Stella was very knowledgable and friendly. She gave us more than enough time at each stop to take photos, learn about the history, and explore on our own. We would definitely recommend this tour to get acclimated to Manila and general Filipino history!

Far too expensive for what you get. Essentially you get a van ride to the American Cemetery and then to Intramuros (short walk to Fort Santiago) and then back to hotel. We two paid $120; if we took Grab, it would be $20 for all three legs of the trip. The guide was nice and attentive, but the trip itself does not offer good value. I cannot recommend this trip.

Willy's efficient driving and Richard's detailed explanations throughout the tour made this afternoon both productive and illuminating. Connecting through the city for just a day, this tour gave us an excellent introduction to Manila's top attractions, culture, and history. Richard has a nice way of providing both broad, overreaching explanations and minute detail, and there were no questions we asked that he couldn't answer with interesting minutiae, candor, compassion, and wit.

The tour of Old and new Manila was very interesting, especially Intramouros. Unfortunately the traffic on Friday afternoon was very bad which delayed the tour, but this is not a reflection on the tour company.

We did the Manila Old and New tour and really enjoyed it. We weren’t staying at one of the listed pickup hotels, so we made our own way into the city to meet the group, which was straightforward and worth it. The guide arrived right on time and the group ended up being just five of us, which made it feel relaxed and semi-private rather than crowded. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and explained the historical sites in a way that was easy to follow and engaging. It’s a solid introduction to Filipino history and a good overview if it’s your first time visiting Manila. I’d recommend it for anyone wanting context and background, not just sightseeing. One of the churches was closed due to renovations.
