Traveler Reviews

La excursión fantástica. Lo único que el Gobierno filipino debiera reformar Intramuros, está bastante mal conservado.

We had a great tour with Andrei. He was both knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot about the history of Manila. The only negative was the horse drawn carriage ride (not with Andrei), because we couldn't hear what the driver was saying and had difficulty seeing what he was pointing to. Overall, however, a great tour.

Andrea, our guide, was the best. So knowledgeable, but humorous as well. The tour was very informative and interesting. A great way to learn about the history of Manila.

If you ever come to Manila, and you want to know about the real Manila and it's history, this tour is a must. It was extremely informative Anne and Jai, were the best. Do not miss doing this tour!!!!

Great locations, really thorough telling of Phillipines history. Guide had a good sense of humour but was also able to reflect on the tragedies. Sometimes guides sound like they are reading from a script. Not this one, he is very knowledgeable. Also ice cream was a nice touch. Great way to cool off.
