Great food tour, Nel was an awesome host. We had alot of different meals and there was more than enough food.... ........

Nel was an excellent tour guide! She was so friendly and fun. All the food and drinks were delicious and it was a great insight into how the locals eat and move around town!

We had a wonderful afternoon with Nel. Loved trying the street food. Would never have tried these without being on the tour. Great way to spend an afternoon

I lucked out with an impromptu private tour led by Jian, the owner and founder—what an incredible experience! Jian is not only super kind but also deeply knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about Filipino history that made every moment engaging. I truly felt more connected to my history after having many conversations with Jian. The tour itself is well-paced, with manageable walking and plenty of time to soak in the beauty of Intramuros. I even discovered Jian runs ghost tours around Halloween—how cool is that? Hopefully, that is something he can offer year-round since we have plenty of spooky things in the Philippines. Make sure to explore Intramuros before or after the tour; it’s a treasure trove of stunning sights and delicious restaurants. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Manila!

As a Filipina who grew up in the US, this tour was a heartwarming reconnection to my roots. Every dish was phenomenal—easily the best versions of Filipino classics like pichi-pichi, cassava cake, banana turon, and puto. Chloe, our guide, was friendly, and knowledgeable, and made the experience so much fun. We even got to ride a tri-cycle or tuk-tuk and a jeepney! The lineup included a mix of comforting favorites and adventurous bites like pork BBQ, lumpiang toge, isaw (grilled intestines), and sisig dynamite. Don’t worry if you’re not up for trying everything—there’s no pressure, and leftovers are thoughtfully handled. This tour is worth every penny. It’s the perfect way to experience the best of Filipino cuisine and culture. Put it on your must-do list!

The street food tour was awesome. Our guide Chloe did a great job in providing us with a history of the food as well as giving us experience of what a local might eat in an area not seen by most tourists. Definitely come hungry to enjoy the great food.

Great food, great stories, fun facts, and even a couple laughs. There’s definitely something for everyone. I had a great time and would recommend this to anyone coming to visit!

Loved it loved it loved it! Lola Oyet and her family are so very warm and welcoming and just full of amazing stories about their time in their beautiful neighborhood, sharing their experiences as a loving couple raising their children during times of change to the location. This was such a personal experience, and I can feel how genuine my new Filipino parents are about hosting new guest. They were so interested in knowing my wife's and my stories as well, it was just such a warm, comfortable, organic time. And the food, oh the food! The, Best, Meal I had during my entire stay in the Philippines (I did a one month tour through Asia for work and holiday, with my first week working in Angeles City, and my last week on holiday in Manila). The introduction to new foods, the best Adobo I've ever eaten, the most refreshing drink I've had in recent memory, everything was 11 out of 10. Her grandkids and daughter-in-law made an appearance and they were just as sweet and welcoming, not once did we feel like we were intruding on their day to day lives in the home. My next visit I will book again just to come say hello, food is not even necessary, I just love this family that much from this one booking and can't imagine being in Manila and not connecting with them again. You deserve to have this similar experience, please book now. Salamat po Lola Oyet ❤️

Great afternoon eating lots and lots of delicious food. Nel the guide was sweet, pleasant and very knowledgeable. Infact we wanted to take her home in our suitcase as an adopted daughter. She is incredible. Thank you so much Nel. X

A great tour focused around local food, led by a local person who practically grew up near the places she takes you to. It was just me, two other people, and the guide. The guide, Nel, speaks fluent English and has a very warm personality - combine that with tasting the local food and riding two local street transports (tricycle and jeepney) and you get a nice taste of local culture in just a couple of hours of time. After the tour the guide also sent us information about all foods we tried.

10/10 experience, super friendly and competent host, great preparation, stylish cutlery and a great cooking tent outdoor in a cozy alley surrounded by flowers and plants. I got some great cooking inspiration today, which is banana toron

It was such a wonderful experience! The host was very friendly and helpful, she explained everything with time and patience. We had so much fun and the food was delicious!

This was a fun way to spend the afternoon. We loved how it was in a neighborhood outside of tourist areas. We always enjoy having the opportunity to see daily life. The tour was well planned with great commentary. Some of the food was unfamiliar to us, but everyone felt fine afterward. We loved the chance to try the trikes and Jeepney. Ending the day with a local beer was perfect.

I loved my al fresco cooking class with Chyl. We cooked a range of savoury & sweet snacks - a noodle dish, vegetable roll & banana roll sweets (more than enough food to keep me going for lunch & dinner) - & it was really nice chatting with Chyl about the Philippines & food culture. She also took photos on the day, always great to have as a solo traveller! Can’t wait to recreate these dishes for friends once I’m home

Amazing! We get to know how a Pilipino lives day by day. We know what flavours are very common in philippines. We weren’t sure before if we want to do this tour since we already tried some main courses that we didn’t like, but I am glad that we did it. We experienced some of the most common food and I find those enough friendly with people who are stomach sensible. We enjoy some sweets that were delicious
