I was in the Philippines summer of 2023. I ended up finding Venus in one of the tour sites (not sure which one, but a site like Air BnB experiences or Get Your Guide. I was traveling alone and had the most amazing time with Venus and the other guests. She is fun, welcoming, and knows her stuff. She definitely is a connector of people and has pure, authentic energy. She took us to restaurants, bars, and clubs. We played pool, laughed, and danced all night. I highly recommend this beautiful soul. I love keeping up with her through social media and am amazed at her constant growth and zest for life. She is everything! Can’t wait to be in the Philippines again to have Venus show me another unforgettable time. Xoxo Love ya V! Nina Raab, Newport Beach, California

Venus kept us entertained all morning with her knowledge and understanding of the area. We were able to use many forms of local transport to see different parts of Manila. We had a great tour and would highly recommend it.

We did the Makati "Pub Crawl & Bar Hopping" Tour/Experience! V was funny, personable and made us feel like we were just hanging out with friends here in Poblacion, Makati. She took us to numerous places that had great drinks and good vibes that we would have not been able to find by ourselves. We shared our lives together and places around the world we have visited. It was such a great introduction on our first night in Manila. I highly recommend this experience, BOOK THIS NOW!!! Thank you so much to our new friend Venus!

Do not hesitate to book this tour with Venus. Wife and I had an absolute blast hanging out with Venus. A little bit of rain did not stop Venus from being awesome. She is very knowledgeable, funny and communicates non-stop with you. Venus is high energy and will show you a wonderful time. She will safely take you places that would be overwhelming to attempt by yourself because the night market is busy, busy, busy! Go for it… Book with Venus!

Had an amazing time exploring the night scene with Venus. She’s a gem! It was like hanging out with a friend I hadn’t seen in awhile. You won’t be disappointed!

We had an incredible experience with this guide! In the morning, we explored the Old Town and Chinatown in Manila, which was both informative and enjoyable. The guide’s knowledge about the history and culture really brought the city to life. Spontaneously, we decided to book a bar hopping tour in the evening, and it was a fantastic way to experience Manila’s nightlife. The next day, we went on a trip to the volcanoes, which was another highlight of our stay. Everything was well organized, and we felt very well taken care of throughout. The guide was professional, friendly, and flexible, making our trip memorable and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Manila and beyond!

V started the tour at the City Garden Grand Hotel where we did the meet-up. Keep in mind that traffic can be really bad during the week from the hours of 5-9 pm because of rush hour. Catching a rideshare during that timeframe will be really difficult if you're in Makati. She was really patient while waiting for me to show up after an hour of waiting for a Grab to come and get me. We had a quick drink at the City Garden Grand Hotel rooftop bar, which has an awesome view of BGC. From there we went to a Speakeasy off of the main street. The bar was really cool and had an entire wall that reached to the ceiling that displayed nothing but different bottles of alcohol. The vibe was really chill and they had a live Jazz band perform on a little stage in the middle of the bar. The specialty drink I had was smooth and smokey and tasted really good. Next was a quiet little spot on another side street. We were there early so there wasn't a large group of people but everyone there was very friendly and was cool with letting me roam around and take pictures/videos. The drink I got that was pretty good. I really don't remember alot about the next bar we went to. It's not because I didn't like but I had been drinking a few beverages at the first two places so the memory was getting a little fuzzy. The next bar was a Japanese bar that had two DJ's performing at the same time. One downstairs and one upstairs. The vibe at this place was awesome and got really packed fast! I did enjoy the sake there as well as the signature drink. I actually wanted to stay there longer but I knew we had one more spot to go to. I definitely would suggest going to this bar on the weekend as a jump off before hitting the club. The last bar was The Mansion. It had 3 different sections inside: pool room/beer pong and games area, the main bar, and a live music area along with a VIP section. This is definitely a fun and sophisticated place to get drinks. The entire place was jumping from start to finish and we actually stayed there until they closed. The music, drinks, and people there were all awesome and I definitely want to go back to this place again. Overall, I give the tour 5 stars. I would have never been able to find these types places on my own and definitely not be able to have as much fun as I did with V. If you're ever in the Manila you definitely need to have V show you around town.

Amazing street food tour with the lovely Venus . Got the chance to sample local street food and some nice cocktail bars in the area

The photo tour of Manila’s Old City and Chinatown is an exceptional experience, made even more memorable by the outstanding work of tour guides Venus and Floyd. Their deep knowledge of Intramuros’ Spanish colonial history and the vibrant culture of Binondo brings each site to life. Venus captivates with her engaging storytelling, while Floyd’s keen eye for hidden photographic gems ensures you capture the perfect shot. Together, they create a seamless, educational, and visually stunning journey through Manila’s rich past and present, making it an absolute must for both history buffs and photography enthusiasts.

Hands down the best tour in the city. I travel a lot with friends and I frequent trip advisor excursions and Venus is by far the most friendly and knowledgable guide I've every had. She really knows her city and showed us a market we never would have been exposed to! The street food was amazing (make sure you try everything) and night outlived my expectations. Highly recommend 10/10!

The tour was awesome! Our tour guide V is amazing. This tour shouldn’t be missed, its s filled with Manila culture. Tried delicious Filipino snacks, went for a ride on a Jeepney and a Tuk Tuk. We also toured an authentic Filipino neighborhood. Had many great photo ops along the way. I highly recommend booking this tour, you won’t be bored or disappointed. V has a vibrant personality and is so much fun.

Couldn't be more than impressed! Venus was amazing. My wife and I did this tour. And it was a real eye opener to the different lifestyles of Manila. Whether you're an Introvert or extrovert, this tour is for you. Felt very safe and lots of laughter. Wouldn't hesitate in even doing it again. Thanks Venus!

Booked this tour via Airbnb and it was amazing. I don’t like the touristy stuff so enjoy the real culture stuff. Venus was amazing and made sure to experience each of the local types of transportation. Also, went to a lot of the villages. She also went above and shared her own inspirational story about growing up. An amazing tour and experience. I have a new friend as well. This is a great tour!

The night market tour was amazing!! Venus was informative, fun and entertaining. She was the perfect tour guide! We had a really good time, and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Manila, Philippines. :)

We had a fantastic time with Venus, she moves super fast and packs a lot into 2 hours. We saw so much that we would have never been brave enough to visit without a great guide and tried lots of different street foods. Couldn’t recommend enough! 😀
