5.00Wow! Mari was SO wonderful and taught us about the history of Chinatown, The Chinese, The Spaniards, The Filipinos and The Americans. All the wonderful foods that she introduced us to were amazing, and she was able to get the food to us right away so that we could skip the line… That part was super cool. My wife and I considered just going down to Chinatown and walking around and looking at the sites, we are so very happy that we did it this way instead because it became so much more alive and we were able to be a lot more informed about what we were actually looking at. Great job Mari!!
Oldest Chinatown that is worth a visit

5.00Very individual. Thorough and I would highly recommend it to others. The host was very knowledgeable and informative this tour
Interesting and nice tour but not great value for money.

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 an amazing and educational tour for us. Mari, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and exposed to a lot of architecture and amazing food. We got our steps in and learned a lot. She kept the tour lively, and it was interactive. It should be one of your must dos in Manila
Amazing

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
