    • A fantastic introduction to Manila, especially as a solo travTteler.

      It was a very nice tour around Manila which I do not think I would have done without this tour. Whilst Grab is possible if you are new to the city/the Philippines and especially if travelling alone then it is good to be part of a tour group. The tour showed me everything I would have wanted to see and was a great introduction to Manila. Like the other reviews additional time could have been used at each site though this could have added on several more hours to the tour so isnt likely faesible. We got to see all the listed sites including Manila cathedral, Intramuros, Fort Santiago, The Cemetry and more. The guides were very friendly and knowledgable and I learned a lot about the Philippines which I would not have known before and am glad to have learned. Our tourguide was also easily spotted wearing a pink shirt which made it easy not to get lost from the tour. The van was comfortable and airconditioned. Cool water bottles were provided and offered during the tour. Thank you for a great trip!

      We were in awe and humbled when visiting the graves at the American Cemetery. The whole tour was fun and informative. Fernando was great.

      Our tour guide is very knowledgeable! Kudos to the team! Maybe you can improve on your tour Van. Maybe a bigger and clean van.

      My husband and I (a gay couple) booked this tour and had a very uncomfortable experience with RJ. Upon picking us up from our hotel, RJ said we couldn't sit together in the van because he was reserving the empty seats next to each other for the next couple he was picking up. When I told him that my husband and I were a couple, he said he was saving the seats for a "male/female couple" and that we still couldn't sit together. It was very bizarre and we were very uncomfortable during the rest of the trip. Besides that, the tour was below average. Most of the tour was spent sitting in the van. RJ randomly talked about things as we drove by, but we could barely see anything from the van. And when we did stop at a location, we were not granted enough time to really enjoy or appreciate the deep cultural or historical significance of each destination. RJ spent more time bragging about the various tours he leads around the world than he did talking about the local history. As a tour guide myself, I would not recommend this tour.

    • Excellent short tour

      RJ the tour guide and Ronnie our driver gave my Singaporean friends an excellent short tour of Metro Manila. Highlighting places even me as a Filipino doesn’t know. Showed them the uniqueness and beauty of Metro Manila. Definitely a recommended tour. Would have done the longer one if we had the time.
