"I had the pleasure of being guided by JoemGuider around the historical sights of Manila, and it was an unforgettable experience! He was not only knowledgeable about the history and significance of each site, but also brought the stories to life with his engaging narrative. What impressed me most was his willingness to share insights into the Filipino culture and everyday life, making the experience feel more authentic and personal. JoemGuider truly sets himself apart with his remarkable knowledge of countries and their relations to the Philippines. He amazed me with his ability to recall the national anthems of 78 countries by heart! It was fascinating to see how he connected the dots between different cultures and histories. Throughout the tour, JoemGuider was enthusiastic, passionate, and genuinely interested in sharing his knowledge with me. He created a comfortable and inclusive atmosphere, making me feel like I was exploring the city with a friend. If you're looking for a tour guide who is not only knowledgeable but also passionate and engaging, look no further than JoemGuider. He will bring the history and culture of Manila to life, and leave you with unforgettable memories of your visit."5/5 stars!"

"My beautiful daughters and I had a wonderful food tour with Rodolfo. We explored the many cultural pockets of Manila and ate some wonderful food. Some of our favorites included tuna ceviche, hand pulled noodles, and floral infused ice cream. He was a fabulous tour guide through the city where he grew up. He even showed us some personal landmarks from his childhood as we were walking through town. He gave us an in depth history of the Philippines and told us about the artwork of his late father. Rodolfo, thank you for your hospitality! "
