Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Pak op bij de ingang / uitgang van pier 15 en begin met je tour. Bezoek Rizal Park, genoemd ter ere van de nationale held van het land, Dr. Jose Rizal.
Na een korte fotostop ga je verder naar de historische ommuurde stad Intramuros.
Reis door de geplaveide straten in de richting van de San Agustin-kerk, de oudste stenen kerk van het land en bekijk de brede verzameling kerkelijke iconen, gewaden en andere religieuze artikelen.
Bezoek daarna Casa Manila, een reproductie van een 19e-eeuws huis uitgerust met oosterse en Europese decor, evenals Filippijnse antieke meubels.
Ga door naar Fort Santiago, Manilla's belangrijkste verdedigingslinie tegen indringers vanuit de zee.
Vanaf het fort, rijden door Quiapo, het centrale district van Manilla, vaak aangeduid als het hart van Manila met zijn markt, bedevaartskerk van de Zwarte Nazarener, jeepney-terminals en bazaars. Stop dan op de Chinese begraafplaats, waar de mausolea zo groot en uitgebreid zijn als huizen en waar fusies van boeddhistische en christelijke religies heel duidelijk aanwezig zijn. Keer terug naar de veerbootterminal aan het einde van de tour.

Basically had a private tour for 2 with guide Tony. We were able to ask lots of questions about Manila during the tour as opposed to other tour groups of 20+ people not being able unless they stayed close to their guide. Tony rearranged the order of sites to see due to the heavy city traffic which allowed more time to visit certain sites, like the American Cemetery.
Be prepared for lots of traffic but the benefit of this tour was a great driver and tour guide. Our guide was Troy who explained in detail all the things we saw. The Manila American Cemetery was so interesting and moving. After that we went to the Fort Santiago and the Intramuros where Troy got us ahead of the crowds to see the exhibits. We also saw the Cathedral. The guide was very helpful and was very considerate of my inability of doing stairs, etc. Van was very clean and had great air conditioning. Bottled water was given to us.
Absolutely marvellous day with Jonas. We have done many tours but Jonas was the best. He was very friendly and accommodating and incredibly knowledgeable. We cannot speak highly enough about our experience today. Thank you Jonas
Great day with Jonas as our guide. Jonas was a wealth of knowledge on all things Manila. He picked us up promptly and suggested several sites to see. Don’t miss China town! Really enjoyed our day with him! Thanks Jonas!
We had a great day with our guide Tony and driver Roy. Learnt a lot about the history of Manila and the Philippines . He was very informative and would recommend him if you are in Manila. Roy was very good given the traffic and we felt very safe with him.
This is a good tour at a good price. (Our cruise wanted to charge quite a bit more for a group tour.) Aimee was a fantastic guide. She is knowledgeable, funny, & relates a lot of interesting info in a conversational way. Aimee was at the port exit when we got there with my name on a sign. Travel to the memorial is by van with only the driver, guide, my husband & l. (No carriage ride included.) The traffic is terrible so the trip there & back to the other sights takes a while. Aimee will Tailor the trip to accommodate your interests so you can spend more time at the sights that interest you most. Once at the memorial and in the old town it is a walking tour, then a van ride back to the ship. I found the memorial moving, the mosaics are impressive, and the museum educational for those who don't know their WW2 history. The old church was impressive inside & the attached halls house a lot of religious artifacts (not really my cup of tea), but the ornate embroidery, pipe organ, & the medicinal naturalist room were worth a closer look (for me). Casa Manila has quite ornate donated furnishings including an actual treasure chest from the colonial period and Aimee explained how things were done or used back then (the building has no plaques describing things). Just so you know, some of what you will see in the old part of town has been recreated after Manila was mostly leveled in WW2, but that doesn't make it less interesting to me. Overall, it was a great tour! Thanks, Aimee!
Ria the tour guide was wonderful in all aspects! Recomend this tour to see and experience of the city in a short time frame.
Joshar did a wonderful job. He was very knowledgeable and energetic. We learned so much and were so pleased with the value.
