Great experience in Manila! - Hey, if you are checking out the real Manila and the Filipino way of life, you need to ask for Floyd! Great guy who is super informative. He knows Manila through and through he has abundant knowledge about the hidden gems of this city. He is proud of the heritage not only the good parts but knows how important it is for others to understand the Philipino history, the growth of the culture and how small changes can make big differences. Floyd was true to his city he paid homage to every part. Excellent tour!! Thanks Floyd!

The BEST Way to See the Real Manila – Ask for Floyd! - If you’re looking for a meaningful, fun, and eye-opening way to experience the real Manila, this Hidden Gems tour is an absolute must—and Floyd made it unforgettable! From the moment the tour started, Floyd’s energy, humor, and passion for his city shined through. He didn’t just show us around—he brought Manila to life with stories, history, and heart. What stood out most was Floyd’s incredible personality. He was warm, genuine, and so easy to connect with. By the end of the day, I didn’t just feel like I had a guide—I felt like I had made a new friend. Floyd showed us parts of the city that many tourists miss, and it gave me a deeper appreciation for the strength, beauty, and joy of the people here. This tour was the highlight of my time in Manila. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to go beyond the usual sights and truly connect with the soul of the city. Thank you, Floyd—you’re the best!

Fun Tour w Venus - Good tour w Venus. Great way to explore parts of Manila you wouldn’t find on your own. You also get to ride on 3 different types of public transport: jeepney, trike and tuk tuk!

Great Exploration of Non-Touristy Sections of Manila - Venus was an outstanding guide! Exactly as the tour description said, she helped us explore the hidden, non-touristy, and interesting parts of Manila. She is knowledgeable and very personable. I highly recommended this tour…and definitely try to get Venus as your guide!

A Must Do For First Visitors to Manila - A great experience to immerse yourself into the life and atmosphere of the every day Filipino. It doesn’t get more realistic and Venus does a superb job of guiding through the neighborhood, markets and hustle and bustle of downtown. If it’s your first time to Manila I highly recommend this tour, you won’t be disappointed and Venus, your guide is professional, knowledgeable and understanding!

Best tour of our Manila trip - Our favourite tour that we took in Manila. We loved our walk through the hidden backstreets. The locals were friendly and welcoming. The variety of local transport made the tour fun. We enjoyed the tuk tuk ride through the market area . We finished off with a visit to Chinatown and some pork buns. Venus is an enthusiastic and engaging guide.

Hidden Gems - I booked this tour, and was looking forward to it, but did not take the tour, was to try-out from the Chinatown tour with the rain. I rated the tour average because I had to place something there to submit the review.
