What you can expect
Discover the rich history, culture, and heritage of the Philippines on this half-day Manila City Tour, featuring the iconic landmarks of Intramuros, the country's famous national monuments, and a traditional Kalesa (horse-drawn carriage) ride.
Rizal Park (Luneta Park)
Begin your journey at Rizal Park, one of the Philippines' most significant historical landmarks. Covering approximately 60 hectares, this beautiful urban park features landscaped gardens, monuments, fountains, and open green spaces. It is also the site where Philippine national hero Dr. José Rizal was executed in 1896, an event that inspired the country's fight for independence.
Fort Santiago
Step inside Fort Santiago, one of Manila's most important historical sites. Built by the Spanish in 1571 within the walls of Intramuros, this centuries-old fortress guarded the entrance to the Pasig River and played a vital role throughout the Spanish colonial era, World War II, and Philippine history.
The Historic Dungeons
Explore the historic dungeons beneath Fort Santiago, originally constructed as a powder magazine for storing gunpowder during the Spanish colonial period. Learn about the site's fascinating history while separating historical facts from popular myths.
Casa Manila Museum
Travel back in time at Casa Manila, a meticulously reconstructed Spanish colonial mansion that recreates the elegant lifestyle of an affluent Filipino family during the 19th century. Admire antique furniture, period décor, and authentic artefacts that reflect Manila's colonial heritage.
Manila Cathedral
Visit the magnificent Manila Cathedral, the premier Roman Catholic cathedral in the Philippines and the official seat of the Archbishop of Manila. Located in Plaza Roma, this historic church has been rebuilt several times following earthquakes and wars, symbolising the resilience of the Filipino people.
San Agustin Church (UNESCO World Heritage Site)
Explore the stunning San Agustin Church, the oldest stone church in the Philippines. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and recognised as one of the Baroque Churches of the Philippines, it is celebrated for its remarkable architecture, intricate interiors, and centuries of religious and cultural significance.
Traditional Kalesa Ride
Experience the charm of Old Manila aboard a traditional Kalesa, a horse-drawn carriage that once served as the primary mode of transport during the Spanish colonial era. Ride through the cobblestone streets of Intramuros while admiring its beautifully preserved colonial architecture.
Visit the Philippines' Oldest Distillery
Complete your cultural journey with a visit to the oldest distillery in the Philippines, where you'll learn about the country's long tradition of spirit-making. Discover local craftsmanship, explore its fascinating history, and gain insight into one of Manila's oldest industries.
