About this tour

The Philippines is a remote and little-known country that has nevertheless had a significant historical connection with both Spain and somehow with many of Latin America’s Hispanic countries as well.

A country with crystal-clear waters, endless beaches, the very heart of what the word paradise means. In this country, we can find a lot of light, yes… but also a lot of shadows. We’re going to have a look at the great things, as well as the shadows of the country.

This interactive storytelling walk is meant to have the flow and information-heavy experience of a documentary. It takes us into a comprehensive analysis, providing surprising answers.

It highlights the social and political elements of the Philippines, from the creation of the Filipino state to modern times. We’ll address both historical and current events from a balanced & non-biased point of view to help you determine your views of this land for yourself.

The experience is aimed at people with a genuine interest in politics and those keen to learn more about the situation in the Philippines by conducting some first-hand research.

Feel free to contact me for a date and hour that suits you best.

Our experience was guided by Alex. He was excellent. The easy conversation that took place during the walk allowed for history, storytelling, and personalization. We are so glad we had this experience with such a great guide!

I did a walking tour with Issac last summer in Athens and loved it so much, it was a genuine highlight of my trip and enhanced the rest of the trip so much now that I had context for the social and political history. I was so excited when I saw there was an experience in Manila, my only wish is that I had done the walking tour on my first day. I liken Issac's experiences to the box of text or the audio guide when you are at an art gallery. You see a beautiful painting, it gives you feelings, you appreciate it, but then you read the museum label and you learn who did the painting, what year, and the story about how the piece came to be and it makes the experience so much richer. I am glad to see that Issac has tours all around the world now, Alex was a great host in Manila, like Issac, who made us feel like we had an instant friend who was a local, but with an outsiders perspective, able to give objective commentary that a local might not be able to. Going to have a look where else Issac has tours so I can book them in for my summer travels!

We had a great time walking around Makati with Alex who is from Serbia. He answered all our questions and had good information to share. Would recommend being prepared for lots of walking in the heat or rain depending on the weather!
