Great food tour! - We had a great time on the street food tour yesterday! It's such a nice way to try some Filipino food that I probably would never have tried otherwise. The tour consisted of several stops at local eateries and we tried a mix of foods similar to the ones we know and mystery foods where we had to guess what part of the animal it came from.
Overall, we loved the tour, the guide and the nice company we had.

Best food tour for Filipino foods - We had a great time with Chloe. We ate some adventurous food. We rode a jeepney and a tricycle. Walked through a local town. And we learned a lot about local cuisine. We really enjoyed our time. Every stop had locals enjoying a meal right next to us so you know it’s authentic.

Enjoyable tour - Jiang gave the tour and it was enjoyable. Tons of food so make sure to eat a light breakfast. We liked all the different desserts and the finger foods. He gave a lot of historical background information, some fun facts and recommendations for places to eat after the tour. We also rode a jeepme and trike which was cool.

Great Food, Great Host, Quality Tour - Excellent 5 star tour. My hostess Chloe was so welcoming and introduced me to a wide variety of exotic local Filipino foods covering their background and variations to other styles of asian foods. I ate such delicacies as xiao mai, various grilled skewers, my favourite, the spring rolls, the 'dynamite' sisig, cassava with cheese topping and avocado ice cream. The food was very filling and very tasty. Chloe also took me for rides in the local Filipino modes of transport, the Jeepney and the Trike giving guidance on how in particular to ride the Jeepney.. A very informative and wonderful tour of Philippine culture and food. Highly recommended.

Great time with a fun person - Chloé, the guide, is a fun and very knowledgeable young woman. Very professional too. I felt so bad that I was late by a good 30 minutes due to traffic but she managed the time so well that we did our tour within the allocated time but without rushing.
She even rented a whole jeepney for us when it started raining heavily.
We also got to ride the tricycle. 😁
As for the food, it was interesting. I only really didn't like 2 dishes. The rest wasn't bad at all. My favorite was the cassava cake and the Banana Turon.
I really recommend this tour. 10/10, even in a crappy weather.

Perfect way to try local foods …. Just like a local. - Jian was awesome. Super knowledgeable and made trying new foods a real joy. Loved the pace, location, and supporting local businesses. Also appreciated that he didn’t make you feel like you had to eat everything (portion size) but genuinely wanted you to at least try everything.
Well worth the time and money!
