Hi! I'm Jonathan. Please call me Jon. I'm a visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker. I love to travel and document my travels and I love to meet and converse with people from different countries. I was born in Manila and have lived and worked in Manila for a long time. I'm very familiar with the many sightseeing spots and attractions, thanks to my long-term life experience in this city. Manila is a fascinating and picturesque city that many foreign tourists visit yearly. I have guided quite many foreign tourists as an English-speaking tour guide for the past several years. I wanted to guide tourists simply because I would like to make people happy. Moreover, I am interested in the history of Manila and the Philippines in general, culture, and geography, and I also like intercultural exchanges! I can show you around not only popular historical sites and relics but also hidden spots which only locals know. I always enjoy guiding every tourist with my best hospitality. When you have a chance to visit Manila, please contact me anytime and join my tour! I look forward to spending a wonderful time with you. See you soon!

“I focus on bringing my guests to the famous tourist attractions in Manila and nearby provinces. In between these, off-the-beaten-path attractions and secret gems await you. Adventure tourism is also a possibility. I’ve had visitors who already experienced volcanic craters in Central Luzon, walked the rice terraces in Northern Luzon, and other activities unique to the Philippines.”

“Worst ever”
Nice enough guy, but he wasn't a tour guide's butt hole. This was a complete FRAUD. This is the first negative experience in the Phillipines after being here 2 weeks. Shame on you.

“Comprehensive Cebu highlights by comfortable air-conditioned car!”
It was first time trip to the Philippines. My husband and I were interested in local life and transportations. Leila was so experienced and professional. The communication with her was prompt and smooth from the beginning when I booked her tour. We've learnt lots from her. “Comprehensive tour" of Cebu was indeed so. Tour covered from Mactan Island, city central, even to mountain area, which looked difficult for us to get there by public transportation on our own. The driver, Jomar, was gendle and an excellent driver. Tour took us to the fantastic view ot Tops at the end of the day, which can't miss. THANK YOU VERY MUCH again, Leila-san for fantastic tour!
