Perfect walking tour in Manila

Philip_R, Feb 2026
We thought about walking around Manila’s Intramuros neighborhood and Rizal Park on our own… but it was so much better having a guide to give explanations and details! Kuya Pepe, our guide, and City Unscripted did a great job.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

We’re so glad you chose to explore Intramuros and Rizal Park with a local host — having those stories and details along the way really makes all the difference! It means a lot to know the experience made your time in Manila even better.
