We loved the spontaneous nature of our food tour. We are both vegetarian and Bernadette helped us to explore Chinatown and find many veggie options. She was friendly and personable and we loved everything we tried.Bernadette was amazing!

Bernadette was late even after pushing the original tour back 2 hours. Lack of information during the food tour and very nonchalant on the recommendations. Nothing seemed planned out beforehand. The food total was likely under $20 USD but the tour cost $70. Not worth it, save your money and book another tour.Lack Luster Food Tour

Bernadette took me through Santa Ana and gave me the chance to see Manila as a local. I loved the experience and learned a lot. She is kind, warm, Knowledgeable, and knows how to make you feel comfortable as you are experiencing Manila. A true learning experience!

Bernadette is a very thoughtful and kind person who crafted an unique experience where travelers might not be able or feel comfortable to visit but get the chance to explore with the local's guide. Enjoyed every moment and absolutely recommend for whoever wants to explore the local culture!Thoughtful

The tour with Bernadette was truly one of the best experiences of my life. It was magical to discover the life in Manila through such beautiful neighbourhoods and communities. And we would have never been able to discover such beautiful locations and people without Bernadette. I would recommend this tour to anyone.Recommended

Het was een prachtige ervaring! Bernadette neemt je mee naar plekken waar je anders nooit zult komen. Ze is vriendelijk en beantwoord je vragen als je die hebt. Ik was maar 1 dag in Manilla en dankzi Bernadette heb ik toch lets van het leven van Manilla kunnen zien. Bernadette zorg er ook voor dat je veilig bent en wacht tot je weer terug in de taxi of ander vervoermiddel bent.1 dag in Manilla

This is exactly the kind of tour I look for on day one in a new city. A strong introduction to the culture and environment. Not much of history on this tour, but more like a current state of affairs. We saw a cool church that perfectly exemplified the juxtaposition of Spanish and Filipino Catholicism, a beautiful graveyard with people and roosters living in it, some varieties of neighborhoods, and more.Great intro
