Traveler Reviews

This was a great tour, very informative and the tour guide was excellent. Yes, it felt a little rushed, however I do expect that on these short tours which are more of a taster. I do wish we had more time at Fort Santiago to explore 'solo'. There was just so much to see and I would have loved the opportunity to wander on my own for a little bit. The reason this review is 3 stars is that on our tour we did not visit San Agustin Church. I understand the traffic was shocking on a Saturday afternoon, however, I was sitting in the van fully expecting to go there, when the next minute I am back at my hotel with no warning or checking if it was okay to skip this part. I was bitterly disappointed as this was my only free day in Manila and there was no opportunity for me to visit on my own. Would suggest you market this tour as 4-5 hours to allow for the traffic situation and to avoid disappointment. Nevertheless, what I did see was excellent & I found it very informative.

What was supposed to be a group tour became a private tour as CoViD19 drove away tourists. Lucky for us as we had Malou, the guide & Ronnie, the driver to ourselves in a Toyota HiAce ac Van as they brought us around Manila, Makati, Pasay, BGC & Intramuros.

Good tour very informative. Took us to the best view in Intramuros. The guide takes good pictures. I highly recommend this tour.

I had the opportunity to see the main attractions of Manila, the tour is very informative and I would recommend anyone to book with Viator. The highlight of the tour was the guide , he was well informed as well as professional and very talkative. He was able to give me information about the country as well as the city of Manila. Thanks you so much !!!
