Intramuros Walking Tour by Don't Skip Manila | Excursion à terre
Description
Il s'agit d'une visite historique d'une demi-journée d'Intramuros, la ville fortifiée de Manille. Notre visite est sous forme de narration qui parle des événements importants qui ont façonné les Philippines. Si vous n'avez qu'une demi-journée à passer et que vous voulez entendre l'histoire plus que les visites rapides de la ville, c'est la visite pour vous et votre groupe. Il s'agit d'une visite ancrée dans l'histoire et la culture qui comprend une partie de marche, d'équitation (lorsqu'il y a plus de 4 touristes) et de visites de musées. Nous avons organisé cette visite pour raconter plus de 400 ans d'histoire en moins de 4 heures.

Itinéraire
Il s'agit du premier parc central de Manille dédié à l'un des héros nationaux des Philippines exécuté dans la région en 1896.
C'est une citadelle construite pour la première fois par le conquistador espagnol, Miguel López de Legazpi pour la nouvelle ville établie de Manille aux Philippines. La forteresse de défense fait partie des structures de la ville fortifiée de Manille appelée Intramuros. Nous visiterons les donjons et les fortifications fluviales.
Le sanctuaire Rizal est un musée dédié à l'œuvre de José Rizal. Le musée est situé dans le bâtiment où Rizal a passé sa dernière nuit et a caché son célèbre poème Mi último adiós (Mon dernier adieu) dans une lampe à huile. Le sanctuaire abrite divers souvenirs tels que les coquillages qu'il a recueillis à Dapitan, des livres, des manuscrits et des œuvres d'art.
C'est la première cathédrale des Philippines et basilique située à Intramuros. Il est dédié à l'Immaculée Conception, titre de la Bienheureuse Vierge Marie, principale patronne du pays.
Intramuros est aussi appelée la ville fortifiée et, à l'époque de la période coloniale espagnole, elle était synonyme de la ville de Manille. C'était le siège du gouvernement et du pouvoir politique lorsque les Philippines étaient un royaume composant de l'Empire espagnol. C'était aussi le centre de la religion, de l'éducation et de l'économie. Le mode de vie standard à Intramuros est devenu le mode de vie standard à travers les Philippines. Les galions de Manille qui ont navigué dans le Pacifique pendant 250 ans ont transporté des marchandises à destination et en provenance d'Intramuros (Manille) et d'Acapulco, au Mexique. Vous ferez le tour des remparts de la ville en calèche. (La balade en calèche a lieu lorsque le nombre total d'invités dépasse quatre.)
L'église San Agustin était l'une des quatre églises philippines construites pendant la période coloniale espagnole à être désignée site du patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO, sous le titre collectif Églises baroques des Philippines.
Casa Manila est un musée à Intramuros illustrant le mode de vie colonial pendant la colonisation espagnole des Philippines. Casa Manila est une copie d'une maison de San Nicolas des années 1850 qui était autrefois située dans la Calle Jaboneros.

Great tour. Very informative and well done. Some confusion about where to meet the guide. Would have helped to have a pin dropped from google maps. The port is very chaotic.
Thank you so much for the feedback! 💛 I’m really glad you found the tour informative and well done. And thank you for pointing out the meeting point confusion — that’s truly helpful. We’ll make sure to send a clear Google Maps pin moving forward, especially for busy areas like the port. We appreciate you joining us and hope to guide you again soon!
Ann was an excellent tour guide. Engaging story teller of the history of precolonial and colonial Philippines. I j JJ highly recommend spending time to learn about Intramuros.
Thank you so much for this lovely review! 💛 We're really glad the stories resonated with you. Intramuros has so much to tell, and it was a pleasure sharing it with you. Thank you for spending your time with us — and for the recommendation. Hope to see you again on another walk through history!
To visit a country and city loved by your guide is truly one of the most incredible things to experience. Our tour with Andre through the walled city is where both his knowledge and passion of the city was outstanding. To say we were surprised and astounded was an understatement and why you shouldn't skip Manila. We would absolutely recommend and also encourage you to tour with Anne as well who took us through the Fine Art Museum showing us the challenges of the Philippines through art. Don't Skip Manila with Andre and Anne should be on everyone's bucket list and we wish them great success.
We only had one day in Manila, and were almost guilty of what this couple are trying to stop, skipping Manila! We were so thrilled we didn’t and after doing this tour of the Intramuros, wish we had more time to do more of their tours. Andre was so knowledgeable and incredibly engaging. He’s a natural storyteller and shared the detail of Manila’s history in such a compelling and structured way. We (including two teenagers) absolutely loved this tour and highly recommend it.
Anne of Don’t Skip Manila is a delight. Her Intramuros walking tour was informative, fun, well-organized, and delicious. (thanks to the ice cream that Anne bought each of us!) We recommend this tour!
Very informative and honest history lesson as well as a beautiful exploration of intramural ! Very good tour guide and beautiful city.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the history and beauty of Intramuros. Our goal is to provide an informative and engaging experience, and we're glad you had a great time with our tour guide. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon! Thank you for not skipping Manila!
Ann was very friendly and she was very good about telling us all of the history of the area and the sites we visited. There was a good variety of sites to visit and things to do.
Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with me and appreciated our knowledge and friendliness. It’s great to know that the variety of sites and activities made for a well-rounded experience. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon!
We spent several hours touring Intramuros with our excellent guide Anne... walking, riding an open bus. She gave us so much interesting information about the Spanish walled city of Manila. We saw the cell where Jose Rizal was imprisoned, am elaborate mansion of a wealthy family, a couple of churches, the city streets. with many educational institutes. And were treated to local ice cream from a vendor.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear that you had an excellent time exploring Intramuros with me. It sounds like the mix of walking, riding the open bus, and visiting historic sites made for an enriching and memorable tour. Seeing Rizal’s cell, the grand mansion, and the bustling city streets truly brings Manila’s history to life! And of course, no tour is complete without a sweet sorbetes treat. 🍦 We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Andrei simultaneously educated and entertained us throughout. He was easy to find at the port and got us back to the ship on time. Unlike some guides Andrei definitely seemed like a history major. He was able to answer all our random questions and as curious people we tend to stump people at some point. Assuming that the quality of the guides at Don't Skip Manila are on par with Andrei - I highly recommend this tour.
First of all Andrew our guide was amazing! Personable, funny and so accommodating. Communicated well as to meeting place. So very knowledgeable about Manila the Philippines and their history. Highly recommend his tour!
