Free Tours en Manila

Xyza was unwell unfortunately, but she did message as soon as she could. She messaged me with some recommendations even though we couldn't do the tour. I would still do it with her if time allowed!

Nice tour that gives you a sense of Filipino history thru the Mueseum.

The tour had some interesting moments and covered a lot of history, but overall, I felt it could have been more fun and interactive. We ended up spending too much time in a single museum, which made the experience feel a bit slow. I was hoping to hear more about the beauty of Manila and get some local tips, but those were mostly missing. It seemed like the guide was still new and didn’t always know much about Manila’s history or geography, which made some explanations feel uncertain. There were also some logistical issues: the meeting point map was pointing in the wrong direction, and there wasn’t much help for people trying to find the group. Also, the guide decided to give a 20-minute grace period for late arrivals, even though most of us had arrived 10 minutes early, which wasn’t very considerate. Overall, I appreciate the effort, but I think the tour could be improved with more engaging storytelling, better organization, and a stronger focus on what makes Manila special.

Great walking tour. Loved the history in the museum (and the air conditioning). Enjoyed walking through the market too. Great guide!

Thanks Xyza for having that professional guided tour, which provided few blended historical views plus local cuisine recommendations. Btw, I bought that famous Spanish Brandy “Fundador Solera” as introduced in that museum.

Xyza was amazing!! The info she shared was so accurate and clear, and we had fun witu her!

She was very prepared and super nice!

Really good tour! Xyza is very prepared and delivers information in a clear way and in a perfect english! Just be mindful that you will be most of the time in the museum (good as you will be in a fresh place and not in the heat)

Xyza is the best! Highly recommend her!

El museo era el mejor sitio para hacer el tour porque así estás al aire acondicionado y puedes escuchar a Xyza tranquilamente. Ella sabe mucho de la historia de Filipinas y se nota que le apasiona bastante. Luego el mercado donde se acaba el tour es perfecto para probar frutas y bollos filipinos. Tiene un poco de todo este tour y superó mis expectativas. Gracias Xyza!

Xyza was an amazing guide. Communication and meeting points went very smoothly. Not only was she very punctual, but also flexible with her schedule, kind, very knowledgeable and ready to answer questions, and finally interesting as a person. She is very passionate about Philippines’ history, and she was thus able to transmit it in a easy way, providing a solid background context. Moreover, she was also happy to make time to show more of the city. She even brought us at the end of the tour to various local food corners, to try the rich culinary Filipino-Chinese specialties. We really recommend the tour with her, either to do it before or at the end of the trip. It is very enlightening to understand how and why the Philippines’ culture has that many facets. Thank you very much for the tour!

Xyza was a lovely tour guide and shared with us her insightful and interesting knowledge. She showed us around a market where I tasted and fell in love with mangosteen for the first time! A lot of this tour is spent in a museum learning lots about the rich culture and history of the Philippines. So if you’re looking for more sights and sounds of Manila then maybe this tour is not for you.

Very nice tour and presentation. Xyza will contribute to a more intense appreciation of your stay in Manila & Philippines. She is a charming young lady. Her share on the country's history, politics and culture was done with enthousiasme and pertinence. If you are visiting Manila and want to connect with the beautiful energies of this country 🇵🇭 this is a great activity to put in your schedule. Glad I did.

I really enjoyed this tour and it surpassed my expectations, I was a little unsure at the lack of recent reviews but there was a total of seven of us who attended on the day! The tour guide was really knowledgeable and I learnt a lot. I would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Manila. I liked that we were inside most of the time and moving around a lot rather than standing out in the heat and being spoken at!

Sehr gutes Englisch und eine verständliche Art ihre sehr guten Informationen herüberzubringen. Wir haben viel von der Tour mitgenommen. Die Empfehlungen bzgl. Restaurants und ähnliches kamen leider einen Tag zu spät, sodass wir diese nicht mehr nutzen konnten.

Xyza is an outstanding guide—her depth of knowledge and articulate way of expression are truly remarkable.

Very informative and relaxing, it would good to add some backstreet highlights

Muy recomendable!! Una guía buensima

A really enthusiastic guide, which gave us plenty information about the history & current situation in Manila.

Vielen Dank.

Awesome guide

Great tour and hearing the history makes it so much better.

Die Tour mit Xyza war super! Wir haben viel über die Geschichte dieses Landes gelernt, haben spannende Insides erhalten, uns durch das chinesische Viertel geschlemmt. Ich kann die Tour mit der liebenswerten und sehr intelligenten Xyza nur empfehlen. Ein Muss wenn man in Manila ist!

I absolutely loved Xyza’s tour, it was a great introduction to Manila and the Philippines. The overview of the history was great and we tasted some yummy food. Xyza was really accommodating and just a funny, sweet person, and I loved learning more about her experience living in the country and getting a taste of the culture.

Xyza did a great tour. i can recommend. she knows a lot about the history and she is a very nice person.
