Great tour! It's my second time doing this tour and the history lesson alone was great and add getting the fun of riding on a bike around the oldest part of Manila. Highly recommended!
Excellent history tour by an engaging and knowledgeable guide. Paolo was super friendly and made sure we were safe and enjoying ourselves. The tour stops in the most interesting and historical places in Intramuros and Paolo had pictures and maps to bring the history alive. If you’re in Manila, don’t miss this tour. .
Nice! All in all, we got some interesting information and went a bit to everywhere. I didn't miss anything afterwards. Nice guide ( Christian) and nice other people on board!
Excellent information. Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We biked safely in the rain and sunshine. Christian was very good at explaining the history of Manila and the Philippines. We felt safe and well cared for. He went above and beyond. We enjoyed ice cream at the end, and he led us to a great Cafe for a beer and lunch after the experience.
Christian was a special guide on a wonderful ecological and charitable way to see the most unique district of Manila and learn a great deal about the history of the country and city. Also great for photo-taking opportunities.
Brilliant value for money. Amazing guide - Justine. His knowledge and explanations made the tour.
Our young guide, Chi was so knowledgeable about the history of Intramuros. There were 4 of us in the group. At each stop Chi told us stories of the past and gave us a bit of time to checkout the site. The bamboo bikes were a good eco innovation. At the end we each got a delicious icecream of our choice. My hubby and I chose the local flavour of Nangka(jackfruit). I would definitely recommend everyone wanting to learn about the history of Phillipines to take this tour. In the heat, it’s less walking and less tiring!
Great easy going bike tour. Justine was a good tour guide and we learnt a lot about Manila and its history.
Great tour of Intramuros. Our guide, Prime, kindly made sure I had a bicycle that I was comfortable with as well as sunscreen and bug spray. He answered all of our questions and customized the tour to our interests. I was able to see more of Intramuros than I could if I were walking. It was a hot day. Our guide provided cold water halfway and a cold towel plus ice cream at the end. Highly recommend.
Christian was our guide, he was very knowledgeable of the history of the city, he has a degree in history after all. He is very personable and both his knowledge and charisma made the experience all the better.
