Whilst in Manila for business, I came across the Happyland Smokey Mountain Tour. Knowing that my payment was not going to a tour company profiteering from the less fortunate, I was more than happy to sign up for this.
Jocelyn my guide was amazing, giving me insights to how the community operates and what families do to survive was a real eye opener. I tried their pagpag, if its good enough for them, why wouldnt i try..
Jocelyn took me also to the wholesale markets where i picked up some bargains. I asked Jocelyn to choose lunch to give me something i had yet to try, and we shared a great lunch together that i was more than happy to pay for.
The tour was simple to organise and travel from Makati took about 40 minutes on a Saturday morning. Be aware of Manila traffic! Travel back to Makati after lunch was taken on Grab scooter and took 45minutes.. car would have been significantly longer..
If in Manila, this is a must do tour, the funds we pay can only do good for the community and we should all do more where we can..
Thanks Jocelyn!!

We had heard a lot about the slums of Tondo and found the best way to visit: with Smokey Tours! Not only does a guided tour with Smokey provide you with information, history, and the opportunity to really go deep into Happyland, but your patronage directly benefits the residents through Bless The Children Foundation. You will also have a chance to ride a Jeepney and tricycle if you haven’t tried that yet. Go with Smokey Tours. It is very good and also does good. Thank you also to our guide Josie!

I did the Smokey mountain and Happyland tour. It’s was very interesting it gave me insights. My guide was very good and shared the history behind the places and the people who live there and their struggles to survive. Also positive things that happened with help from the Bless the children foundation e.g education program,
It is very easy to book and get information about how it works. I used Whatsup and e-mail. The tour fees supports the foundation.
I do recommend to join the tour.

We visited as a family of five. Jocelyn showed us around and from beginning to end my whole family enjoyed and more importantly learned.
Everybody we encountered from the oldest to the youngest were so very friendly and welcoming.
Our two hours wizzed by and we all can say every minute opened our eyes and hopefully taught us to be better people. Thank you Smokey Tours for showing us, happiness, kindness and that we all do share the same sky, another Philippine saying which we learnt!

Our local tour agent booked the "slum tour" for us. So at 08.00 Eileen picked us up at the hotel and together we went to KFC to pick up Janet, our guide for the "slum tour". Janet lives also in this part of Manila so she know really everybody and everything. The walking tour itself is very confronting, you 'visit' the poorest part of Manila. Where water and electricity cannot be taken for granted. Where thousands of people live together on a few square kilometers without (or few) conflicts. When you know that your paid fee is going to the local people to help start up projects such as a library with books for children, help young people to pay for their study etc, this is a very good initiative. At the end of the tour you have the possibility to give a donation, but it is not obligated. The only regret is that no photos may be taken.

Dear Ingemuis,
Thank you for taking time to participate in our Slum Tour and seeing that amidst the bright lights and resorts that surrounds the city, there's a place where water and electricity are a luxury rather than a necessity. That survival and learning are dependent on the kindness of our guests. Yet, this community strives to live harmoniously and peacefully with each other. Taking the Slum Tour is humbling in all aspects of the word. Thank you for being part of it and sharing your experience with many.
Sincerely,
Smokey Tours

I did a guided walk through BASECO with Smokey. An very informative, personally moving, and, strangely enough, entertaining experience. It is perfectly safe, by the way, but dont wear your white sneakers. Being a funny white guy, it was easy to entertain the many kids. So, when in Manila go Smokey!

I had such conflicting views about engaging in "poverty porn" while I was on vacation. But I saw that Smokey Tours, run by its parent organization, the JoHo Foundation, reinvests profits into building up Manila communities affected by poverty. When vacationing, it's so important to learn a bit about the history, culture, and politics of the place you're visiting, including its most vulnerable communities. I did not get to join the Slum Tour, but the Cemetery Tour offered a unique window into the lives of North Manila Cemetery's caretakers, about 4,000 of whom live on the 54-hectare property. My guide, Marjorie, helped me understand so much and I'm deeply grateful that members of the community took the time to talk to us while on the tour. It gave me a true sense of how people live and the issues and sometimes discrimination they face for living at the cemetery. This tour is recommended for people with open hearts and the humility to learn about a community's unique circumstances.

Dear Vincent Paolo V,
Thank you for a very sincere review about your Cemetery Tour. More often than not, look past smaller communities that thrive among unexpected and more unique locations. We are grateful for your deeper understanding and appreciating cemetery dwellers, whom, just like any ordinary citizen, strive to live an honest life.
Sincerely,
Smokey Tours

We showed up at the point where the tour showed before leaving Tokyo. It was a bit earlier like about 30min before but she(main guide staff named Melanie) was already there and trying to find us. She was so nice and always treating us well even we were in some tough area for tourists. The tour is the must if you haven’t experienced. people in the slum are so peaceful and they believe the word “be kind”. You will know what I say when you experience the tour.

Dear hiro-tokyo-j,
We're glad that you took the time to get to know the slums a little better and learn that it's different from what it is stereotyped to be. Thank you for your positive review and recommendation. We hope to see you in future tours!

Hello, I can’t speak English much so which should I join the tour that private or public group tour?
كُتب بتاريخ 9 يناير 2020
Hello FarAway, We suggest you take a private tour so that your Tour Leader can take the time to explain in detail things you have difficulty understanding. Public tours go much faster since we assume that those who join it can speak and understand English better. I hope I answered your query. Thank you for your interest in Smokey Tours!

Dear Angelina-hy,
Thank you for your question. It is really important to us that each group has an authentic experience and is able to learn and listen to the tour leader, who provides excellent historical and personal information about the communities in which we work. With a large group it can be difficult to hear the tour leaders and get the full experience.
We typically only take up to six people on each tour to maximize safety of our guests and tour leaders, and to also not be too invasive in the community. We are happy to work with separate groups, such as schools and larger tours, and book multiple tour leaders if needed. This means the tour will be on the same day at the same time, but the group will be split into smaller groups with different tour leaders.
Please feel free to send us an email at admin@worldexperience.ph for more information or if you would like to set up a private tour. We are more than happy to work with you and ensure you get the full experience of our tour.
Thank you so much,
Smokey Team

We have many guest who speak little English and still learn a lot from the tour.
I hope you can join us for a tour soon.
Kindest,

Thank you for your question!
As safety is our number one priority; we do not advise to bring very young children during the tour. As the surface, and impact as well, can be rough in the slum area. Of course we are always open to discuss any specific questions regarding bringing your children to the tour, just shoot us an email via tours@worldexperience.ph and we can discuss specific situations regarding this concern.
Thank you!
Warm regards,
