Interesting food, well-informed and friendly guide and plenty of variety—what else could you ask for? This was a great food tour. I would think a food tour would be difficult to design. There are so many types of foods! Jian did a wonderful job choosing foods. And he also skillfully introduced us to many foods we simply would not likely have eaten had we not been on the tour. Speaking for myself, I’d happily eat these foods, but I wouldn’t know to order them because I just wouldn’t know that they exist. So it was a very fun journey of discovery for a foodie!! There was more than enough to eat, and there was a very broad variety, from appetizers to mains to desserts. Jian did a wonderful job discussing the history of the foods -and even the places where we were eating. I really had a great time. Highest recommendation.Jian led a fantastic tour with many interesting foods along the way. The pacing was perfect and allowed you to enjoy each of the unique items. You will not go hungry! He provided a great local perspective on a variety of topics and it felt like visiting an old friend.

I was born and spent the first 10 years of my life in the Philippines, but I was visiting with my husband this time around. I wanted to share with him some of the street food I grew up anticipating after school and this tour did NOT disappoint! Jian was amazing, engaging, and answered all of my husband’s questions. He shared food that even I didn’t have the balls to try when I was a kid. My husband had a blast and it was an overall awesome experience!Our guide Jian was incredibly knowledgeable about not only the food we tried, but the history & culture behind it too! Everything was delicious and overall a fun time.

Mixed in a little Philippines history along with the food. Highly recommended. If you pass the challenge of eating everything (which I did), the amount of food alone is well worth the cost of the trip. I was stuffed at the end.
