Highly recommend this informative tour of Old Manila and Intramuros. Our guide Teresita(Tessie) was a font of knowledge on Filipino history and a pleasure to spend time with. Be prepared for walking in warm weather. Drinks for sale in Ft Bonifacio and ice cream sample was a treat.
Our guide was amazing and informative. He answered any questions we had and tailored information to us. Even thought it was a small group tour it ended up being just my husband and I. The whole tour was interesting historically and architecturally. Loved the Manila house.

Happy to hear the stories, history, and architecture resonated with you, and yes, the Casa Manila is always a favorite! We appreciate you choosing to explore the city with us.

What a great experience!!! Anne was a fantastic tour guide! Don’t Skip Manila clearly love their city and share its history through story. Very engaging. Super informative. Can’t say enough good things about their tours! Highly recommend. We also did their Binondo Food Tour which was AMAZING!
Thank you so much for this! ✨ It means the world to us. I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour and even happier that Manila spoke to you through our stories. Manila with you was a joy, too! Hope to see you again on another adventure. 💛
We had a wonderful experience with Anne and Andrei of Don’t Skip Manila | Manila For Kids! The itinerary was well-planned and perfect for kids—fun, interactive, and educational. The children enjoyed learning about Binondo, visiting the Chinatown Museum, and experiencing hopia making at Polland Hopia. Ending the day with learnings and a family picnic at Rizal Park made it even more special. Highly recommended for families who want their kids to learn and explore Manila in a meaningful way.
Thank you so much for this heartwarming review! 💛 We truly enjoyed spending the day with your family. Seeing the kids so curious, engaged, and excited made the whole tour even more special for us. We’re grateful you chose to explore Manila with us. Hope to see you again for more kid-friendly adventures!
Andrea was a great guide who communicated the rich history and culture of the Philippines. it was a lot of fun and very informative; I now have a basic understanding of the Philippine culture, history and its people. Very glad I took this tour. Thank you again Andrea!!!
A relaxing tour of Intramuros, our guide was organised, friendly, fun and informative. The tour was exactly as advertised. Would happily recommend to anyone interested in the history and context of Manila life.
This is a must take tour. My guide, I believe her name was Ann also the girl in the picture, is a passionate Philippine native. Her oratory skills and explanation of the 400 years of history were fascinating. She also threw in some quirky jokes that showed the lighter side of life. There were times when she talked about the darker side of history here. I believe we should never forget the past and how we got here. Highly recommend
Hi! 🌟 Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and that Anne made the history of Manila engaging, meaningful, and fun. We appreciate you for not skipping Manila and we hope to see you again soon! 🇵🇭✨
We did a private tour with Denji (Jian Dennis Dolosa) who was excellent - extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his city. And he gave us some great halo-halo recommendations too! We’d absolutely call Denji again whenever we’re next back in Manila.
Fantastic tour, probably the funnest tour group I have ever been with? The tour itself was very informative in a way that was easy to digest and enjoy. I learned a lot about Intramuros and Filipino history. This tour brought out my Filipino pride and I'm a middle aged white man 😂. The group I was with was singing along with the tour guide to her music and were even filmed by other tourists who clapped along as we Sang Manila( -Hotdog). Quite a fun experience.
This was the only tour we booked during our trip to Manila and I'm so glad we did. The last time I went to Intramuros was when I was a young child so to come back as an adult, it felt different and I understood the history a lot better and appreciated the Philippine culture a lot more. We came a bit late but our tour guide was nice enough to wait for us. From the start of our tour, I thoroughly enjoyed the background, the insight, and the physical artifacts that supported the whole tour. Intramuros/Fort Santiago is a bastion of Philippines history and to be able to hear more about Jose Rizal's contribution to Philippines independence made me more proud to be Pilipino. Seeing the dungeon where many people suffered and perished was nothing short of heartbreaking. I can only imagine the pain and helplessness of those who were left in that dungeon. After that, I enjoyed the small break with our sorbetes (ice cream) and water. After Fort Santiago, we came to Manila Cathedral. It was also my first time seeing that church. It's not as big and grand as other cathedrals in other countries but the inside was very ornate and looks wonderful. It's amazing to see the headquarters of the Philippines Catholic Church. The kalesa ride was pretty fun. It was our first time. Also, to have a driver who knows the history of the area was an added bonus. He was also pretty funny so we had a great time while riding the kalesa. After the ride, we ended up in San Agustin Church. When we got there, there was a baptism that was happening so we weren't able to get in but we still got a historical lesson of the church. Last but not least, we got to see the Plaza San Luis Complex where a grand house was set up to look how it was back during the Spanish colonial times. It was great seeing antique furniture and all the accoutrements that were used back in the day. It was also interesting to see how this mansion came about. I won't get into more detail for potential people who want to do this activity but you will be surprised. Overall, I highly recommend this activity, especially if it's your first time in Manila or you're just curious. Our tour guide was awesome, engaging, and very knowledgeable.
