Question: What's the maximum people you can accomodate for each tour? Thanks!
fifty people...
question: what is the minimum number of people for each of your tours? thanks!
Thanks Carlos! Do you any upcoming trip in corregidor? I missed the last tour that you did early this year.
The tours of Corregidor will be back in January or February...
The minimum is fifteen people...
carlos! I really want to join your corregidor tour. Can you tell me the exact date for me to prepare? :)
It's the last week of every month starting in January.
It will be fun.
Cheers.
Hi Carlos,
A number of our friends & relatives from Taiwan, Germany, US & Japan will be here in Manila on Dec 25. As i have joined several of your tours, i highly recommend that they experience it too. I would really appreciate it if you could accomodate us on Dec. 26. Our group will be 17 persons in all. Thank you for making Manila interesting again. Truly, margie
Hi Carlos,
Do we need to make a reservation if we plan to take the Living La Vida Imelda or can we just go directly to the Binondo Church on your scheduled date to join the group?
Hi margie. I believe i still have space on my 930am tour.
Please text or email on the above details to confirm!
Hope to see you then.
The tourists will never get bored of you. You will be my tour guide when I visit the Philippines.
count me in on your Binondo Tour if you have a January 22 schedule.
Joel
Sorry! there is no 22 January tour so far.
Would you like to open one? If so, email me at celdrantours@hotmail.com so my assistant can process the request.
Cheers.
hello sir carlos!
i would love have you create a website.."carlosceldran.com"..

Hi Carlos,
I was wondering if you will have tours during the holy week (specifically April 9-12)? Thanks!
Ems
I already emailed our assistant, but I want to let you know here too...
1 person for the January 21 Intramuros Regular Walking Tour.
Thanks! Rosalind
Hi Carlos. Is the Feb 15 schedule for the Intramuros de luxe tour still open? I have a group of about 8-12 people who are interested.
Hi anonymous. Yes there are plenty of slots still available.
BUt please email me at celdrantours@hotmail.com or text 920 9092021 to confirm. We only confirm through this way.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Hi Carlos, just wondering if you could open up a deluxe tour on March 21st. I have visitors from the US and would like them to join your tour. Thanks
Do you have any tour on Feb 10?
Marlo and Anonymous,
Please send your inquiries to our email address at celdrantours@hotmail.com
My assistant does not check this blog. Sending an email is much more effective when opening up a tour.
Cheers!
Celdran, when will you post your April-May 2009 tour schedule?
Hi, Carlos,
I'm either confused or cross-eyed or both, but there seem to be two different tours on Saturday morning, the 21st of Feb. 'If these walls could talk DELUXE' and 'La vida Imelda' seem to start within half-an-hour of each other that a.m. Does this mean you will be leading only one of them (and if so, which one)? Or has there been a typo? Please advise, as I am interested in doing both. Thanks v much.
Hello Carlos,
I've done your Intramuros tours a while back. I handle HRM students from Arellano University and for one of their subjects - Tour Guiding and Travel I want them to experience a tour with you. There are a total of 100 students and so I can split them into 50 students per group. I was thinking of having them go for the Intramuros Regular Walking Tour for dates Mar. 14 and 26. How are these dates in terms of number of people - can I book these dates for the students? Thanks remebaclig@yahoo.com
hey carlos.
thanks for the tour in intramuros.
all of us enjoyed it so much.
hope everyone can hear your words.
it was really cool.
amazing manila.
cheers!

