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.

Got the local experience - Nelly was very friendly. Thank you for taking us around. The dumpling spot she took us to is no doubt the best dumplings I've tried, including those in the San Francisco Bay Area. The places we went to were places I wouldn't have stumbled upon on my own.

Discover Manila Chinatown and local food - We did this excursion with my 9 year old daughter and it was fantastic. We tasted many different specialities of Asian street food that I would never do on my own. Very good selection of restaurants and meals. Easy walking distance and interesting explanations from our guide Nel.
