An excellent walking trip. Andrei is so passionate about the history of Manila, his enthusiasm is contagious. Manila has a very interesting and diverse history. The tour is about 3 hours with a bit of walking, remember your hat as it does get hot walking in the sun. We were collected from our hotel a 8 and dropped back about 1.30. One of the best tours we have done.

I have always wanted to see Intramuros and learn more about its history (even briefly through a tour). With this particular tour, I can now check off one of my bucket list items. My main takeaway for me is why I should be proud of my Filipino ancestors, my Filipino culture and ethnicity. I am more appreciative of Intramuros itself, its key role in Philippine history; I have more respect for the Filipinos who lived through the Spanish, American, and Japanese occupations, especially those who risked their lives for independence; I am more in awe of Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero, who inspired (and still inspiring) many Filipinos to love the motherland. There were moments in the tour where I became emotional listening to our tour guide. I believe that it was also the knowledge and passion of our tour guide, Andrei, who made this tour a wonderful and memorable experience for me and my friends. His "music" also added to the mood of the tour. I think an Intramuros tour should be offered in schools. Well, it should even be advertised to the local barangays so people can see and hear for themselves about an important piece (and place) of history. This tour will kindle (and rekindle) one's patriotism, one's love for the Philippines. My friends and I were glad we joined this tour. Kudos to Andrei for this unforgettable experience.

It was a wonderful day discovering Manila’s history! Andre is so knowledgeable and such a nice guy. His passion for his city and his country are infectious. He even treated us all to some cheese and avocado ice cream, which was a really nice touch on a very hot and humid day. Highly recommend Don’t Skip Manila Tours!
