I’m really glad I went on this tour. My guide was Alex, a guy from Serbia who was knowledgeable and passionate about a variety of different topics regarding Pinoy culture and politics as well as Manila’s local political economy. I appreciated he was self aware enough to acknowledge the optics and constraints of a non-Filipino acting as a guide to the local society. There was good rhythm and flow to the tour dialogue and Alex was comfortable leading discussion, taking questions and branching off on conversational tangents with me and the other person on the tour. I’ll note that the tour covered a fairly small area in Makati but I asked for an earlier timeslot which meant it was hotter than it would have been on the regularly scheduled version and the length of the tour wouldn’t accommodate for checking out other parts of Makati that weren’t so close to walk to like green belt mall etc- though we started in Rockwell Center, which was a bit off the main tourist area of Makati. I felt much more informed about the Philippines and Manila after my time with Alex and would also say he was a generally easygoing and engaging person who was happy to continue chatting for as long as I had time, so things felt more friendly than transactional.

Isaac sent us a wonderful guide named Cezar. He's a highly intelligent and knowledgeable university student who was a very engaging guide. He was able to answer all our questions from his broad understanding of his culture and our own. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening with Cezar.

Incredible tour. We learnt so much and our guide was excellent, Janesha was personable and we immediately were relaxed and welcomed in her friendly presence. And in terms of the tour she is so well informed and was able to answer all of our questions.

Fascinating view of a city that is not apparent on the surface. Highly recommended.
