Recommend Food Tour - Jian and Nel were amazing guides. Jian is full of knowledge, fun facts, and amazing suggestions. There is a lot of food to sample, we sampled half the order at each stop and we were still stuffed by the end. All of the food, at each stop, was freshly made and absolutely delicious. If you get the option to try the pigeon, we recommend you give it a try. We ordered one pigeon and shared it amongst 7 people.

Dim sum tour with Chloe - The tour was superbly organized and very well paced. Chloe provided a lively commentary not just about the food, but also about the history and about the residents of Binondo, the world’s oldest China town. Every single item that we sampled was great. And there was A LOT of food to sample. None of the three people in our group was able to finish everything, but Chloe helped us get the leftovers from several different places carefully wrapped to take to the hotel. With the tour ending around 4 pm, I was stuffed to the gills, but those leftovers served as an excellent midnight snack.

A very tasty tour. - We had a fabulous food tour with Rian. He not only takes you to taste a big variety of foods in various China Town restaurants but also gives you lots of history of China Town and Manila. Very knowledgeable and personable gentleman with amazing English.

Must do in Manila - Jian was a fantastic, knowledgeable guide. His enthusiasm was unwavering as he took the group through Chinatown with delicious food that we would never have discovered without him. He also accommodated all dietary requirements, going out of his way to make sure people could sample everything. Highly recommend

A Chinatown Feast - This tour has a 5 star rating for a reason! I ended up being the only person on my Manila Chinatown food tour, but the guide Chloe made it feel like I was being taken around by a local friend. All of the stops are well thought out and feature hole in the wall spots that I wouldn’t have ever visited if not for this tour. Definitely book this tour and be sure to come hungry!

Delicious food and great guide! - This tour was one of the best food tours I've done in SE Asia - Chloe is super knowledgeable about the origins and history of the different dishes we tried and establishments we visited. The tour included a wide variety of dishes and snacks to try and it was really fun to explore Chinatown, finding both popular/well-known spots and those that were a bit more tucked away. Definitely recommend this tour for solo or family travelers!
