A nice walk through the first Chinatown with an amazing tour guide and delicious food. - This was an amazing and educational tour for us. Mari, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and exposed to a lot of architecture and amazing food. We got our steps in and learned a lot. She kept the tour lively, and it was interactive. It should be one of your must dos in Manila

Amazing - This was a very incredible experience. We had a thorough exposure of the ins and outs of China Town. It has a very rich history and we were able to experience this with an awesome guide. We were able to see the hidden gems that we wouldn't have been able to see on our own

Philippines China town food tour - My friend and I had a lot of fun and ate some really good food. We got some good insight of the history and different foods of the Philippines. The tour guide Mari explained it quite well, both the history and what we were eating. I highly recommend this tour.

Best tour guide you will find! - Mari was wonderful! This was by far the best tour we had in the Philippines! She was so much fun! She is very knowledgable about the community and the people. She took us to all the secret local spots. I felt extremely safe and well taken care of by Mari. The food was heavenly. The history she shared was enlightening. It felt like an old friend was showing us her hometown. She even adjusted to our timeframe, even though we asked for a last minute change. Definitely book with Mstar. You will be so happy you did!

Yummy - Mari is a wonderful guide with lots of local knowledge. The dumplings were amazing! We enjoyed our too-short tour of Chinatown.

Amazing Chinatown Food Tour - We lucked out and got a private tour all to ourselves! Mari was very knowledgeable, gracious and full of energy and joy. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour, as she knows all the best spots for a unique food-tripping around Chinatown! We wanted to ride the local jeepney, so Mari indulged by taking one on the way back to our starting point - so much fun! Highly recommend!

You can't go wrong with Mari - Mari was so knowledgeable and friendly. She was so great and attentive to our 4 year old. She is also happy to accommodate requests along the way as she helped us pick and get the best price for some dragon fruit ( which my daughter loves but is hard to get back home). This was a great tour with even better food tastings

Interesting and nice tour but not great value for money. - The guides were very friendly and helpful and the food was tasty and a good variety. We were however surprised we had to pay separately for all the food. A two hour street walk food tour for AUS $80 seemed a bit high and not good value for money when you needed to pay for every food item.
