Rodolfo is the man
"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."

Great Shore Excursion Tour with Rodolfo
"Great city tour with Rodolfo. He picked us up from the cruise port and showed us the important sites of Manila. We adjusted the itinerary a bit as some of our travelers wanted to go shopping. He knew the perfect place to take us. Before we returned to our ship, we enjoyed a brief tasting tour of some of the Manila Street foods. Highly recommended, very knowledgeable and wonderful guide. Thank you so much Rodolfo! "

Thank you!
"Thank you for a fantastic tour of Intramuros. Rodolfo tailored the tour to our group and was very accommodating. He provided us with a useful historical overview and had taken his time to research information and activities that he thought would be of interest to us. He went above and beyond what would be expected. Thank you. Charlotte"

Extraordinary Guide- A MUST HIRE
"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. "

Taal volcano : a must see
"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."
