Intramuros: Viaje Inolvidable al Corazón Histórico de Manila

Excelente tour en manila!! Recomendado para conocer el casco histórico de Manila, nos sentimos muy seguros.

Excelente recorrido a pie por un guía que estaba bien informado y hablaba inglés con fluidez. Historia muy interesante de la vieja Manila. El Fuerte era bonito y estaba bien mantenido y contiene artefactos relacionados con el héroe nacional, José Rizal y otros. Los bocadillos proporcionados por los vendedores ambulantes, taho y helado, ¡eran deliciosos y frescos! Muy recomendable.

Andrea was a great guide who communicated the rich history and culture of the Philippines. it was a lot of fun and very informative; I now have a basic understanding of the Philippine culture, history and its people. Very glad I took this tour. Thank you again Andrea!!!

A relaxing tour of Intramuros, our guide was organised, friendly, fun and informative. The tour was exactly as advertised. Would happily recommend to anyone interested in the history and context of Manila life.

This is a must take tour. My guide, I believe her name was Ann also the girl in the picture, is a passionate Philippine native. Her oratory skills and explanation of the 400 years of history were fascinating. She also threw in some quirky jokes that showed the lighter side of life. There were times when she talked about the darker side of history here. I believe we should never forget the past and how we got here. Highly recommend

We did a private tour with Denji (Jian Dennis Dolosa) who was excellent - extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his city. And he gave us some great halo-halo recommendations too! We’d absolutely call Denji again whenever we’re next back in Manila.

Fantastic tour, probably the funnest tour group I have ever been with? The tour itself was very informative in a way that was easy to digest and enjoy. I learned a lot about Intramuros and Filipino history. This tour brought out my Filipino pride and I'm a middle aged white man 😂. The group I was with was singing along with the tour guide to her music and were even filmed by other tourists who clapped along as we Sang Manila( -Hotdog). Quite a fun experience.

This was the only tour we booked during our trip to Manila and I'm so glad we did. The last time I went to Intramuros was when I was a young child so to come back as an adult, it felt different and I understood the history a lot better and appreciated the Philippine culture a lot more. We came a bit late but our tour guide was nice enough to wait for us. From the start of our tour, I thoroughly enjoyed the background, the insight, and the physical artifacts that supported the whole tour. Intramuros/Fort Santiago is a bastion of Philippines history and to be able to hear more about Jose Rizal's contribution to Philippines independence made me more proud to be Pilipino. Seeing the dungeon where many people suffered and perished was nothing short of heartbreaking. I can only imagine the pain and helplessness of those who were left in that dungeon. After that, I enjoyed the small break with our sorbetes (ice cream) and water. After Fort Santiago, we came to Manila Cathedral. It was also my first time seeing that church. It's not as big and grand as other cathedrals in other countries but the inside was very ornate and looks wonderful. It's amazing to see the headquarters of the Philippines Catholic Church. The kalesa ride was pretty fun. It was our first time. Also, to have a driver who knows the history of the area was an added bonus. He was also pretty funny so we had a great time while riding the kalesa. After the ride, we ended up in San Agustin Church. When we got there, there was a baptism that was happening so we weren't able to get in but we still got a historical lesson of the church. Last but not least, we got to see the Plaza San Luis Complex where a grand house was set up to look how it was back during the Spanish colonial times. It was great seeing antique furniture and all the accoutrements that were used back in the day. It was also interesting to see how this mansion came about. I won't get into more detail for potential people who want to do this activity but you will be surprised. Overall, I highly recommend this activity, especially if it's your first time in Manila or you're just curious. Our tour guide was awesome, engaging, and very knowledgeable.

Interesting & informative. Our guide was very enthusiastic & had a sense of humour. Well worth doing.

Ann provided a comprehensive tour and history of the Philippines—truly outstanding & highly recommended!
