Great Informative Culture Walk - Great, informative evening walking around Makati with Alex, a very knowledgeable expat guide from Serbia. We (well, he mostly) talked about various topics of Philippine culture, history, and politics and made some comparisons with other countries. As other reviewers have said, Alex loves the Philippines and loves to share information about the country. He's a very personable guide and a joy to spend 2 1/2 hours with. I learned a lot and had a very enjoyable evening seeing a new part of Manila and learning more about the Philippines. Highly recommended to get deeper insight into the culture of the country.

Fascinating insight into Philippine life - In addition to walking around areas I would not have found on my own, Alex is both knowledgeable & passionate about the Philippines; the country but particularly Manila with all it’s contrasts & challenges and can see right into the heart of it’s people. History & life challenges which are not taught on the usual tourist trips is abundant n this walking experience.
