★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 76 reviews · from $75

A half-day door-to-door tour of Intramuros and historic Manila, with Paco Park, Baluarte de San Diego, Manila Cathedral, and Casa Manila.

“I recently took a half-day tour of Manila and had an amazing experience! Our guide, Marcos, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the city. He made every stop engaging, from Casa Manila, where we learned about colonial life, to the impressive San Agustin Church, the oldest church in the Philippines. Intramuros, the Walled City, was a highlight, and Marcos brought its history to life with fascinating stories. Our driver, John, was excellent as well, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride throughout the tour. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Manila’s rich heritage in just a few hours!”

Oliver is the ultimate guide you didn't know you must have. Professional, well updated and also has a great (singing) voice. He is social, friendly, patient and helps you in every way (and much more then what is required) ! Ask for Oliver and you will have an unforgettable memory!”
