Fun exploring Intramuros on a bike!
Fun to be on a bike in Manila, and that it feels like sustainable tourism. Great way to explore Intramuros! Note: while most tours include the guide sending a welcome message with reminder about meeting point, this tour did not. Traffic can be crazy, so make sure to allow more time than you think to get to Bambikes Ecotours.

A must for a history enthusiast!
A very unique tour! I was totally clueless to filipino culture before this excursion, my guide Christian was very knowledgeable & explained everything in detail. The bamboo bicycles was main reason for booking the tour, cause that’s unique on its own, but the history about this country is fascinating.

A Must-Do Experience in Manila!
What an amazing experience! I'm so glad I booked this tour. I was only in the Philippines for a couple of days, and on my last day before flying home I wanted to do something that would help me experience and understand the history of this beautiful country. This tour exceeded every expectation. Our guide, Prime, was exceptional. He has an incredible gift for bringing history to life, sharing his extensive knowledge in a way that was engaging, insightful and genuinely funny. I learned so much while laughing along the way. Riding a bamboo bike through the streets of Intramuros was an adventure in itself! Prime made sure we felt confident navigating the bustling streets, sharing plenty of practical tips and tricks along the way. The tour struck the perfect balance of being informative and active, and those fans were an absolute lifesaver! You don't realise just how hot Manila is until you stop riding. If you're visiting Manila, I can't recommend this tour highly enough. It's a fantastic way to see Intramuros, learn about the Philippines' fascinating history, and enjoy a truly unique experience.

It was a very immersive...
It was a very immersive way to learn about the site and its history. Our tour guide, Prime, kept us very safe and provided clear instructions and had a very deep well of knowledge that was evident throughout. We even got cold towels and ice cream after our tour!

Highly recommended
I first did this tour about two years ago, and when we recently returned to the Philippines with family, we decided to do it again. It was the best decision we all absolutely loved it! The tour was an incredible upgrade from my first visit. The bikes were comfortable, the route was well planned with plenty of stops along the way, and our tour guide was friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and always happy to help. He also took excellent photos for us. I really appreciated the little touches that made the experience even better. We were offered sunscreen and insect repellent before we started, there was plenty of cold water throughout the tour to keep everyone hydrated, and at the end we were given refreshing cold towels to cool down, followed by a delicious ice cream. Overall, the tour was exceptionally well organised, informative, and a lot of fun. You can really see the care and effort that goes into making it a great experience for everyone. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Enjoyable ride & historic tour
Super enjoyable tour around lots of the historic sights in Intramuros. Chi was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, checked in with us regularly along the way. Bikes are very easy to maneuver, ride is flat, wind from the ride definitely keeps you cooler as you pass by all the walking tours! Refreshing beverage and sweet treat at the end also keeps you hydrated and cool. My group was full of solo travellers - can see this being fun for groups of all sizes. It was all in all a great way to learn some of the history of the area - definitely recommend.
