    Most of the attractions were closed and under construction nothing to see a long journey to visit Intramuros waste of time Avoid the place and do something else !! On top of this they have a bad attitude and charge full price for a guided tour with little to see 🤨

    Very happy we didn't skip Manila. We learned so much about the history of Philippines, Intramuros, the Spaniards, Jose Rizal the Philippine hero, WWII and the occupation of the Japanese and the occupation of the Americans. Our tour guide Andre' was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of historical insights about Manila that I never knew about. It was a fantastic tour and I highly recommend it to those visiting Manila and even those who live here in Philippines. Thank you Andre' for opening our eyes about how far Philippines has come from the past history. -Amazing!

    We toured our foreign boss in Intramuros. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed it as a local. There were new fun facts that I only learned during the tour. Andre, our tour guide, was very engaging and informative. He even had a background music when we moved from one stop to another. I recommend getting him in case you have option. We also had free bottled water and sorbetes i.e. local ice cream. We rode the Tranvia, visited churches and had the house replica as our last stop. There was a sticker giveaway as well. We're a semi private group. I think this is a good way to refresh history even for kids and an informative background of getting to know our country for foreigners. Even though it might be pricey for some, the 3 hours overall tour is worth it. Will recommend this to others.

    Loved our Intramuros walking tour with Andre! I went to school in Manila in the late 70s and studied Jose Rizal as part of our high school curriculum, and boy did I learn more about Jose Rizal and the history of Intramuros during this walking tour! The program for this 3-3.5 hr tour was just right – walking with visits to dungeons, talks under a mango tree and other shaded spots, kalesa ride, quick visits to the 2 churches, and even a sorbetes (dirty ice-cream 😉) snack break in-between. Andre who’s passionate sharing his knowledge about this part of history kept us engaged the whole time. Whatever my family and I learned, we were still discussing it even after the tour ended! Thank you so much Andre and Don’t Skip Manila! Folks!...this is definitely a tour not to be skipped!
