Highlights

Meet us at Bambike HQ located in Casa Manila Complex. It is a copy of an 1850 house, modeled after Spanish colonial architecture. Best to come at least 30 minutes before the tour as our Bambike guides will help you choose the perfect Bambike. There are a wide variety of Bambikes for different rider builds and each Bambike is unique! We will begin the briefing on how the Bambikes are made and the local community that it supports. We will then head out on Bambikes (bamboo bikes) through the major historical and cultural attractions within Intramuros! The sites we will visit includes the Fort Santiago, Plaza Roma, Puerta del Parian and many more. Our guides are very knowledgeable about Philippine history, cultures, stories, jokes! One of our Bambike ride highlights is an Intramuros wall ride! Filipino refreshments are available back at our HQ that will complement your educational workout. \n\nPoints of Interest\n\n- Real Street

Great place to bring Foreigner Friends and Family - Insightful tour even for a local. Jonathan, our tour guide, not only narrated the history of Intramuros but the prevailing political climate that led to certain decisions and actions. Very friendly and helpful crew. Kudos to Mark who powered my pedicab and allow me to photograph my family on their bikes :-) A fun way to get around

Just right. - The duration for the Express tour at 1.5 hours was just right. The stops were appropriate and the pace was easy without any difficulties in riding the bike. The tour guide was well informed and it was very informative

Good way to see the old city - Using a bicycle is a good way to see the walled old city. There are few cars and its a safe tour. Our Guide, Stephen, was knowledgeable and engaging. I like that the bikes are made at a commune in the Philippines.

Very good with bit of tweaking - The bambike tour was very interesting and informative. Although, we could have taken more time to absorb the location after the brief talk at the places where we stopped.

Tour quality drops - After positive tour in 2018, I repeated the experience of bambo-bike. As 5 years ago tour was almost perfect, this time it will not arrive to the sufficient rate. Start was delayed by 15 minutes bur finished 11 am as scheduled. Initial Less stops, less explainations (and more confused), only 5 minutes each stop. Express tour will end at main cathedral when the next stop is saint Augustin church in front of the shop. It makes more sense finishing there. Evidenty business growed and parallely the quality decreased. It must be considered different options in Manila intramuros.
