Best experience! - Absolutely enjoyed this tour! We accidentally booked a tour the day before that had some overlap with this tour, but we enjoyed this one significantly more. And we’re not exactly tourists either (we’re from the Philippines but have lived overseas for many years; we did this for fun). In 4 hours, we received loads of historical information about key Manila buildings, infrastructure, and politics. Guide was a perfect mix of funny and informative. Van was very comfortable. Would book again!

Omar the tour guide was the best on this city tour! - Really enjoyed this tour due to one BIG reason: Omar the tour guide! He was the best. Informative, humorous, punctual, and just a real nice all around type guy.
He had great commentary with an expansive depth of knowledge of the sites we went to.
Mthabks, Omar!

Fun half day - Nori and Manny did a great job! The tour was full of information, it was hard not getting out much, but we loved stopping at the market by the church for shopping and food. Nori dropped us off at The Mall of Asia to explore.

Enlightening visual history of Manila - This was an informative and enjoyable tour which spanned Spanish colonial settlement, world war II occupation, independence and the modernisation of Manila. The 4 hour tour in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus actually took over 5 hours with nearly 3 hours spent in heavy traffic. One suggestion to improve pick-up arrangements is to specify pick-up times at various hotels some of which are nearly 45 minutes from where the tour actually starts in new Manila.
