This is a half-day historical tour of Intramuros, the walled city of Manila. Our tour is in storytelling format that talks about the important events that shaped the Philippines. If you only have half-a-day to spend and wanted to hear story more than the fast-paced picture-taking city tours, this is the tour for you and your group. This is a history-and-culture-anchored tour that involves part walking, horse-back riding (when there are more than 4 tourists) and museum visits. We curated this tour to tell more than 400 years of history in less than 4 hours.

The standard way of life in Intramuros became the standard way of life throughout the Philippines. The Manila Galleons which sailed the Pacific for 250 years, carried goods to and from Intramuros (Manila) and Acapulco, Mexico. You will go around the walls of the city in a horse-drawn carriage ride. (The horse-carriage ride is when the total guest exceeds four.)

To visit a country and city loved by your guide is truly one of the most incredible things to experience. Our tour with Andre through the walled city is where both his knowledge and passion of the city was outstanding. To say we were surprised and astounded was an understatement and why you shouldn't skip Manila. We would absolutely recommend and also encourage you to tour with Anne as well who took us through the Fine Art Museum showing us the challenges of the Philippines through art. Don't Skip Manila with Andre and Anne should be on everyone's bucket list and we wish them great success.

We only had one day in Manila, and were almost guilty of what this couple are trying to stop, skipping Manila! We were so thrilled we didn’t and after doing this tour of the Intramuros, wish we had more time to do more of their tours. Andre was so knowledgeable and incredibly engaging. He’s a natural storyteller and shared the detail of Manila’s history in such a compelling and structured way. We (including two teenagers) absolutely loved this tour and highly recommend it.

Anne of Don’t Skip Manila is a delight. Her Intramuros walking tour was informative, fun, well-organized, and delicious. (thanks to the ice cream that Anne bought each of us!) We recommend this tour!
