Joan and Raul gave us a great private tour of Old Manila and Binondo. Raul was an excellent driver. The van was very clean and comfortable. Joan was a wealth of knowledge and had a great personality as well. We really felt that we learned a lot and saw a ton during our tour. Would highly recommend.

My guide Joan was knowledgable, intelligent, a great communicator and very good company. She imparted the information in a conversation rather than a lecture. We covered so much in the tour but it never felt rushed - Rizal, Intramuros, churches, important buildings and architecture, fantastic Spanish merchants house, horse and carriage, Chinatown, all great.

A very informative walk through the old Manilla that was inside the old Spanish fort. From the origins of Manilla to the massacre of innocent by the Japanese, you will not be disappointed.
