Philippines

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.”

Great Tour!

We had a great tour with Grant! Extremely knowledgeable about Tokyo, history, and getting around!! We wished we had booked him a second day. Already gave his name to others looking for tours!

Fabulous intro to Japanese food with Hero!

We (family of 6, 3 generations from Australia) arrived in Kyoto this morning and basically headed straight out on a food tour with Hero. Having never been to Japan we wanted someone who could help us navigate the markets and restaurants and introduce us to Japanese food and culture. Hero did all that and more. Despite having next to no sleep Hero made us all forget how tired we were and kept us engaged with interesting facts about the area and history and of course trying many delicious Japanese dishes. We had such a great time and I’m so glad I booked Hero. He was so good with our 7 yr old son too, who was really disappointed when it was time to say goodbye! Thank you again Hero and if we are ever in Kyoto again we will definitely book you again!

Walking tour of Split, tour of Krka Park and wine tasting.

Pavle was an excellent guide. We spent 2 days with him and it was most enjoyable. First day, we toured Diocletian Palace and Old Town. Pavle was very knowledgeable and the tour was definitely interesting and educational. He was very generous in explaining the history and culture of Split as well as, Croatia. Second day, Pavle and his brother Bosko took us to Krka National Park, which was breath taking. Then, they took us to a vineyard and we had a delightful wine tasting at a local winery. Then they safely drove us back to the city where they showed us football stadium and view of Split.
