I had looked at the map and we probably could have walked from the cruise port, pier 15, but I am so glad we didn’t. There was a lot of traffic, vendors trying to sell rides/tours. It was great having prearranged transportation to the Kalesa. Our driver, Jhon (Arnie) did a great job sharing info with us via WhatsApp and communicating with us the day of the ride. Our Kalesa driver, Ramon, was very helpful and stopped at perfect places As a hire owner myself I appreciated that he had trained the horse, owned it, and was the farrier. I enjoyed finding out more about the Kalesa horses. We saw far more of Intramuros/Old Manila then we would have on a walking tour.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that John (Arbie) and Ramon made your experience seamless and enjoyable. It’s great to know you appreciated the prearranged transportation and the Kalesa ride, as well as learning more about the horses and exploring Intramuros. We’re glad you were able to see so much more than a typical walking tour, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour soon!
