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

Amazing, personalised food tour in China Town! - We had an amazing time during the food tour in China Town with Mari! Mari has a super energetic and bubbly personality and really thought of everything. She gave us a nice mix of the history of the place as well as all the best local food! It was highly personalised and she really showed us some hidden gems. It is very clear she has a passion for what she does and it is one of our favorite memories in Manila! Can highly recommend Mari 🙂

Fact finding tour - I thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Mari. She met me on time in the Grand Cafe which is a wonderful venue. I recommend going early for a coffee before the tour. Mari is very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions you may have. The food was delicious. I very much recommend this tour.

Mstar Tours - Chinatown (Binondo) - Mari is a hard working, personable and fun tour guide! She took us to some great food spots and taught us about the history of the area. In addition, she shared her knowledge of Filipino culture, which I found very interesting. She took some great photos and made sure the group was well looked after. I would highly recommend Mari's tours to anyone visiting the Philippines!
