What To Expect
Casa Manila
Visit the famous Casa Manila — one of Intramuros’ must-see heritage spots in Manila, Philippines. This beautifully restored bahay na bato living museum immerses you in the opulent lifestyle of affluent Filipino families during the late Spanish colonial era. Step inside and wander through three floors of period rooms filled with antique furniture, imported Chinese ceramics, gilded mirrors, carved woodwork, crystal chandeliers, and delicate décor that reflect the cosmopolitan tastes of the 19th-century principalia class. The architecture itself combines stone and wooden elements, wide capiz-shell windows, ventanillas for ventilation, and elegant living spaces that transport you back in time.
San Agustin Church - Immaculate Conception Parish
Visit the famous **San Agustin Church**, the oldest stone church in the Philippines and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the historic walled city of Intramuros, Manila. Built in 1587 and completed in 1607 by Augustinian friars, this architectural masterpiece has survived earthquakes, wars, and centuries of history. Admire its grand Baroque façade, intricately carved wooden doors, and magnificent *trompe-l’oeil* ceiling paintings that create the illusion of three-dimensional arches and domes. Inside, you’ll find ornate chapels, religious artifacts, and the tombs of notable Spanish figures. The adjoining museum displays centuries-old vestments, manuscripts, and sacred art that reveal the deep Catholic heritage of the country. A visit here offers not only spiritual reflection but also a journey through Philippine history, art, and culture in one unforgettable landmark.

5.00Exploring the Spanish-era city with friends is an experience you won’t forget. Walking through the historic streets feels like stepping into another time, with beautiful architecture and stories around every corner. The atmosphere is relaxed but full of life, making it perfect for group photos and shared laughs. There’s something special about discovering history together instead of just reading about it. The guided tour makes everything easy and far more interesting with the local insights. If you’re planning a trip, you should absolutely book this tour.

4.00We had a very interesting tour of the Intramuros of Manila today. Jane was very informative and answered all of our questions. We found the history of this area most fascinating as we had no previous knowledge of the tumultuous history of Manila. I would recommend anyone who visits Manila to do this tour.
Must Do!

5.00Had an amazing time with Venus. She showed us around exactly the things we were looking for, in this case it was a church tour for holy week as well as the neighborhoods of Manila. She was super accommodating to my elderly parents and was extremely knowledgeable and courteous. Can’t recommend her enough.
