"Joe was a wonderful guide. He is knowledgeable, fun, and very easy to get on with. "

"Joem met us right on time and expertly guided us through Chinatown and the surrounding area. With his guidance we tried many local foods we would not have known to order. As a bonus, afterwards he took us on a jeepney ride to near Rizal Park then gave us a great tour of the park (and Manila history) before escorting us right back to our ship! He also sings! A truly wonderful experience. "

"Joemarie is an amazing guide! Very knowledgeable, fun and positive. We have enjoyed our walking history + food tour a lot. Visited many interesting and important spots and tried the best local street food. Joemarie is a great guide and a person. We are still impressed by his knowledge of polish national anthem :)"

"Rodolfo was the perfect guide. His knowledge of the history and culture of the Philippines is extensive, and his graciousness, kindness, and generosity were touching. He had excellent communication with us before and after the tour, and easily accommodated the vegetarian of our family group. He even stayed with us until our ride share picked us up!"

"We booked a 3 hour food tour with Rodolfo for myself and my wife. He went above and beyond taking us first to Binondo Church and the back alleys of Binondo for food sampling - everything we sampled was delicious and we were so full after the tour. Rodolfo even bought us some fruits and snacks to take home with us. We then explored Escolata street and the historic buildings in the area. Our tour ended with a jeepney ride back to Makati as a special request we made. Rodolfo was very knowledgeable of the history and places we visited - we had a very memorable afternoon on our tour and would highly recommend booking a tour with him!"

"Our family of 5 - grandparents, mom and 2 grown kids spent a fun filled day eating through Binondo and Quiapo with Joem. We learned about the history of migration from all over southeast and Eastern Asia and its influence on the food and culture of the Philippines. He customized the tour so that we could walk throughQuiapo where grandpa spent his early childhood and then to a modern mall in Hinatown so that the kids could experience a really yummy Hal halo. Thank you Joem for a really great day."

"Spending a couple of days in the bustling metropolis of Manila can feel overwhelming, especially for first-time visitors and those traveling with children. Whenever I visit a new city, I like to use *With Locals* to get my bearings and gain a deeper understanding of both the destination and its people—beyond just the tourist highlights. This time, we were fortunate to find Rodolfo, a kind and knowledgeable guide with a wealth of local insights. One of the restaurants he took us to held a special place in his heart—his mother used to bring him there as a child, though it was originally tucked away in a different alley, which we also got to explore. As we walked through the city, he shared stories from his life over the decades, giving us a richer perspective on Manila’s history and culture. We opted for a combined food and history tour, which proved to be an excellent choice. Rodolfo was incredibly flexible, willing to tailor the experience to our interests and schedule. We could have easily explored more—tasted more, seen more—but after six hours, our children were understandably exhausted. I highly recommend Rodolfo. He made us feel both well-informed and well cared for, and nothing was ever too much trouble. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"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! "

"Ray and I both found Rodolfo to be friendly, informative and very responsive to our needs and interests. He helped us to understand some of the country’s history and how it connected with the food we are. We would highly recommend him as a guide "

"My family members are happy with the way Rodolfo touring us around with different mode of transportation eg. Pasig River view by ferry from Guadalupe to Escolta, Jeepney, Tuktuk and tricycle rides. Recommended us for Intramuros tour by riding on Kalesa. Also good suggestion on visiting Bahay Tsinoy, Casa Manila, St Augustin Church and Fort Santiago. It's really a great informative culture and history tour experience. I strongly recommend this tour with Rodolfo for his flexibility in accommodating this tour to suit our interest. Thanks Rodolfo for making this tour a fruitful experience."
