This tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Steven, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. Even though it rained during part of our tour, he made sure we still had a fantastic experience and didn’t miss a thing. His energy and passion for the city truly made the day special.
I would 100% do this tour again.
A huge bonus: the tour included transportation, which made everything seamless—especially since I was staying in Makati. Not having to think about logistics allowed me to fully enjoy the experience.
If you’re considering it, book it. Manila (intramuros) is worth it.

This was a great interactive deep dive into the history of Manila and the Philippines. Anne our guide was very knowledgeable. Don’t miss Manila is a must…

I have always wanted to see Intramuros and learn more about its history (even briefly through a tour). With this particular tour, I can now check off one of my bucket list items. My main takeaway for me is why I should be proud of my Filipino ancestors, my Filipino culture and ethnicity. I am more appreciative of Intramuros itself, its key role in Philippine history; I have more respect for the Filipinos who lived through the Spanish, American, and Japanese occupations, especially those who risked their lives for independence; I am more in awe of Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero, who inspired (and still inspiring) many Filipinos to love the motherland. There were moments in the tour where I became emotional listening to our tour guide. I believe that it was also the knowledge and passion of our tour guide, Andrei, who made this tour a wonderful and memorable experience for me and my friends. His "music" also added to the mood of the tour. I think an Intramuros tour should be offered in schools. Well, it should even be advertised to the local barangays so people can see and hear for themselves about an important piece (and place) of history. This tour will kindle (and rekindle) one's patriotism, one's love for the Philippines. My friends and I were glad we joined this tour. Kudos to Andrei for this unforgettable experience.

It was a wonderful day discovering Manila’s history! Andre is so knowledgeable and such a nice guy. His passion for his city and his country are infectious. He even treated us all to some cheese and avocado ice cream, which was a really nice touch on a very hot and humid day.
Highly recommend Don’t Skip Manila Tours!

Andrei is an enthusiastic and engaged guide. Highly recommended. Be prepared for high heat and humidity in June thought.

Andrei is a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Great communication, and smooth transportation arrangements. An excellent experience all around!
Monica_P, May 2024
It was a great initiation tour. Andrey, the guide, talked about history with pictures and even a speaker with related music for the story mood.
Julia_T, Mar 2024
Well worth it, very good for us westerners to hear the full history of Manila. Informative, at times funny and very moving. Our guide was brilliant.
LeeAnne_T, Jan 2024
An informative and entertaining tour of old Manila which included pick up from my hotel in Taguig. Andre is very knowledgeable and engaging guide who has an in-depth knowledge of history.
Robert_T, Dec 2023
History tours can get boring quick, but this is the most engaging tour I have ever been in. Our tour guide, Andre, was animated, informative, and funny! He brought back life to Old Manila and I am grateful to have been able to book this tour.

Andre was a fantastic tour guide! He was not only knowledgeable of the history of Manila, he was quite entertaining. His passion for his city and country was notable and infectious. I would highly recommend his company “Don’t Skip Manila”. It’s a true gem!!

We had a great tour with Andrei. He was both knowledgeable and fun. We learned a lot about the history of Manila. The only negative was the horse drawn carriage ride (not with Andrei), because we couldn't hear what the driver was saying and had difficulty seeing what he was pointing to. Overall, however, a great tour.
Edith_M, Jan 2020
Andrea, our guide, was the best. So knowledgeable, but humorous as well. The tour was very informative and interesting. A great way to learn about the history of Manila.
Karen_A, May 2019
We had a 17 hour layover in Manila on our trip home from Bali. So I decide to "Not Skip Manila" and do the Intramuros Tour. The tour guide Andre' was fantastic and he was full of fun facts. He was so knowledgeable about the history of Manila. The bonus was the ice cream treat. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has a long layover in Manila.

La excursión fantástica. Lo único que el Gobierno filipino debiera reformar Intramuros, está bastante mal conservado.
