Free tours a Manila

Great historical perspective

Xyza, explained all about Manila as well about Chinayown where we were walking. The history of Manila was detailrd and told in a lively way. Very good start for seeing the city more and talking the learned history with during further exploring the city. Recommand this tour very much!

Great introductory tour to Manila and the Philippines. Recommend to do it at the beginning of a trip.

Xyza’s style of storytelling was awesome, I was completely involved in the tour.

Great tour, really enjoyed. Xyza is very knowledgeable and passionate!

I'd highly recommend this tour! A lot of interesting historical, but also cultural information about the Philippines and the people. You'll get a glimpse into the life on the island, everyone should learn something about this place besides the beautiful beaches.

Xyza lead our walking tour and my wife and I had a great experience and learnt so much about Philippine history and culture. We were so fortunate to go on this tour on our first full day in Manila and at the start of our 2 week trip. My wholehearted recommendation to go on this tour with such a passionate and well spoken guide.

Amazing, very knowledgeable and entertaining 👏

This is a great tour to learn about the history of Philippines.

An amazing tour. Xyza was so incredible at explaining everything. We loved her tour.

She was extremely knowledgeable; we were given a well rounded history of Manila and how it came to be. We were impressed with her ability to share the history in an intriguing way. We enjoyed hearing added information while visiting the various exhibits in the museum and the other areas. Xyza interacted comfortably with all of us and answered any questions we had. Bonus—we left with some recommended spots to visit later on! 100% would recommend her walking tour!

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Xyza

Xyza was an amazing guide. She gave interesting and relevant insights to the culture and history of the country and the city. Helped me understand much more. Most of the time we‘ve spent in a museum so not that much walking or exploring of Manila, which was fine though.

Xyza hat uns sehr viel Infos ueber Geschichte des Landes gegeben

Xyza is very knowledgable about the history in the areas, we went to the China Philippine museum and had a short walk in the chinatown area. As a local, Xyza gives a perspective about the ideology of Philippines in terms of colonisation, relationships with America, Japan, and of course how those cultural impact their daily life. The tour had enhanced my understanding of the local communities which you can not easily read from books, or gain from the touristic tours.

So nice and interesting! Absolutely recommended :)

Xyza is passionate and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended tour!

I've taken many tours and I really loved this one; she has an excellent voice and it's quite entertaining.

The experience of walking tour was amazing. The guide Xyza was absolutely brilliant. Her knowledge about the history of Philippine, culture and food was very helpful to understand more about the Country. Thank you Xyza, wishing you all the best for a merry Christmas and happy New Year 2026.

Xyza war ein super Guide und hat uns sehr viel über die Kultur und Geschichte der Phillipinen vermittelt. Außerdem haben wir einen Markt, ein großes Warehouse mit Lunch, diverse Läden mit Spezialitäten und die Binondo Kirche gesehen. Wir waren mit 4 Personen plus Guide in der Gruppe und haben eine fast 4 Stunden Tour mit Lunch gehabt. Großartiges Erlebnis.

Very knowledgeable and welcoming!

XYZU put on a great tour. We had taken another tour the day before with another company and figured it would be close to the same. We were surprised that it was much different. We started out in the Chinatown museum and she explained the history of the Philippines while holding up demos of objects inside the museum. She then walked us around and had us sample different foods of their culture while walking the streets seeing it live. From there she further explained history and culture. At the end she directed us to various areas depending on what are interest and time allowed. Guru walks always seem very good to us and this one was especially good. Xyzu was very knowledgeable and energetic. She also knew very good English so we could fully understand what she was say. 10+ tour.

What a wonderful tour encompassing a thorough history of the Philippines, and great insights to the best eats in Chinatown!

She was a great tour guide. Very nice indeed, very friendly, very passionate about the history of Philippines and very warmth. The tour was a great opportunity to connect the dots about the history of Filipinos and her recommendations were just great!

A very good overview of Phillipines history and culture. A good visit to the museum and tour of Chinatown with sampling of some eats. Clear easy to understand and enthusuastic guide
