Intramuros & Chinatown Manila Tour – Walking, Food & Culture

Overview

Available languages

English

5 hours

Mobile ticket

Who are the Filipinos? Learn and understand the locals while walking, eating, and exploring Manila, the Philippines' metropolis. Once known as the "Pearl of the Orient", this city is rapidly changing. Visit Quiapo Market and Binondo’s Chinatown and see how the new emerges between the old, in all areas of life. As it’s architecture, Manila's street food is a showcase of the city’s different visitors throughout history. That history is best visible at the old city of Intramuros. Strolling through the small streets might feel like traveling back in time. This area suffered heavy damage during World War Two, but the Filipinos' hospitality and smile remains one that cannot be destroyed.

Our guide Fred was very knowledgable and created a fun experience! He also recommended things to do that we tried afterwards such as the Barbara’s Heritage Dinner/Show and drinks at the penthouse bar at Bayleaf Hotel- both were excellent!
Philippine history, culture, food and more.

George and his coworkers were just amazing. Very interesting to learn about Philippine occupation over the last 500 years and experience some real Philippine cuisine. A real personal experience. Highly recommended.

Great experience using the jeepnee to get around town, the food tasting in Chinatown will definitely be something I will remember. It started to rain, so no bike tour instead visits Ft. Santiago and some cathedrals, overall, it was fun.
Great Tour of Manila!

Erick and Carmen were great! I used to live in Manila and this tour took us to places I have never even been! We got to try out the river ferry, the tricycle, and the jeepney. Highly recommend this tour!

Eric - our guide was amazing! He was explaining different food and fruits and also culture and history of Philippines. We experienced different ways of transport in Manila including- boats, tuk tuk , buses and circling. I feel this tour is the best to get to know the city If you have a little time in Manila. Definitely, I recommend this tour to anyone coming to Manila. Enjoy!

This is a fantastic tour to do. If you have Miguelita and Dana as your guides, it’s even better! Unfortunately I couldn’t ride on the ferry as it was closed for the national holiday so we ended up getting a taxi to Quiapo. That was the only downside (if you can even call it that). You will learn a lot on the city tour (fun fact: Binondo is the oldest Chinatown in the world) and see a few beautiful churches. After the city tour, we rode a jeepney to Intramuros which was another great part of the tour and it sparked great discussion amongst the group. I have to praise Miguelita and Dana again because they were so attentive and patient with the group.
A must!

The experience overall was amazing, I’ve missed the ferry in the morning because of traffic but they have organised it so I could rejoin them after the ferry ride. Food and cultural tour, Grace and Janill were very knowledgeable, friendly and always available. Overall a great experience.
