Awesome Bike Tour of Intramuros - The bike tour was such a wonderful way to explore Intramuros. We started at Casa Manila and I think we went to about 7 or 8 stops, including several churches and Fort Santiago. At each stop we got to walk around and explore. Our guide, Kyla, was extremely knowledgeable and was great at answering questions. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was very engaging. I was a little nervous riding across intersections, but the company does a great job navigating traffic and making sure all attendees cross safely.

Amazing tour very easy flat ride - We are a couple from Manchester, UK, and we cannot recommend the Bambike Ecotours bamboo bike experience in Intramuros highly enough – it was genuinely one of the most unique, fun and memorable excursions we’ve ever done in the Philippines. From the moment our wonderful guide Justine greeted us with a warm smile at the Casa Manila meeting point and helped us choose our handmade bamboo bikes, we knew we were in for something special.
Justine was an absolute star – the perfect Bambassador! His knowledge of Manila’s Spanish colonial history is encyclopedic, but what really stood out was how he brought the old walled city to life with such enthusiasm, humour and genuine passion. Pedalling through the cobbled streets and along the ancient walls felt magical, and Justine made every stop fascinating. At Fort Santiago he shared moving stories of its dramatic past that gave us goosebumps, while at Manila Cathedral and the beautiful plazas he pointed out little details we would have completely missed on our own. He kept the pace relaxed and safe, made sure we all stayed together in our small group, and was so patient with our questions and photo stops.
The bamboo bikes themselves were brilliant – sturdy, surprisingly comfortable and such a lovely eco-friendly touch. Justine was brilliant at giving tips on the ride and even cracked a few jokes to keep everyone smiling through the heat. We loved the little extras too: plenty of filtered water refills, a refreshing cold towel at the end, and that surprise local ice cream treat which hit the spot perfectly.
Everything ran like clockwork from start to finish – professional, safe, and with that personal touch that made the whole day feel like a lovely adventure with a friend rather than just another tour. Five-star service and a five-star experience all the way. If you’re in Manila, do not miss this! It’s the best way to see the historic heart of the city.
Thank you so much, Justine – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Prime for the win! - We were very impressed by Prime’s hospitality, knowledge, politeness and consideration of the kids in the group. We would definitely recommend this for families with children old enough to bike.

10 Stars if we could - This was one of our favorite experiences in the Philippines. Not only do you get to learn about one the oldest regions in the Philippines but it is put together in a way that is captivating and fun. Not to mention it is supporting a company that is both passionate about what they do, educating its customers and providing jobs to people who wouldn't otherwise have them. Chi, our guide, is very knowledgeable and passionate about Intramuros, and the Philippines as a whole. They also make sure everyone is safe the whole time. They are awesome, we highly recommend doing this.

Josh Rocks!!! - This was a fairly easy bike ride around various historical spots within the walled city. Our guide, Josh, was excellent in displaying to us, on his iPad, the various stages of destruction and rebuilding which occurred during certain wars and reigns of Britain, the Spanish, Japan and the USA. The day was fully enjoyed by those of us in our small group of five. Josh communicates well in English and the tour was more than ample time to see the sights and get a good understanding.

A good trip to experience the history of Intramuros - It was a relaxing, fun and informative tour. Our tour guide Justin was knowledgeable and shared the history of Intramuros. Bamboo bicycles easy to ride. Not strenuous. Just bike a bit, walk a bit & stop to hear history
