This was an excellent tour! Jian is quite knowledgeable about history, and loves sharing all sorts of interesting trivia and facts. He gave a very good overview of Philippine history, as well as explaining how it impacted Filipino culture. He was happy to answer all sorts of questions. I would highly recommend this tour! (Also, I went during a slow time for tourism, so I actually had a solo tour.)

About an hour into the tour I pulled my friend aside to thank them for finding us the world’s best tour… Jian is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter and it really shines through.

This is a VERY informative tour. The guides, Jian and Patrick, are extremely knowledgeable about Filipino culture and history, and the sites visited throughout Intramuros are fascinating. The tour structure and pace was perfect. I highly highly recommend this tour. It was absolutely worth the price we paid and I'd 1000% do it again.

Jian was a great guide! He is knowledgeable and full of insights and tidbits of information. Myself and my 3 young adult kids enjoyed the tour very much!

It was an amazing experience! Definitely recommend before starting your vacation to the Philippines. You learn about the history, the people and the events that eventually lead to how things are run in the country. Truly an eye opener! Thank you to Jian and Pat for informing us.

Jerome was a phenomenal tour guide! He was very informative, funny, and helpful. Also, he was very accommodating and cordial. I would definitely recommend Jerome to anyone interested in learning more about the Filipino language(s) and the history of the nation. Thank you, Jerome!

Jerome was a great tour guide, he was so knowledgeable and was able to answer our peculiar questions. You could tell he was able to adapt the tour to our interest and style which made it so enjoyable, he would keep you on your toes with his sprinkle of jokes and some sass :) He was very clear on his communication and let us know exactly what would be seeing and stayed with us until we got on Grab to go our separate ways.

Jian was terrific. I was the only one on the tour, and he explained things to me as though we were just chatting about the history and culture - instead of being lectured at. He also answered all of my questions fully, and delved deeper into areas that he saw were interesting to me. It couldn't have been a better introduction, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

The tour itself was great and topped of by wondurful man named Jerome, who showed enthusiasm and great knowledge about the locations we visted during the tour.

It was only me and my mother. The tour guide was nice and knowledgable but he rushed the tour. We didn't finish all the spots in the itinerary. I would not recommend.
