Binondo Bites - Chloe was an incredible tour guide who brought us to a lot of great spots in Binondo. She was engaging and thoughtful, and I had a great time not only eating delicious food but also learning more about Philippine history and culture.

Locals enjoyed locals - We are actually Filipinos living in the province. We dont come to Manila often. But we sure did enjoy this. Even if the food is already familiar to us, what we had was the better version. And the tour guide made the walking and tasting tour more fun. We also enjoyed her stories. We recommend this even for locals.

Wonderful tour of traditional Filipino cuisine - Wonderful host who took us around to see some of the local food stops, and sample traditional Filipino food. Our host Nel was very bubbly, and gave us some great insight into some of the local history, aswell as food.

Chinatown Delights You’d Never Find Alone - Absolutely loved this tour! 🌟 Our guide Janel was fantastic – fun, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience unforgettable. She took us to spots I’d never think to visit on my own (big mistake if you don’t!) and everything we tasted was delicious. We left happy, very full, and with sweets to enjoy at home. Highly recommend if you’re in Manila!

Chinatown revisited. - It's been a while since I've been to Chinatown, and I must say it was how I remembered it- crowded with so many people walking in all directions, noisy with all the busy traffic, and dirty streets & esteros! But the food is still the best! Chloe and Pat made the tour very interesting with all the information they provided. The food my wife and I tasted- Lumpiang sariwa, lots of dumplings, mami & siopao, hopia, etc. were all good. It brought back a lot of good childhood memories. I can tell that they put a lot of research on the food stops we made. Kudos to both of you!

An authentic way to see (and taste) life in Chinatown - Spent a few wonderful hours with Nel and Pat who showed and told me so much about Chinatown and life in the Philippines. As we strolled through the bustling streets we stopped into several restaurants and tried amazing foods that there is no way I could have found on my own. Lumpia, noodles, dumplings … all really really good. The most fun part for me was just swapping stories with Nel and Pat and feeling their energy about what they were showing me.
