Amazing amount of great street food - There are two things you have to do in order to take this tour first you have to be very hungry and second have some sturdy walking shoes . After our fourth stop, we were totally stuffed. The food was exceptional. Our next seven stops we told our guide we could only try a little from each stop , every stop the food was exceptional. We highly recommend this food tour through Chinatown it was absolutely wonderful.

Great food, great guide and great driver - Make sure when you come on this tour you have to be very hungry because the food is very plentiful and make sure you have sturdy walking shoes . After the first four stops, we were so full we could hardly eat anything else, but the next six stops we just tasted a little bit of each type of food that was served, we love the street food in Manila

Rich Culinary, Cultural Time in Oldest Chinatown - This foodie tour in the oldest Chinatown was a wonderfully rich culinary and cultural experience. My guide, Eddy, did a wonderful job navigating through the entire Chinatown. Not only did we go to the best, renowned food vendors in the heart of Chinatown, but I appreciated the opportunity to wade deep into the bustling gauntlet of seafood, fruit, produce vendors - even solar appliance vendors - that all the locals patronize. It was a great immersive experience on every score. Highly recommended that you start this tour famished. It was wonderful cuisine and sweets that kept on coming all day!

Old Chinatown foodie gems! - We never would have found these restaurants or stands without Seana. It was a brisk-paced walk through the heart of old Chinatown. Which was good to keep up the appetite. You won’t want to eat before this as plenty of food is included in the price. Seana was very knowledgeable about the history of the area (established 1571!), Manila and the Philippines in general with lots of good tips for places to go. The food was delicious! Our driver, John, was safe and efficient in navigating through thick Manila traffic. We appreciated the whole experience!

Great Manila Chinatown Food Experience - We’ve enjoyed great food tours in other cities around the world and this one was no exception! We would never have experienced Chinatown on our own. It is overwhelming. We certainly would never have tried so many different and tasty foods without Seana’s guidance. We highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see Manila from a different perspective.

Good experience - Our guides were very good and tailored our food tastings according to what we wanted to experience. A very good view of Chinatown. I would recommend this trip to others. If you want a different cultural experience, then this is for you.

An insiders peek into the sites and sounds of Manila's Chinatown - Seana and Rency expertly guided our group on more than just a culinary adventure; the experience stirred all of our senses. As we wove our way through the busy streets and markets, we tasted a wide variety of local cuisine whilst observing an almost overwhelming melding of sites and sounds.
My only reason for not giving it 5 was that a few of the places there was nowhere to sit and we had to juggle our food while trying to add sauce, and use chopsticks, which was more than challenging.
With that said, this was a great tour that would be almost impossible to see without the expertise of a local guide and driver. Recommended

So delicious! - We enjoyed this tour! As international visitors who are uncomfortable weaving through the busy streets of Binondo by ourselves, it was very nice to have a guide and share the experience with a group. Our guide was Seana, who knew exactly where to bring us to find the best bites. We would’ve liked to learn a bit more about the background behind each of the foods we had, but overall worth the experience.
