    We do similar tours everywhere we go in the world and thought this tour was very expensive for the experience that we received. There were only 3 main stops on the tour (Casa Manila Museum, San Augustin Church and Fort Santiago) and it was over very quickly. Our guide Jerome was a kind enough gentlemen, however he seemed quite quiet and we had to try and keep the conversation going to find out more about the places we were visiting. Granted, the tour will be more suitable for a larger group (my wife and I were the only people on the tour for that day). Overall, we thought we could have gotten a better experience with a free walking tour.

  • Delightful tour of Spanish Msnila

    Jerome was magnificent! I wanted to learn about the Spanish settlement of Manila. I learned more than I expected and found Jerome to be a very knowledgeable guide! I was by myself and found the tour tailored to my interests!

    I had an exceptional day tour with Jian! His expertise in Philippine history, Spanish influence, and Filipino resilience made the experience captivating. We visited the historic San Agustin Museum and Church, Casa Manila, a monument constructed as a tribute to World War II casualties, Manila Cathedral, and Fort Santiago. Jian's outstanding knowledge and attentive nature added to the enriching tour!
