Mary was an absolute joy with—talkative, outgoing, and incredibly friendly. The whole experience was fun, and genuinely enjoyable. She guided me through some amazing local food spots in Cebu—places I never would’ve found on my own and that offered truly authentic dishes. Even though I don’t eat pork , Mary was extremely thoughtful and flexible. She made sure I still got the full foodie experience without compromising my dietary needs. Thanks to Mary, I discovered a whole new side of Cebu’s food culture. Her passion, knowledge, and warm personality turned this tour into one of the highlights of my trip. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for more than just a food tour—Mary gives you a real, memorable experience.

My friend and I had a fantastic, tailored tour with Jae. We started the tour with some sites in Cebu and we were taken to different streets that we would never have been able to find on our own. The food tasting was also amazing. Jae is incredibly friendly and professional; it’s clear she really loves her job and she went above and beyond. I wish we had a Jae in every place we visit! Would 100% recommend- you’ll have a great time

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My beautiful daughters and I had a wonderful food tour with Rodolfo. We explored the many cultural pockets of Manila and ate some wonderful food. Some of our favorites included tuna ceviche, hand pulled noodles, and floral infused ice cream. He was a fabulous tour guide through the city where he grew up. He even showed us some personal landmarks from his childhood as we were walking through town. He gave us an in depth history of the Philippines and told us about the artwork of his late father. Rodolfo, thank you for your hospitality!
