! Early in the morning we were informed our guide has arrived at our hotel and will be ready whenever we’re ready. The whole time Glenn kept us informed about the history in Manila and the life of the people. Glenn is very knowledgeable and energetic. I highly recommend him for your guide in Manila.
