My mom, grandma and I will be staying in Manila for a few days, but we don't even know where to START site seeing in Manila. Does anyone know of any reputable tour guides for hire to show us the sites?

I second both of the previously mentioned tours. Especially Carlos Celdran (He'll be out of town for a few weeks if I remember correctly from his site). I've brought many visiting family members and friends on his tour and they've all loved it.

Oh, I can be your trour guide :) Just let me know when you will come to the Philippines.
Day 1) We will start with the Luneta Park, then Fort Santiago riding a kalesa (a cart pulled by a horse). Then I will also take you to Intramuros then to The Museum.
Day 2) After that, we will go to Jose Rizal Shrine and to the hotspring resorts.
Day 3) If you want, I can make an arragement to rent a cottage in a resort located in Batangas for an overnight owned by one of our former students. So that in the afternoon on out way home to Manila, we will view the Taal Vocano and buy Mushroom Burger on our way to Manila.
Day 4) And on the following morning, We will go to Corregidor on cruise. You will see a historic tunnel full of dioramas. If you want to have an overnight there, that can be arranged, too.
Day 5) If you are still full of energy, we can proceed to Ifugao Rice Terraces.
Day 6) Off to Baguio, the Summer Capital of the Philippines.
Day 7) Off to Laoag, Ilocos Norte to the Northern part of the Philippines to see the Replica of the Malacanang Palace and the Marcos Museum and Vigan, Ilocos Sur for an overnight.
Day 8) Before going back to Manila, just go to Hundred Islands in Pangasinan, then off to Clark if you want to go to Cebu or just back to Manila to go to Antipolo Church and the newly renovated place there called Hinulugang Taktak (waterfalls).
Day 9) Off to the Bicol Region to see Mt. Mayon Volcano.
Day 10) If you still have enough energy, take a trip to Davao via Philippine Airlines. A few distance away from the Davao Airport, there's the Pearl Farm. Also you can visit the Eagles' Nest and Orchids Farm.
Day 11) If you still want to move further, I can contact my friend from Bukidnon to guide you there.
Well, if you need my service, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me via email.... batibot6@yahoo.com
Hope you enjoy your stay here. Take care.

if your young and looking for a good time i suggest that find a younger guide older and professional tour guides sucks they only take you to museums and churches and other boring places and they cost more too

in addition to bellisima's recommendation, try ivan mandy's tours as well. www.oldmanilawalks.com. there are tours scheduled for this month and you can email him at oldmanilawalks@gmail.com for details. he also does private tours. i suggest you start out with the intramuros tour. ^^
i've joined some of carlos's and ivan's tours and they are very informative as well as entertaining.
enjoy! :-)
