I enjoyed the cultural experience of the dancers. They were good. The food was not that terrific. Most of it was cold or lukewarm at best. There was not a big variety of foods. Very pedestrian. Not a lot of different foods from Manila.

When booking this tour, I thought it was an event that you go to and experience the Filipino culture. However, that's not the case. It was a restaurant that provides this cultural dance and it includes food. If you can book directly at the restaurant, that will save you lots of money. Because booking through this medium is too expensive and all the service they provide is transportation and booking the table at the restaurant. However, Barbara's restaurant is a must do if you are in Manila.

Good food, great show, nice venue. The restaurant was inside Intramuros and had an antique ornate flare to it. The show had its own musicians with guitars and bandurias , and they also worked the brass gongs during the Sinkil dance. Great experience overall!

We wanted to revisit our cultural heritage. This tour made our trip more meaningful. Retelling the history was a good thing to know again. The cultural dances are very entertaining. The food was great! Overall was an unforgettable experience and especially to our 94 year old mother, who they sang Happy Birthday. Thank you for a tour like this. We were tourists as we now live in California.

What a fun evening, started with my amazing tour guide Malou, she was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Had a fantastic Filipino meal, options great and oh so yummy. Show was great, musicians & dancers very professional; costumes colorful. Prior to show, a trio performed, musically & vocals, extremely good. I came away with a full stomach, and enriched with the performances; oh what a night.

This show was better many years ago when I first saw it. Their should be a podium so also persons in the back can see the dances properly. Er should be a narrative which dances are from which region.
