Manila Tours & Activities

It was great. The buildings were all very beautiful and the history behind them was fascinating. Our tour guide, Arsen, was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Our tour guide, Ian, was so fantastic! He went above and beyond during our short time together, which truly enhanced our group's overall experience. We had some last minute additions to our initial booking, and they were assigned to a different guide. Luckily, Ian and the other guide discussed and were both able to accommodate our request to do the walking tour together instead of separately. That was very appreciated! Ian was a wealth of knowledge and you could see that he was passionate about his job, mentioning random facts many would not know, and about the history that lies within Intramuros. The history was fascinating to see and hear about; he kept us connected and engaged the entire time. Our group learnt so much from him! He took pictures of us on his personal phone and sent them after our tour. He also reached out the following day to wish us well, to enjoy our stay but to also keep safe as there was a tropical depression that day. I'm pleased to say that our group would be happy to rebook another walking tour with Ian, or anyone from your team the next time we return to the Philippines. We had so much fun, learnt and had seen so much, and overall just really enjoyed our tour. The weather at the time was a bit cloudy and humid. Tips I would recommend to others would be to bring a towel to keep cool and wipe yourself down with, or maybe bring a fan. Wear a hat and sunglasses, and to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. A bag also helps with carrying those items around! Major kudos to Ian and a huge thank you to your team!

Absolutely well worth the time and price! Guide was VERY knowledgeable, over 10 years exploring himself and conducting tours. Friendly, easily approached. Will do this again with the kids for the educational value.

The Manila Intramuros Historical Express tour provided a unique and eco-friendly way to explore the heart of Manila's rich history. Riding on bamboo bikes, participants enjoyed an intimate, up-close experience of Intramuros, the centuries-old walled city that survived the Spanish colonial era, the American period, and the battles of World War II. The knowledgeable guides, well-versed in the history of Intramuros, delivered engaging narratives and interesting anecdotes. In just 90 minutes, the tour covered major historical landmarks, including Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church, and Casa Manila, offering scenic views of the old city walls, plazas, and colonial architecture. Despite the short duration, it felt comprehensive and fulfilling, making it an excellent choice for those visiting Manila.
