All Manila Tours & Excursions in 2026

What a fantastic most important tour. This tour went above and beyond showing how important it is for today's generation to know this history and to learn from it. It was an honor to have JB as my guide. His grandfather was a hero and survivor of the war and Death March. So it is personal for him which was the highlight of the tour. Thanks for the education on such an important topic.

Arsen was so knowledgeable about Fort Santiago - we learned so much from him about the history of the area and Manila's history of occupation and independence. The tour of Intramuros was great - just enough to get a feel for it without being overwhelmed.

We were picked up on time by an excellent car, air con perfectly set. The car/bus could hold 10 so there was plenty of room for us two, Sarah our guide and Adrian the driver. You know you have a good driver when you forget they are there, Adrian was exactly that. Sarah asked us about our likes a dislikes, which we explained quickly. She then gave us a brief outline of our day ahead. It started with a longish drive to our first stop, the volcano and lake. On tbe way we made a couple of stops, one for tbe local pie Boko and the second for some local fruits, all generously supplied by Sarah. All the stops we decided when to leave and Sarah gave a detailed insight at all tbe stops. After leaving the volcano, along with its other local attractions, we headed back towards Manila, stopping on the way to allow my partner to have a quick paddle in tbe sea, don't ask! Five major attractions around Manila, Sarah helped us climb steps, gave lots of interesting information, history, and background. We were delivered back to our ship in a timely manner, although we were pretty tired after a full day looking around Manila and the surrounding area. We take tours often, spending half our life on cruise ships, and this tour was right up there with the best. Sarah, was excellent, with destinations, knowledge, and above all, a keen desire to deliver the best possible experience to her customers. All delivered with charm and efficiency. Thank you Sarah (and Adrian).

Pick up at the cruise terminal gate was fairly straightforward. Glenn was our tour guide for the day & he made sure we got to see all the sights. We learned so much about the history of the Philippines & the impact Jose Rizal made on the country. Jericho was our driver & he did a great job navigating the traffic which was an absolute nightmare. Our first stop was the American cemetery, which took quite some time to get to because of the traffic, then we made our way back into the city & walked around Rizal Park before heading to our walking tour of intramuros. The guys had us back to the Port in plenty of time. It was a great day but travellers must be patient with the traffic. It's the worst we've ever seen!

An eclectic tour of some interesting foods (delicious fruit!), a fascinating market, and the incredible views from the the People’s Park in the Sky. Travel times are over an hour, but I think worth it (bring a book). Friendly and knowledgeable guides. The only improvement I’d suggest is to time the People’s Park visit (the final stop) to include the sunset, since we left just before (afternoon tour).

This was an incredible day trip with our guide Edwin! Booking the private tour was absolutely worth it since we had the flexibility to go at our own pace and take bathroom breaks as needed given it is a long day in the car. Pagsanjan Falls was absolutely incredible! The guides paddle and pull you up river through 17 rapids in a canoe while you sit and enjoy the view. The last 50 meters or so you transfer to a bamboo raft that will take you directly under the waterfall to the cave behind it. I don't know if it was just our luck but a huge benefit of the private tour was that we felt like we had the whole river to ourselves. Just as we were finishing a different large tour group was just starting with a dozen or so canoes at the same time. The whole experience took about 12 hours but it was well worth it. Edwin made the journey enjoyable, flexible and had great communication which made all the difference for the long day!

Bring a bathing suit and walking shoes if you want to go up to the waterfall, not just relax in the 3 different areas of hidden pools along the trail. Amazing place, great break from the city. Loved it. The food was great too. Our guide was charming answered all our questions about the Philippines even those not on the tour!! Our driver was great saved our life with his fantastic skills.

Really enjoyed our tour our guides were very informative and our driver was very good. On our trip to the volcano Ken our guide was very helpful he told us alot about the volcano and the area and the driver of the boat was very good. I would highly recommend the tour
