This is a great option when you first arrive to sample the local foods. Definitely don’t eat before you go there was so much great tasting food. And some history along the way. Nel was a great guide 😎
We were the only ones on the tour, the guide was a little distracted, we were left alone waiting for her to return with food, food choice was good, was only 2.5hrs duration
Fantastic tour! Nel personalized the tour to my dietary preferences and was a wonderful guide. Would book again!
Not sure about all the potential tour guides available for this tour, but if you get Jian—expect to have an amazing experience! Jian was extremely knowledgeable about the food, culture, and history of the Philippines. We have taken “Foodie” tours around the world and Jian ranks among the best…highly recommend!!!
It was an Amazing food tour of Binondo Manila's Oldest Chinatown! Ivan Man Dy was Amazing throughout the whole entire tour! The food throughout the tour at the different places was Amazing as well!
Chloe was fantastic. She provided the perfect mix of history, sight seeing, and if course... food experience.
Nel was a great guide! Good conversation & delicious food, make sure to come hungry! We were full by the end of the tour. Dumplings were our favorite!
Wonderful guide! Full of energy and curiosity! We started the tour 1hr late because our guide was late to the starting location.
Highly recommend this fascinating tour of the world's oldest Chinatown. Lots of yummy food and so much to see in every direction. Our guide, Nel, provided a warm and well informed experience.
The tour was great and way too much food. Guide was knowledgeable and the pace and diversity of food have a good insight into Chinatown
