      Fun tour around old Manila
      Mari was a wonderful tour guide to take us around Diversoria. We walked around the area and I’m glad we had her as a guide because you can easily get lost in the network of street markets. We rode in a Jeepney and tuktuk which are an experience in itself - I’ve always wanted to ride in them but have no idea how to use or hail them. So much fun! This tour has you experiencing a different side of Manila. Mari was super friendly, not just to us but the people around the area love her as this area is where she grew up. Sampling some of the street food is an option but we didn’t indulge except for the dessert (bibingka) at the end. I highly recommend this tour. Mari was like my sister from another mister! You will have fun with her.

      Highly recommended tour guide!
      Great tour to attend if in the Philippines! Mari is very energetic, knowledgeable, and meets the customers needs. She also works with local vendors allowing us to sample foods and drinks without having to wait in line and utilizing local methods to get us from place to place allowing us to experience parts of the Philippines that we would've possibly not noticed if were on a bus/van.

      Excellent tour with friendly guide.
      Mari provides an excellent tour and is good company and very easy going. We went to four bars, each different. There was no rush and we were able to drink and/or eat in each.

      Family Adventure with Our Amazing Guide Mari
      Thank you Mari for being our wonderful guide today! Our family adventure started from Manila to the heritage sites, followed by an unforgettable boat ride around Taal Volcano. The experience of sailing through the waves was incredible, and we got to see the newly formed crater and submerged villages. For lunch, Mari recommended local seafood and bulalo (beef bone soup) which were unique. We also tried local cacao drinks that our whole family loved. In the afternoon, we visited the glass museum where we enjoyed panoramic views of the volcanic lake and admired beautiful artworks. Throughout the journey, Mari patiently shared detailed historical and cultural insights and taught our children some local phrases. She made the experience truly educational and enjoyable for our kids. What a fantastic day of exploration and learning!

      If you want to see the “real” Filipino lifestyle, take this tour!
      We like to do tours with local guides when we travel. This is the most authentic “Hidden Gems” tour we’ve been on. Mari is very knowledgeable about the experiences on this tour, as she grew up in the area. In fact, you may meet some of her relatives as you wander through the alleyways on your tour. It was very interesting to learn about the daily lives of people in Tondo and it was exciting to ride a Jeepney and a “Lamborghini” tricycle! This was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Manila!

      Fun and informative
      The walking tour was great. Mari was kind, respectful, knowledgeable and fun. She took me on a great tour of four key locations after giving me a fascinating overview of the history of the Philippines and its people. The time flew by and it didn’t seem like much walking even thing we saw everything. One fun aspect was we took a little rickshaw type transport through some of the streets in the Intramuros which meant we saw more of the area.

      Great day in Tondo with Mari
      Absolutely recommend this tour, we really enjoyed our day in Tondo. Mari was the perfect guide, friendly, funny and knowledgable. We visited places we would never go by ourselfs and learned about life of people of Tondo. We lived the Jeepnie and Lamborgini ride as well.

      The Manila you must experience!
      TL;DR version: Book this tour, it will be the best part of your visit to Philippines. Such an amazing experience with an amazing host, and meet some amazing people along the way. Mari is a great ambassador for not only Manila, but all Philippines. I must note how gracious and understanding she is as well. I booked two tours with her, but accidentally booked the hidden gems tour on the incorrect date. Even after waiting for me on the incorrect day I booked, not only was she understanding of my mistake, she even suggested combining both the hidden gems tour and the night market tours on the same day to make it more convenient and cohesive for us all. I cannot express how grateful I am to Mari! The residents of Tondo Manila are so warm and welcoming, and allowed me the humbling experience to play candy Santa to the kids. Jeepney rides, navigating the street markets, learning about the history of the area, interacting with the real locals, learning just how connected we all are, it's almost spiritual and experience. Just book it!

      The Manila that you don’t expect.
      We had the opportunity to visit some hidden places that you will not experience in any other tour. We tried all local transports, meet so many local people who welcome us to their places. We tried some typical food and visit the biggest market in Manila. Mari, the tour guide is a real star! I will never forget this experience and Mari.

      A nice walk through the first Chinatown with an amazing tour guide and delicious food.
      This was an amazing and educational tour for us. Mari, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and exposed to a lot of architecture and amazing food. We got our steps in and learned a lot. She kept the tour lively, and it was interactive. It should be one of your must dos in Manila

      Amazing
      This was a very incredible experience. We had a thorough exposure of the ins and outs of China Town. It has a very rich history and we were able to experience this with an awesome guide. We were able to see the hidden gems that we wouldn't have been able to see on our own

    Mari was a fantastic guide! She gave us a very unique insight into the nightlife of Manila. As the weather was very rainy, we couldn't really do any rooftop bars however the ones we did goto were awesome fun! We went to a couple of hidden speakeasies, a live venue and tasted some truly delicious cocktails. Mari even stuck around for a while after the tour to chat and talk some more about life in Manila/Makati. Definitely recommended!! Mari is a wonderful, chatty and delightful host!

    I highly recommend Mari's bar hopping tour.

    Mari has an insider's knowledge of a coveted and eclectic mix of bars in the area, many of which I wouldn't have discovered without this tour. The experience begins at a quieter bar, but the energy and music gradually intensify at the last two venues, perfectly matching the progression of our evening as we enjoyed the drinks.

    Additionally, I had the chance to meet some wonderful people along the way.

    Cheers,
    Ashish

    Bar hopping with Mari was so much fun! We went to bars you would never find on your own, hidden away from the busy streets off the beaten track and Mari was super knowledgeable, telling tales of local history and the wider culture of the Philippines. Would recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Mari is great! This was my first of two tours I took with her. Very professional, knowledgeable, and fun! She customizes the experience for her guests, being flexible with each group she meets up with. She took us on an amazing rooftop bar tour and I met some really great people. She draws nice people to her tours. She's the best! I recommend her most highly!