Hi.
I hope you'll be able to post your tour scheds for April soon.
I really want to experience one of your tours. ^_^
Hi Mr. Celdran,
We're planning to have our tour on April 17, 2009 at 9:30am. We sent already all the details to your email and get in touch with Lesley. We were so happy to know that you moved your out of country tour on May 2009 already. May we ask if an Intramuros regular walking tour is possible on April 17, 2009, 9:30am. All participants are only available on the 17th of April and at the moment we don't have an alternative date, I've told these as well to Lesley, but until now we're still on tenterhooks waiting for your response if tour on April 17 is ok. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you very much.
What is the "parade/traffic" comment on 4 April 2009, Sat referring to? Will the same "parade/traffic" affect your afternoon tour as well?
Hi Carlos!!! Are public school students and government employees go free? Thanks.
Once upon a time, yes.
But no more na.
I will give special exception to some cases though.
Hi.
I just wanted to know how early or how late we can make a reservation for your tour.
Thanks so much.
I guess I'll have to be on my own overnight to Corregidor on the weekend of May16 and May 17.
Safe travel to Canada.
Hi I just want to know if the Chinatown tour includes eating in some chinese restaurant for dimsum?
hi carlos, i've always wanted to have a tour in binondo and quiapo...wala na bang opening for april or early may? sana meron...
carlos,
i know you already said you'll be in canada most of may but is there any hope that you'll be able to to do 1 imelda tour before you leave? like first week of may, please? i'm based in england and will be home the 2nd.
There is a tour on the 9th? I hope that's alright...
QUESTION: Do you have a tour scheduled for June 1-5, 2009? We'd like to join (preferably) the de luxe tour (2 pax). I've already emailed & texted - haven't received any reply....
Great site! My sis and I would love to join you on one of our tours. By any chance do you ever do the Living La Vida Imedla or If These Walls Could Talk Tours on the weekdays? Our schedule's looking relatively tight...
July dates please!
Hi Carlos! Any chance that you would consider scheduling a Living La Vida Imelda tour between July 21 to 24? My brother-in-law will be coming to the Philippines and, unfortunately, will only have those dates free. Thanks!
Butch, I can open up a date for that tour. But email celdrantours@hotmail.com, I need an email request to do so...
Is there no upcoming tours around Quiapo/Binondo? A lot of my friends and I are interested.
I'm still figuring out a date for the Quiapo tour.
I am totally revamping it...
I'll definitely attend one of your tours once I manage to escape for a vacation,LOL!
Hi! Will you accomodate 10 to 15 people for your regular tour (800/adult) on july 17? Thanks! - Joie

Hi Carlos,
I was wondering about the possibility of joining the Intramuros tour on the 6th of Aug (it's the only full day I have in Manila before leaving for Pinatubo and then Boracay).
Please can you let me know how I can reserve a spot for me (just 1 pax).
Thanks so much and hoping to hear from you back.

Question: Are the tours held exclusively for certain groups or are these open to the public? Can I join any of the tours without being a complete stranger to others?
hi sir, are you conducting a tour by request? we have relatives coming from the US and they wanted to have the tour either on sept 22 or 23 as they have other tours around phils, however i checked your site and no tours were set on the said dates, were a group of 10 pax. hope to hear from you soon so we could arrange our booking with you right away. they were very excited when they heard our stories about your tours. thank you!
Hi Sir!!!
I would like to ask, what is your minimum number of guests per tour? We're a travel agency located in Makati and we will be having aapproximately 100 which 50% are balikbayans, (around january next year) and we highly recommend your tour.
Hi, Carlos! I'm kinda missing the cemetery tour. That was really fun!
But I just might have one Saturday afternoon free for the Imelda tour. :)
QUESTION: We are only 3 in a group, can we just join other groups for a tour? If yes, how?
I hope you open up a schedule on November 20 for either your Intramuros Deluxe and Regular Tour coz my friend and her daugther will be here here in Manila at that time. She wants to let her daughter see where she came from. I guess I just have to look at this page every now and then.=)

Tour was fine except he sounds somewhat racist against muslims when telling the history of spanish era
Really? Which part?
Really?
Please be careful of what you accuse me of. You really must be joking. I could get into a lot of trouble and a lot of anger can be directed towards me with an accusation like that.
Please please clarify. It is a dangerous accusation that you have here.
And having said that. On the opposite scale? Was I uncritical of the Catholics?
Hey great job buddy.. What max number of people you can accommodate in the apartment?

