Must do tour for exploring Chinatown

5.00An amazing must do tour to experience the oldest Chinatown in the World! Our guide Mari was funny, entertaining, knowledgeable and really made the experience exceptional 🫶. She took great care of us, teaching us local customs and even how to ride a jeepney. We walked all around the streets of Binodo to taste some amazing food, find hidden restaurants and learn about the cultural history of the Chinese peoples in Manila. The dumplings were my favourite of the day! Highly recommend if you want to experience the real Manila.
A delightful tour

5.00Mari was an excellent tour guide. I learned so much about the history of Chinatown in the Philippines. It was a great walk, not too strenuous for a 56-year-old. The food was absolutely phenomenal and very plentiful.
Kind and Smart

5.00Mara was wonderful, she educated us not only on the food but also on the area, culture, and history. My belly is full, my heart is even fuller. She is a wonderful tour guide and wonderful human.

5.00Great experience I’d recommend to anyone visiting Manila and Binondo. It was only because of this tour we were able to explore further than we ever would be able to alone. Pairing good food and history is always great!
Soulful Experience

5.00Mari was very warm, knowledgeable and personalised. I would recommend her any time for not just this one but many others that she shared she has done/does. In fact, hope to come back to do more, with her.
So cool!

5.00Very cool experience! Tessie our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable! I advise booking this because Chinatown is busy and you get overwhelmed with the amount of food options. It’s also helpful to have a local explain stuff that you would never know if you visited alone!
Great dive into local favorites!

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!

5.00Mari is a delight ! Big smile and Filipino warmth the moment you meet her 😀 she takes you into her neighbourhood and shares the local history with great knowledge and charm . She is a true local and the food vendors know her so you get a fantastic insight in how people live and run their businesses. The food was delicious and the company even better . Thank you Mari for a wonderful experience !
