Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Juliet took us on a wonderful tour of Manila. She was well versed in the history and culture of the city. She moved at our pace and was very flexible as to what we wanted to see and do. We would highly recommend Juliet!"
"As first time travellers on a short schedule we really wanted someone who would take care of everything for us. Juliet was wonderful. She ensured we experienced the top spots in Manila, whilst making sure we were comfortable and well cared for. Even the last minute change due to rescheduled flights was no problem. Everything except meals and shopping was all included which made it simple to get around. And our driver Anton was great. Perfectly safe in some crazy traffic! We definitely recommend Juliet to anyone 💜"
"We had a great time on our full day tour of Manila with Juliet and our driver Anton. We hit all the highlights and still had time for everything even though i asked her to adjust some things. The traffic was horrible but Anton kept his cool and did a great job negotiating the traffic. And as an extra, unfortunately we got sent to the wrong terminal at the Manila airport but I hit them up real quick on WhatsApp and they turned around, came back and got us to take us to the right terminal. That's above and beyond the call of duty! "
"Juliet was absolutely excellent! She and the driver, Anton, arrived as specified at my hotel. The vehicle was excellent, comfortable and cool, Juliet followed the advertised itinerary and adapted based on reality (one of the venues was closed) and my preferences. The information she provided was thorough and very informative. We ended up seeing even more than was discussed in the itinerary which was most appreciated and provided me with an even broader insight into the city. I would highly recommend Juliet for this manila tour!"
"We had a 13 hour layover in Manila and Juliet met us at the airport at 7 AM with her driver Anton (we actually landed at 5:30 AM but left ourselves 90 minutes to deplane, clear customs, change money, and have a coffee). They packed a lot of great educational information into 8 hours before dropping us off at the airport at 3 PM. Rizal Park and IntraMuras were both highlights. We had a delicious lunch of traditional Philippine BBQ, and were thoroughly impressed with the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial, both the beautiful setting and quality of the video and displays. Juliet did a fabulous job of giving us a taste of the Philippines in 8 hours, it was a great day."
"Juliet is very knowledgeable, passionate, personable & organized tour guide in Manila. She is very diverse in her knowledge from history, culture, people, government & food. She speaks excellent English clearly. She is such a gem who truly goes over & beyond for his clients with an experience you won’t forget. She has an amazing driver Derek who is very safe in the crazy Manila traffic with new air-conditioned vehicle. You feel like family after a few short minutes with her & honestly at end it was hard to say good-bye. She can do any tour in & around Manila which is amazing as she will tailor it to your desires & needs. She is great with a flexible schedule & works with your schedule to provide the best experience you can have while in Manila exploring it. She provides beyond exceptional service for the price she charges as she is beyond worth it plus more. She is hands down the best in Manila & a must hire. I have exceptionally high expectations as Juliet exceeding them which is hard to do along with her driver Derek. "
"Should you only do one tour while you are in Manila, then it has to be that one ! It is really amazing. Juliet will start the tour with some views of the volcano island before driving you near the lake where a boat will bring you to the island. From there, you can decide to walk or take a horse (at your own expenses) to the top. I would recommend to do as i did a horse back riding unless you are 100% fit as the path leading to the top (same for humans or horses) is a bit difficult on the last quarter. From the top, the view on the volcano inside lake is just amazing. A must see tour."
"An experience to do. I never did rafting before and found it quite thrilling when passing through those little rapids"
"I was unlucky to make this tour at the time a typhoon was touching Manila area. That means lot of rain and violent winds. However, Juliet manage to make the best of it under those difficult circumstances. Not only we made what was planned to be seen but Juliet manage to add a couple of things to it as a visit to a casino and the american cemetery. Manila may not be the most well known capital in the world but i would however recommand the city tour to have an idea of the city rich history."
"Juliet made our experience truly unforgettable. She was not only very pleasant to deal with but also more than helpful. I really recommend her as a tour guide."
