Very knowledgeable and accommodating
Rodolfo customized our tour to include only certain spots in Manila that I was interested in seeing and to show us around Quezon City, where I was trying to assess the neighborhood of a childhood home I hope to recover. He was accommodating when I accidentally booked the tour for the wrong date. He suggested we hire a car and driver at very reasonable rate and they picked us up at our hotel in QC. He was knowledgeable and was able to alter the tour when it started to rain. Rodolfo was also very good about communicating before the tour date so that we knew our special requests would be accommmodated. Cannot recommend him enough.

A wonderful personal experience!
As first time travellers on a short schedule we really wanted someone who would take care of everything for us. Juliet was wonderful. She ensured we experienced the top spots in Manila, whilst making sure we were comfortable and well cared for. Even the last minute change due to rescheduled flights was no problem. Everything except meals and shopping was all included which made it simple to get around. And our driver Anton was great. Perfectly safe in some crazy traffic! We definitely recommend Juliet to anyone 💜

Just what we needed
We arrived in the Philippines for a few weeks of birding but realized we needed some historic grounding to appreciate where we were. Greg was able to fill in the gap with a few hours chock full of information that helped give our visit historic context as well insight into current day life in the Philippines.

Great tour guide
We enjoyed our time with Rodolfo in Manila. He presents well, gives details when and where needed and always added local flair and insights into the buildings, area and places we visited. He took us into spots the larger tour groups did not get to and managed to get us into the church that was closing for lunch. He’s a charmer. He moved to our pace of walking and we thoroughly enjoyed the day: especially a cold beer after our long walk at the Manila Hotel. Such a wonderful spot. Our Bar server at the Manila Hotel (Andy) was a wonderful host too.
