3.00The guides were very friendly and helpful and the food was tasty and a good variety. We were however surprised we had to pay separately for all the food. A two hour street walk food tour for AUS $80 seemed a bit high and not good value for money when you needed to pay for every food item.
Deliciously informative

5.00This was a very incredible experience. We had a thorough exposure of the ins and outs of China Town. It has a very rich history and we were able to experience this with an awesome guide. We were able to see the hidden gems that we wouldn't have been able to see on our own

5.00Mari was wonderful! This was by far the best tour we had in the Philippines! She was so much fun! She is very knowledgable about the community and the people. She took us to all the secret local spots. I felt extremely safe and well taken care of by Mari. The food was heavenly. The history she shared was enlightening. It felt like an old friend was showing us her hometown. She even adjusted to our timeframe, even though we asked for a last minute change. Definitely book with Mstar. You will be so happy you did!
