Our Mission
Manila: Adventure and Authenticity
We are committed to providing exceptional, insider’s experiences of Manila. We respect our guests not simply as tourists but as explorers hoping to discover the authentic flavors of this complex, fascinating city. From the humble to the ostentatious, the sacred to the profane, we’ll help you paint your own unforgettable portrait of our city.We will lead you through the good, the bad and the interesting. We won’t show you how we want it to be – but how it actually is.
OUR SENIOR STORYTELLER
My name is Jian. I’m the senior storyteller at Explore Manila Tours.
Because I am passionate and proud of my Filipino heritage I love creating authentic experiences for visitors who want to explore Manila with me.
As co-founder of this Manila-based tour and events company, I am focused on curating activities that are warm, authentic and meaningful.
My mission is to change the “Don’t go to Manila. Go to the Beaches” mindset.
Sure, Philippine beaches are fantastic. But Manila is a terrific urban destination bursting with food, culture and history.
With Manila Tours we’ll take a dive deep into the heart and soul of Manila, Pearl of the Orient.
