Description

Step into a day of discovery on this private countryside tour in Pampanga Province, where you'll explore lively local markets, walk along historic streets, and see charming heritage houses and religious sites that reflect the heart of Filipino culture.

While the province of Pampanga is best known for its culinary excellence, it is also rich in history and tradition. Its towns are filled with well-preserved ancestral homes and vibrant public places that remain the center of daily life. 

This day tour allows you to explore Pampanga Province with ease. It already includes convenient pick-up and drop-off from your accommodation in Clark City or Clark International Airport, a kalesa (horse-drawn carriage) ride, the expert assistance of a guide, a food tasting activity, a delicious lunch, and bottled water to keep you energized throughout the day.

On the day of your tour, your guide will meet you at your chosen location, ensuring your journey begins seamlessly. 

One of the highlights of this tour is the San Fernando Public Market, where you'll experience an authentic local atmosphere. This vibrant market in the city of San Fernando is full of well-loved delicacies, and through the guided food tasting activity, you’ll have the chance to sample a variety of regional favorites firsthand.

You'll also enjoy a relaxing break at Bale Matua, a charming coffee shop and museum located on Consunji Street. You’re free to explore the museum and enjoy a cup of coffee while soaking in the cozy, nostalgic atmosphere. If you'd like to try more, you can go for a pastry tasting with a variety of local treats available for purchase.

The impressive Santungan ning Kulturang Kapampangan Museum, located in San Fernando City, is also part of your itinerary. It is a cultural center showcasing the province’s vibrant identity through displays of traditional crafts, heritage pieces, and historical exhibits. This destination offers a closer understanding of the artistry and legacy rooted in the region.

Another part of this journey is a heritage houses tour via a kalesa, a traditional horse-drawn carriage commonly used during the Spanish colonial period. This scenic ride takes you along the length of Consunji Street, where you’ll pass by elegant ancestral homes that reflect the rich architectural heritage of the area.

The Lazatin House, built in the 1920s, is known for its role during World War II when it was used as a residence by a Japanese general. Not far from it is the Hizon House, easily recognized by its grand columns and wide capiz windows that reflect the elegance of colonial-era design. 

Another spot is the Consunji House, a well-preserved family residence that carries the legacy of one of the city’s prominent clans. These historic homes, viewed from your kalesa, reveal stories of the province’s past and the enduring legacy of its prominent families.

After the rolling tour, you’ll stop by Baluyut Bridge, locally known as Tete Baluyut, a historic river crossing in San Fernando City that remains vital to local transport and daily life. Just nearby is the Old Pampanga Hotel, now a lodge and restaurant that continues to serve guests in a beautifully preserved ancestral home. 

You'll have a delectable lunch at Apag Marangle, a charming restaurant also located in the municipality of Guagua. Surrounded by lush greenery and a tranquil fishpond, the establishment offers a rustic ambiance reminiscent of a traditional Filipino farm. 

Another significant stop is the peaceful Santiago Apostol Parish Church, often referred to as Betis Church. Built during the early 1600s, this church in the municipality of Guagua features impressive artwork and classic design, making it one of the most revered religious sites in the province.

You’ll also visit the San Guillermo Parish Church, known for its history and resilience. Half-buried by lahar from a past volcanic eruption, this church, located in the municipality of Bacolor, remains active and continues to draw attention for its unique structure and enduring spirit.

As part of the tour, there will be a stop at a Pasalubong Center, which offers a wide range of local goods, handmade products, and traditional souvenirs. This is an ideal place to find thoughtful gifts and keepsakes that reflect the province’s unique identity.

After an enriching tour in Pampanga Province, you’ll be comfortably dropped off at your chosen destination in Clark City.
