As a seasoned traveler and passionate tour guide, I've had the privilege of exploring the Philippines from north to south, covering the three main islands of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. With extensive knowledge and insider tips, I delight in showcasing the best of Manila and beyond to visitors from around the world.
My greatest joy is creating unforgettable experiences for my guests, sharing the rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking beauty of our country. With a warm and welcoming approach, I take pride in providing personalized and exceptional service to ensure that every traveler feels at home in the Philippines.
Absolutely loved the tour! Extremely well done, great communication, wonderful introduction to the Philippines and Manila. A must do for everyone visiting the city! Thank you so much
Overall, a good experience, though a bit confusing at first. The photo and name on GuruWalk and WhatsApp do not match the actual guide adertised, but Anna—our guide—was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tour starts at the museum inside Lucky Chinatown Mall, where you’ll need to buy your own ticket (around 120 for adults). It begins with a 30-minute crash course on Filipino history, followed by a guided walk through the exhibits covering key events, personalities, traditions, and food. This part was very informative and enjoyable. Anna is a good story teller. Afterward, the tour continues through Chinatown, with stops at local restaurants and food recommendations. However, this section felt too long. The tour was scheduled for 2 hours but lasted about 4 hours. We felt there were too many useless stops in many shops, including extended time inside the mall and market to buy cheap knockoffs/ stuff? The final part included a short local taxi ride (tuk-tuk style) to Intramuros, with visits to St. Augustine Church and the main square with the cathedral and Palacio del Gobernador. Overall, a nice and informative tour with a great guide, but it would benefit from a shorter Chinatown (we teally don’t need to spend that much time inside the mall circling around) segment and better time management.
Anna is truly incredible and goes above and beyond to give a great tour! We learned so much about the Philippines and Manilla, and ate some incredible food.
Thank you very much, Ana, for such an insightful tour around Chinatown. It was a great finishing touch to our trip to the Philippines and we learnt a lot about the history.
Muy buen tour!!
