★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5 reviews · 2 hours · from $65

A 2-hour walk through Binondo with Venus: historic sights, Chinese-Filipino temples, big street-food stops, and local rides for $65.

“This was a great tour for getting a feel for local life in Manila. It was also fun trying different transport methods like jeepney, tricycle, and tuktuk. Venus took us down many streets that we would not have gone down if we were exploring independently, and helped us to feel safe in each area.

10.Manila Chinatown Food Tour Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 4 reviews · 2 hours · from $65

Walk Manila’s Binondo Chinatown for 2 hours of Filipino-Chinese street food, old-world sights, and local rides for $65 per person.

“The tour had potential but fell short of expectations. While the Shanghai Fried Siopao and Lord Stow's egg tart were good, it was disappointing that other iconic Chinatown delicacies—such as the Fresh Lumpia at New Po Heng Lumpia House, Kutchay Dumplings at Dong Bei Dumplings, and Hand-Pulled Noodles at Lan Zhou La Mien and other must-try food —were not included. Additionally, the tour lacked in-depth historical insights about Chinatown, which would have enriched the experience. On a positive note, the tuk-tuk and jeepney rides were enjoyable. With better planning and a more comprehensive itinerary, this tour could significantly improve.”
