About local Marie Jane
Great tour guide

Jane was very good at explaining all the food and the history of the area. We had so much food we couldn’t even eat the last few places!

Sandy
About local Jhon Mar
An excellent afternoon

Jhon Mar is an excellent guide. We thoroughly enjoyed his tour of the Quiapo district. He was very knowledgeable and gracious with his time. He was responsive to our questions. We highly recommend Jhon.
