Philippines · DINING EXPERIENCES
Every itinerary has one day too few. These 15 dining experiences justify the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes rather than an evening.
Cruise Puerto Princesa Bay at sunset, enjoy dinner, and watch wild fireflies and glowing plankton on a four-hour evening tour.
“Activity was nice and would recommend however would be improved by having more time watching the fireflies as that’s what you’re there for.”
Watch thousands of fireflies, enjoy dinner, and cruise Puerto Princesa’s Sicsican River on a relaxed four-hour evening tour.
“Great great tour! Very well organised and didn’t feel touristy at all. We were pretty much the only boat there until the very end and felt super private. The guide was great, very well spoken and super friendly and enthusiastic. Food was amazing. If I had the food in a restaurant I would be very happy.”
Watch fireflies by paddle boat, learn about Palawan’s mangroves, and enjoy a local dinner on this four-hour Puerto Princesa tour.
“The activity was amazing and unique. The guide was courteous and professional. Another guide at the boat terminal provided a lot of information about the fireflies and their conservation efforts. There was sumptuous food with vegetarian options in the dinner.”
Taste Filipino street food, sip local beer, enjoy retro desserts, and finish with 360-degree Makati views at Antidote rooftop bar.
“Great food tour in Manila! V had great communication with us pre tour and on the night she showed us places we might not have found ourselves in Manila. A mix of the street food market and a retro 1950s style diner for dessert! Make sure you leave plenty of room as there is so much food! Highly recommend if you're new to Manila.”
Review of Manila’s cultural dance dinner at Barbara’s, with Filipino buffet, hotel pickup, traditional music, colorful costumes, value, and practical tips.
“The cultural dance show is worth visiting, colorful and well prepared though, the image photo on the internet is not identical with Barbara's restaurant. I would rate the prepared Dinner Buffet rather average, also once I saw the low price which I compared with our price asked from the organizer. The pick-up from the Hotel and drop-off was also very fine.”
Taste Filipino street food in Makati with a local guide, enjoy a beer, take rooftop photos, and explore after dark in a small group.
“We had a thoroughly enjoyable tour and our guide Jenny was so kind and knowledgable about the food and culture. She introduced us to new foods and different parts of the city, areas that we would never known about without her local knowledge. We highly recommend this tour.”
Review of Manila’s cultural dinner and show, with Filipino food, music, bamboo dances, hotel pickup, pricing, and practical tips.
“Our guide was amazing. We had a bit of time before dinner and the show so she stopped off at a park and gave us a short tour and got our picture in front of the monument to the Philippines National hero. We were seated at a terrible vanRead more”
Review of Cebu’s private evening tour to The Tops, Sirao Flower Garden, mountain markets, and Filipino dinner, with practical booking advice.
“We had a very short stay in Cebu so this tour was great. It was easy. We were able to see a little bit of Cebu without any hassle. Our guide was knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs.”
Share a Filipino boodle fight, beach bonfire, cultural dance, and karaoke with a local family in Sibaltan for a warm Saturday night.

Taste Filipino street food in Makati, enjoy live music, meet local guides, and finish with dinner, drinks, Halo-Halo, and rooftop views.
“Our guide Mare was very enthusiastic and provided us with lots of information on the night side of Makati. She introduced the hawker’s food in an interesting way to remove our worry or doubt in taking the street food. The four of us had indeed an interesting tour of the. Ight-life of Makati.”
Review of Puerto Princesa’s Balayong Park night tour with dinner, fountain show, hotel transfers, and optional spa massage.
“The best part was massage. overall the trip was not well planned and organized. it was advertised that we will see a show but we did not see fountain show as the first stop was restaurant for buffet dinner as advertised and restaurant was closed so we went to city hall and baker hill. Then we saw fountains but not a show. The dinner was not a buffet as we were not given choices to select and buffet means you can get more than one round. The food was already selected for us and not everything was tasting good. also the tour indicated bottle water will be provided and it…”
Review of Cebu’s Temple of Leah, Sirao Garden, and Mr. A dinner stop, with practical advice on views, timing, value, and what to expect.
“This was a great tour but should have asked for a certified guide for more information on the sites. Our driver was very kind and helpful so no complaints there! The lechon was delish!”
Review of Bohol’s 10-hour private tour with Chocolate Hills ATV ride, tarsiers, sardines, Loboc lunch cruise, zipline, and costs.
“The tour took place on Christmas Day, so due to the very early start time (6:00 a.m.) we paid special attention to the organization. We first received the pickup time and, because it was a holiday and we had to arrange an early breakfast at the hotel, we asked again a day prior to confirm the meeting time. Unfortunately, despite the confirmed pickup at 6:00 a.m., the organizer arrived 45 minutes late. This delay affected the rest of the day — the entire schedule was pushed back, which forced us to change our evening plans. Even with those adjustments, we were not able to complete the full itinerary and had…”
Review of Cebu’s private highland tour, Temple of Leah, Little Kyoto, panoramic dinner, transport, price, timing, and practical tips.
“Our tour guide was Mawing and he was so patient and accommodating. The van was clean and comfortable and he was such a safe driver! The terrain was so winding and high, but we came back in one piece. The sights were breathtaking!”
