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!

Dear Extraordinary804350,
Thank you for touring the slum and learning how daily life occurs for the poorest members of our society. Good to know you plan on taking your children to experience seeing the other side of Manila.
スラムを巡回し、私たちの社会の最も貧しい人々のために日常生活がどのように起こるかを学んでくれてありがとう。 マニラの向こう側を見るために子供を連れて行く計画を知っているのは良いことです。

Me and my brother went for the Slum Tour with Melanie (guide). She lives there since 20 years so she was able to tell us the reality. All the people we met were happy to see us. We played basketball with the kids and peeled garlic. We went there by Jeepney's and Tricycle, it was our first time and it was really fun. This was an awesome visit and I would highly recommend it to anybody. Thank you very much !

This is the second time for me to join the tour, which includes slum and cemetery tour. I was alone at the first time in 2017 but this time in 2020 was with my friends that I brought. I explained what I saw during the first visit to my friend a couple times. But they couldn't get what I'd explained before the tour. But everything in their mind have been changed since yesterday. Everything they experienced in the tour is something we can never experience in developed countries. The tour has been greatly updated even for me. I got so much information which let me imagine the different aspect of how people live there. There are many feeling in the slum, happiness, mindfulness, and other emotions. I highly recommend that you visit the tour if you are reading my comment. You will never regret.
2017年にツアーに初参加し、今回は友人たちを連れて二回目の参加でした。私自身の初回訪問以降、友人には何回かこのツアーの話をしたものの、内容への想像があまりついていない様子でした。今回のツアーは友人たちの想像を遥かに超えるものだった様子で、もちろん先進国では決して体験できない様なものです。また、ツアー内容はアップデートされており、私にとって二回目だとしても異なる側面からスラム事情や生活の様子を知ることができました。幸せや、現実を受け入れている様子、そのほかの感情が入り乱れ、なんとも言えない感覚になります。もしもこのコメントを読んでいるのだれば、ぜひツアーに参加してみてください。絶対後悔はしないと思います。

Dear shoheitoguri,
We are very touched that not only did you return 3 years after taking your first Slum Tour but that you returned with friends in tow. Opening their eyes to what once opened yours. Making new realizations about the simplicity of life. Thank you for sharing this renewed experience with your friends. Words aren't enough to tell you how much we appreciate your beautiful gesture.

Smokey tours gave me the chance explore the real Manila that I never would have seen on my own. I did the slum tour, cemetery tour and market tour and on all three I got an insight into the lives of thousands of Filipinos that most tourists would miss. Melanie, Janet and Tessie were all extremely warm, helpful and knowledgeable guides. An unforgettable experience!!!

Hello, I can’t speak English much so which should I join the tour that private or public group tour?
Miss Juul

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!

is it okay to have twelve people in private tour?
Miss Juul

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

Is the slum tour safe for children?
Smokey Tours
مانيلا, الفلبين22 مساهمة
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,
