What you can expect
Join a 3-hour community-based urban tour in Manila, visiting Baseco, Tondo, and Smokey Mountain. Guided by local community members, this experience offers a deeper understanding of everyday life, culture, and the history of these neighborhoods.
Rather than simply observing from the outside, learn directly from the people who live here. Hear personal stories, local knowledge, and the historical background that shaped these communities.
This tour aims to create respectful cultural exchange while supporting community-led initiatives. The areas visited during this tour are coordinated with local authorities and community leaders, and safety considerations are carefully planned. However, as in any busy urban environment, remain mindful of your personal belongings at all times.
During the tour, use local transportation such as jeepneys and tricycles. For safety reasons, avoid using your phone openly while riding, as theft can occasionally occur in crowded areas. Stay aware and enjoy the experience safely.
Restroom access is limited during the tour, so participants are kindly asked to use restroom facilities before the tour begins. To avoid unintended disruption, please refrain from giving money, food, or goods directly to residents. If you would like to support the community, donations can be made through organized projects, which ensure that support reaches the community in a fair and structured way.