Hi Carlos,
Do you already know when there will be the If these walls could talk tours in mid-January? E.g. on the 20. or 21. January?
Thank you!
We went on the Downtown Express Tour a few weeks ago. The tour itself was great, and I would recommend it to anyone. However, I would suggest that anyone new to Manila who hasn't had experience at the local markets or being the only foreigner at one of the markets to wait until the summer months to take the tour so they aren't left in the Quiapo market area alone at night. Carlos kept repeating on the tour that that area has an unfair reputation for being unsafe and that we shouldn't be afraid of that area and should return on our own in the future. That was all well and good as we stood there as a group of 15 or so people, but once the group dissipated and we were on our own, we were fair game and the sellers and beggers became more aggressive. We made it to where we were going to wait for our ride and one of us split off to get some sodas while we waited. The man in line with him was shocked he was there at that time of day and kept telling him that he was not safe in that area alone. This was further reinforced by Filipino friends, who, when they heard we had been left there by our tour guide to wander alone after the tour was over, began listing off their own experiences at that market where people attempted to unzip their bags to get inside while our friends were haggling with a stall owner or attempting to pickpocket them.
This isn't a slam against the Philippines or Filipinos. There are areas of my own country I would think twice about going to and certainly would stay away from after dark. The end point of the Halo Halo/Downtown Express tour is one of those places.
Hi, Carlos! First time for my family to get a guided tour of manila. do you still have slots available this friday,nov. 20, for 6 people? Or is it too late for us to join the group? And if you cater for such a big group, how do you manage? have you a team that assists you? Thanks!
We went on the Downtown Express Tour a few weeks ago. The tour itself was great, and I would recommend it to anyone.
Thank you for this. But allow me to reply to each of your points individally.
"However, I would suggest that anyone new to Manila who hasn't had experience at the local markets or being the only foreigner at one of the markets to wait until the summer months to take the tour so they aren't left in the Quiapo market area alone at night."
I do agree to stay when there is still light and I do try to make that clear. It's a great area in the daytime and I still totally stand by that belief. I know the tour you took, which is a revamped tour and now uses a kalesa and ends thirty minutes to an hour later than the old tour schedule. I will be moving it to the morning soon simply because of that realization. And when you say "left in the Quiapo market alone", I hope you don't mean "abandoned at the Quiapo area". I do double check if all guests have transportation back and if they need to find ways to do so. I NEVER just "leave" people in Quiapo, that much I can say to defend myself.
"Carlos kept repeating on the tour that that area has an unfair reputation for being unsafe and that we shouldn't be afraid of that area and should return on our own in the future."
I still stand by that comment, but yes, just like any other place that is "off the radar", please be aware of your surroundings and do it in the daytime. In no part of the tour did I recommend folks walk around at NIGHT. I hope I did not infer that at any point.
"That was all well and good as we stood there as a group of 15 or so people, but once the group dissipated and we were on our own, we were fair game and the sellers and beggers became more aggressive.
We made it to where we were going to wait for our ride and one of us split off to get some sodas while we waited. The man in line with him was shocked he was there at that time of day and kept telling him that he was not safe in that area alone.

Did those things happen to you that night? My deepest apologies if so. But re: comments by Filipinos. Yes, well these are Filipinos perhaps who also do not go to Quiapo at all as well and revolve thier life around Makati and places "on the radar". As I said, I still stand by the safety of the area IN THE DAYTIME. The place has improved considerably in the last five years. I can attest to that. I would never take people around an area that would endanger their well-being.
"This isn't a slam against the Philippines or Filipinos. There are areas of my own country I would think twice about going to and certainly would stay away from after dark. The end point of the Halo Halo/Downtown Express tour is one of those places."
Thank you for your letter, I agree with some of your points and I will try to my best to follow up any improvements that may be made.
