Intramuros Walled City

This tour was GREAT. My guide was Marlowe and he did a fantastic job. Very knowledgeable. It was the right amount of time and all the sites were interesting. One person in my group was not comfortable with a bike and they had a covered buggy that she could get in. The complimentary water and sweet treat were a great addition.

We had a great tour with Andrei. He was both knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot about the history of Manila. The only negative was the horse drawn carriage ride (not with Andrei), because we couldn't hear what the driver was saying and had difficulty seeing what he was pointing to. Overall, however, a great tour.

Andrea, our guide, was the best. So knowledgeable, but humorous as well. The tour was very informative and interesting. A great way to learn about the history of Manila.

Very knowledgeable tour guide (Raymond). Driver was great. Awesome your, would definitely recommend to all.

Our guide was very good and friendly. We could easily understand her English. The excursion to Intramuros and to the museum was interesting.

We had an amazing tour of Old Manila with Jonas! From start to finish this tour was fantastic. He picked us up promptly with a sign from the port exit. We had a sweet driver, a nice clean van and the best tour guide. Jonas was very educated and explained with great detail the history of Manila to us. We visited many interesting locations and as everyone was walking around in a big ship tour group we had an absolutely brilliant tour just for the two of us. I highly recommend booking this private tour. It was well worth the money. Thank you very much Jonas for your thoughtfulness and wonderful professionalism. We had a great day in Manila!

Angelica was an excellent tour guide. She was extremely well educated on the country’s history and a wealth of interesting facts. Bicycling was not at all strenuous as we made frequent stops at interesting sights. Traffic was somewhat crazy, but the Bamboo Bike staff occumpanying the tour did a great job of holding up traffic and ensuring that our entire group was able to cross intersections safely. Very reasonably priced and an overall super trip. Angelica treated us to delicious ice cream at the end of our trip and we all were given a metal water bottle to take home. GREAT CHOICE!

Manila was a port on our cruise itinerary that we probably were unsure of but this half day tour with Don’t Skip Manila certainly changed our minds and it became our favourite port of call. The tour takes in most of the same things a cruise ship tour will but with a locals insight, Ann our guide was an enthusiastic advocate for Manila. It’s mainly a walking tour with a short drive to the start point and back to the ship but the pace is relaxed and we got to see way more than the ships tour who we saw being regularly hearded on and off of coaches and rushed around attractions. Anna’s enthusiasm was infectious and we learned so much about the history of Manila and the Philippines under different rulers and the love they have for Jose Rizal, we were also able to visit Casa Manila which was a fascinating insight into the way people lived in Manila years ago. Don’t miss Manila and certainly don’t miss this tour!

We had a 17 hour layover in Manila on our trip home from Bali. So I decide to "Not Skip Manila" and do the Intramuros Tour. The tour guide Andre' was fantastic and he was full of fun facts. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Manila. The bonus was the ice cream treat. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has a long layover in Manila.
