Personalized city tours with local hosts.
Learn about their personal stories, and find out how you can explore Manila together
Spending a couple of days in the bustling metropolis of Manila can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors and those traveling with children. Whenever I visit a new city, I like to use *With Locals* to get my bearings and gain a deeper understanding of both the destination and its people—beyond just the tourist highlights. This time, we were fortunate to find Rodolfo, a kind and knowledgeable guide with a wealth of local insights. One of the restaurants he took us to held a special place in his heart—his mother used to bring him there as a child, though it was originally tucked away in a different alley, which we also got to explore. As we walked through the city, he shared stories from his life over the decades, giving us a richer perspective on Manila’s history and culture. We opted for a combined food and history tour, which proved to be an excellent choice. Rodolfo was incredibly flexible, willing to tailor the experience to our interests and schedule. We could have easily explored more—tasted more, seen more—but after six hours, our children were understandably exhausted. I highly recommend Rodolfo. He made us feel both well-informed and well cared for, and nothing was ever too much trouble. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a great time on our full day tour of Manila with Juliet and our driver Anton. We hit all the highlights and still had time for everything even though i asked her to adjust some things. The traffic was horrible but Anton kept his cool and did a great job negotiating the traffic. And as an extra, unfortunately we got sent to the wrong terminal at the Manila airport but I hit them up real quick on WhatsApp and they turned around, came back and got us to take us to the right terminal. That's above and beyond the call of duty!
