Hi, I'm Kuya Pepe - born and raised in Manila, and endlessly inspired by its energy. What I love most about this city? The people. Manileños are resilient, warm, and full of life. I’m passionate about our history and culture - whether I’m guiding you through the cobbled streets of Intramuros or introducing you to hidden food gems in Binondo, I bring stories that go beyond the guidebooks. From local festivals to off-the-radar cafes, I know where Manila’s soul truly lives. If you're up for a walk through time, a taste of real Filipino flavor, and a few laughs along the way, I’ve got you covered.
The Manila tour was a wonderful experience that gave me a deeper appreciation for our local culture and history. While it may feel like a basic tour for locals, I believe foreigners will be truly amazed by the rich traditions and stories that our city has to offer. Visiting Luneta Park and Intramuros was especially memorable—each place is filled with historical significance that reflects the country’s past and resilience. Although the walking part of the tour was a bit tiring (it was my first time doing a walking tour in Manila!), it was definitely worth it. Overall, this experience is one for the books, especially for those who want to explore the true beauty and heritage of Manila. I would suggest adding more stops and historical points to make the tour even more immersive and educational.
