Loved our Intramuros walking tour with Andre! I went to school in Manila in the late 70s and studied Jose Rizal as part of our high school curriculum, and boy did I learn more about Jose Rizal and the history of Intramuros during this walking tour! The program for this 3-3.5 hr tour was just right – walking with visits to dungeons, talks under a mango tree and other shaded spots, kalesa ride, quick visits to the 2 churches, and even a sorbetes (dirty ice-cream ????) snack break in-between. Andre who’s passionate sharing his knowledge about this part of history kept us engaged the whole time. Whatever my family and I learned, we were still discussing it even after the tour ended! Thank you so much Andre and Don’t Skip Manila! Folks!...this is definitely a tour not to be skipped!
