Excellent, very informative and interesting. I went in not knowing a lot about the Philippines history however, feeling a lot more confident now. Our guide Angji was very welcoming and knowledgeable. Didn’t rush us but also kept the tour going at a good pace. It’s a great way to see the walled city and perfect amount of time. Also provided sun cream and bug spray which I really appreciated and was a nice touch. The ice cream at the end was the perfect way to end the tour. Very well organized and professional would definitely recommend!!

The tour was a lot of fun. One reason for this was our guide Paolo, who explained the history of each stop with great enthusiasm and joy and illustrated it with pictures. Even though Manila's streets can be chaotic, everything went smoothly. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent are provided on site. After the tour, cold towels and ice cream were provided. Overall, the tour is highly recommended and a good alternative way to get to know Intramuros.
