Food was great and got a nice history of the area. We had about a dozen different kinds of cuisine at various restaurants and street vendors around town.

Great tour guide, Jian, to take me through the hidden gems of Chinatown. Was very knowledgeable and knew how to relate to me. Didn't make me feel rushed on the tour and encouraged me to give everything a try. He was very personable and had a relationship with the people working at the establishments. Very happy with experience and would recommend to others. Even helped me pin the pick up location for my GRAB transport. Thanks Jian. -Corey

My wife and I did this tour while visiting Manila on business. It was a great experience although we weren’t expecting the sheer amount of different things we were able to sample! All of it was wonderful and we especially enjoyed that we were able to visit some very small family-run places that we probably never would have found let alone visited during our time in Manila. The variety of foods was good as well - we’re fairly adventurous eaters but I think the options offered would still be suitable for more picky tour participants. In my experience, it’s always a good sign when you’re eating at a place that is full of locals too, and that was certainly what we saw throughout the tour. Our tour guide Chloe was amazing and was full of great information about the history of Manila and of the Chinatown itself. In all, we’d certainly do it again and will recommend it to others

My husband and I spent a wonderful morning with Jian sampling some of the tastiest foods in Chinatown. He was very knowledgeaable in Filippino history and Chinese culture, sharing it with us between courses while our food settled and prepared for the next culinary adventure. Best food tour we have been on, and we have been on many.

What to Expect

Step into the vibrant tapestry of flavors in Binondo, where every corner tells a tale of culinary richness. Dim sum, a term originating from southern China that translates to "snack," takes on new life as we delve into classic snacks meticulously curated from this historic district. Our culinary journey transcends the ordinary, as we explore not only dim sum but also an array of beloved local snacks. Immerse yourself in a diverse selection of both sweet and savory dishes, a harmonious fusion of Chinese and Filipino flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. This experience is a culinary odyssey tailored just for you! Our destination is none other than CNN Travel's acclaimed "oldest Chinatown in the world" – Binondo Chinatown in Manila City. Brace yourself for an exploration of the labyrinthine side streets and enchanting alleyways, where hidden gems and hole-in-the-wall restaurants await, serving up cherished local delights that have stood the test of time.
