Jonathan S.

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.”

Bar Hopping at its best!

Kazu found a great vegan ramen bar to start the evening, which was very tasty. We then discussed possible options for bars, among them such a great Sake place. Thanks for the great evening!

Amazing Tour to Nara

Hiroki planned such an incredible tour through Nara. He organized a craft workshop where we made our own brushes with a master. It was amazing, he translated everything on the fly since the lady barely spoke any English. It would have been almost impossible to organize on our own, and it would have been very intimidating, although she was very nice. We then walked around a lot, went to many different places of interests, everything was timed perfectly. He does the tour to Nara a lot, so he has a lot of experiences on how to handle the deer feeding as well, which was greatly appreciated! Thank you for the great day Hiroki!

Amazing Tour through Kyoto

Ana guided us so well through all the interesting and also less crowded places in Kyoto. She planned everything so well, oftentimes we would see masses of people coming to places that we were just about to leave, so just in time. What I found really incredible is that she even go to the vegan place beforehard to try it out, just because she didn't want to go with us anywhere that she didn't know beforehand! Thank you so much for the amazing day Ana!

Amazing Tour - Well Planned - Great Guide

Akira picked us up at the hotel and we sat in the lobby to quickly evaluate our options, as the flea market we wanted to go to got cancelled. Very quickly he came up with a new plan to explore some more local neighbourhoods that felt much more like the real Tokyo compared to the neon sign areas. He guided us so well and all the transportation was so seamless, it was hard to reconcile in the evening all the areas we've been to. We had some of the best fruits we've ever had, amazing experiences at so many small shops that we would have never dared to go into alone, and at the end he even guided us to a ramen place that had incredible vegan ramen for my wife! Thank you Akira for that amazing day! :)
