Best Walking Tour - Possibly Best Walking Tour Anywhere (and we have done many all over the world). We met our guide Mari at Figaro Coffee. Mari gave us an excellent overview / presentation while we enjoyed Figaro’s excellent coffee. Mari gave an excellent presentation on the history to start with, blended with her humour: it was excellent. This was followed by a walking tour of Intramuros where Mari expanded on what we had learned, again with humour added. I can’t say enough how much we enjoyed the tour. Thank you again Mari!

Intramuros at your own pace! - We had a fantastic time on our Intramuros walking tour! Our guide, Victor, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, answering all our questions and sharing stories that you just won't find in a guidebook. While the price point felt a bit high initially, the value of having a private tour became clear immediately—we could go at our own pace and focus on the sites that interested us most. Definitely worth it for the personalized experience!

Guided tour through intramuros - Victor was an informative and attentive guide. If you are visiting from outside of the Philippines, this is a good way of learning about the cultural and historical background of intramuros. Many areas I would not have recognised the significance of, or how to find them, without assistance. Casa Manila was a particular highlight, with its intricate decor.

Went through all the... - Went through all the landmarks and got a good summary of each location. The guide was very kind and accommodating. He gave us umbrellas when it started raining and gave us water.
