I went on the Manila market tour and was really happy to have the opportunity to see a completely different side to Manila. The Escolta and Chinatown area - where this tour takes place - are completely different from the high rises of other areas of Manila and are well worth a look for the crumbling architecture, as well as the markets. Bernie was a great guide, navigating me around the tasty treats of the market and I found plenty of sweet treats to tickle my tastebuds even though I'm a vegetarian. From food to herbal medicine, I learnt plenty of new things about Filipino culture. For comedy value, I recommend having a market Tarot Reading :-D. The markets are a side to Manila life that many miss out on, so I would strongly recommend taking this tour.
