Chinatown Foods - One of the most informative food tours I have been on. Highly recommend this tour interested in sampling foods in the historic Chinatown. Hope you get to sample the dumplings. It is not too far a walk but comfortable shoes are recommended.

Must-do Tour while in Manila - I did a food tour with Chloe and honestly it was my favorite experience that I had while in the Philippines! Her and her trainee did an amazing job walking me through the streets of Chinatown explaining the food, history, culture and everyday life in the Philippines. I never would have found all the cool eateries Chloe took me to on my own and everything I tried was delicious and a nice variety. A lot of people say to spend minimal time in Manila, but I disagree. Experiences like this tour make it worth it to spend a few days and soak in the local culture while learning something new. 10/10 recommend this tour and definitely come hungry!

A great experience - The Chinatown food walking tour was a very good way to explore Manila's back streets to experience food that the average tourist will never see. Our guide Chloe did a great job providing a history of the area and food.
