Full description

Get on your bamboo bike made by local craftsmen to explore all major historical sites of Intramuros, the historical district of Manila. Start your tour by picking the best bambike that fits you. Start your tour with the guide by riding to Plaza San Luis, a complex inside Intramuros where you can find a Japanese cannon used in World War II. Spend time listening to your guide's explanation about Intramuros's history at Puerta Real Gardens, surrounded by local fauna. The next stop is Puerta Del Parian, one of the earliest gateways to Intramuros.

I enjoyed it though it was only 1.5 hours long, the bikes were very convenient and it was fun to cycle through Intramuros. I love that they provided cold towels after the tour as it was really hot and humid that day. They offered free ice cream at the end of the tour which is a nice touch but there weren't any dairy free options available which is a pity as I couldn't have any ice cream.

スペイン･アメリカ･日本とフィリピンの歴史を現存する建築物と共に紹介してもらった。自転車で回れる距離に建築物があり、ガイドに丁寧に紹介してもらった。現在のフィリピンの発展の背景を学ぶことが出来た。想像以上に悲惨な惨劇が繰り広げられてたけれど、20年足らずで発展したフィリピンの力強さを感じるツアーになった。自転車で街中を走るのはとても楽しかった。ローカルの 仲間入りをした気分。

Ondanks de hitte, hebben we een mooie tour gereden en heb ik het gevoel dat ik de oude gedeelte van Manila heb gezien én de geschiedenis ken. Onze gids vertelde met veel enthousiasme waardoor we her verhaal goed konden volgen. Wat wij ook erg leuk vinden is dat dit bedrijf met stagiaires werkt!
