Informative and fun. - The tour was awesome! Our tour guide V is amazing. This tour shouldn’t be missed, its s filled with Manila culture. Tried delicious Filipino snacks, went for a ride on a Jeepney and a Tuk Tuk. We also toured an authentic Filipino neighborhood. Had many great photo ops along the way. I highly recommend booking this tour, you won’t be bored or disappointed. V has a vibrant personality and is so much fun.

Venus was amazing - Booked this tour via Airbnb and it was amazing. I don’t like the touristy stuff so enjoy the real culture stuff. Venus was amazing and made sure to experience each of the local types of transportation. Also, went to a lot of the villages. She also went above and shared her own inspirational story about growing up. An amazing tour and experience. I have a new friend as well. This is a great tour!

Best Tour Guide Host in Manila!❤️🇵🇭☺️ - Our tour experience of Manila with Venus was amazing! We went to the huge local market and had the best fresh street food! We also got to take 3 cool modes of transport the locals use, Tricycle, Jeepy and the new Metro train! We ended the day with a great restaurants with both local & Western food so us parents and kids alike were happy! We definitely recommend taking this tour as we would have never been able to navigate these things easily alone and Venus made it so much fun! YouTube Vloggers: WORLD FAMILY EXPLORERS ☺️❤️🇵🇭

Great exploration of the Hidden side of Manila ! - Tour was great & enjoyable! V was very friendly & interactive. It was amazing to see a different and more local side of Manila and also learn some history about the places. We also got to ride the tricycle and jeepney which was cool & couldn't have done it if it wasn't for this tour. And her offer to take our photos was also really nice. Would recommend. Thanks V!
