Huge thanks to Rodolfo for such an enjoyable and interesting evening. Before the visit, the communication was smooth and efficient and friendly. Quite easy to get organized and arrange the tour. Leading up our meeting all was reconfirmed by Rodolfo. Quite reassuring. We asked to see cockfighting, known as "sabong" in the Philippines, a traditional and popular pastime that involves wagering on fighting roosters. Rodolfo ensured it was a positive experience and shared a lot of knowledge about this activity. After we asked for a tour of Makati’s Poblacion area, with lively nightlife and restaurants. We enjoyed drinks and dinner together and learned a lot about Manila, Philippines’ culture and food. Truly interesting conversation, fun. Highly recommend Rodolfo. Wonderful evening with Rodolfo

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.Very knowledgeable and accommodating

Really enjoyed our food tour with Rodolfo. The various foods we tried were memorable and we definitely saw a side of Manila that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. Frogs legs were lovely as was the Lechon. Rodolfo was very knowledgeable and interesting Rodolfo was great

Wir hatten einen tollen Tag in Manila mit Rodolfo. Angefangen mit einer Sightseeingtour rund um das Fort, durch Museen und Kirchen hat uns Rodolfo viel interessantes über die Geschichte Manilas und der Philippinen erzählt. Er ist auch auf unsere Wünsche und Interessen eingegangen. Anschließend haben wir die street Food Tour durch Chinatown gemacht. Auch hier hat er die besten Restaurant, Shops und marktstände gefunden. Alles in allem ein super Tag mit fast 7 Stunden tollen Eindrücken Tolle Tour

Wer etwas über die Geschichte und die Menschen von Manila, , wer Einblicke in das tägliche Leben und die vielfältige Essenskultur in dieser Stadt haben möchte, der ist bei Rudolfo genau richtig Er hat alles getan damit ich einen unverwechselbaren Tag erlebe. Unglaublich abwechslungsreich, eine tolle Mischung aus Kultur Foodtour. Genau so hatte ich es mir gewünscht. Ein Tag ohne Rodolfo in Manila ist ein verschwendete Tag.Ein toller Tag mit einem großartigen 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. Great tour guide

We were a group of seven. I had done a tour of Intramuros with the flamboyant Carlos Celdran many years ago but this came as a great refresher with new nuggets of information. In spite of his technical background, Rudolfo dug deep into his passion for history and the arts and we were all brought into the world of the tumultuous times of Manila under the Spaniards, Americans and the Japanese. It was a leisurely pace and we did not feel rushed. I had seen a Manila that is often under-appreciated for the exciting mix of cultures. Recommended for those who love history!An educational tour of a pre-indept Manila
