5.00We had so much fun with Mari on our food tour! We booked for our honeymoon and would highly recommend. The dumplings were our favorite of everything we tried! Without Mari, we would’ve missed out on so much local food and history!
A Delicious Dive into Filipino Flavors!

5.00My family did this tour with Tessie. It is exactly the type of thing you want a food tour for - in your own you would quickly get lost, not know what to order, or not know the good spots. Plenty of food, both Filipino and Chinese dishes, Tessie was also flexible about giving different options, and very patient with shopping stops. Thank you for the great experience
Great Time with Mari

5.00This tour was really unique and a true local experience. We had an excellent tour guide, Mari, that knew so much about the country’s history and food. She took us to 6 different spots and explained each of them to us and the food we were about to try. I will say, it is definitely a lot of food, some were actual meals. Most of our group wasn’t able to finish many of the dishes so Mari was very kind and took the leftovers then handed them to children as we were walking. She made the tour fun and adventurous, I would highly recommend this tour on your visit. A small warning though, I think I got a stomach bug from the drinks served on the tour. Although we were told the water was safe to drink, I would recommend sticking to bottled water and avoiding ice as well. Two of the foods came with ice in them so the only way to avoid it is to skip those items. Maybe the tour can modify the stops to exclude those spots or provide a warning to people before trying it.
