Absolutely well worth the time and price! Guide was VERY knowledgeable, over 10 years exploring himself and conducting tours. Friendly, easily approached. Will do this again with the kids for the educational value.

Waste of time and money. Drop off at a stupid mall? Quick drive through China town with quick stop at arches with tinted windows? Traded Intramuros for American Cemetery as Intramuros tour already taken. Major waste of money compared to cab fare.

The Manila Intramuros Historical Express tour provided a unique and eco-friendly way to explore the heart of Manila's rich history. Riding on bamboo bikes, participants enjoyed an intimate, up-close experience of Intramuros, the centuries-old walled city that survived the Spanish colonial era, the American period, and the battles of World War II. The knowledgeable guides, well-versed in the history of Intramuros, delivered engaging narratives and interesting anecdotes. In just 90 minutes, the tour covered major historical landmarks, including Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church, and Casa Manila, offering scenic views of the old city walls, plazas, and colonial architecture. Despite the short duration, it felt comprehensive and fulfilling, making it an excellent choice for those visiting Manila.

Our guide was awesome! He was so well educated about Intramuros and the history. It was hot, but we were able to take breaks and bathroom breaks along the way. He also took our pictures so that I wasn’t just taking selfies. Loved it and wish it wasn’t so hot and humid, but that’s something we can’t control. I definitely recommend!
