About local Rodolfo

Rodolfo was great

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

Great food tour with Rodolfo!

We had a wonderful time on our tour with Rodolfo. He was so informative and pleasant - it felt like we were on a food and history tour which was really cool. We would definitely recommend his tour!

A local perspective

Bernadette is incredibly kind, knowledgeable and helpful. She answered all of our questions, helped us navigate transportation and gave us a personal view of Sta Ana. It's an area of Manila we probably would have missed but incredibly grateful to have seen.
