    I had looked at the map and we probably could have walked from the cruise port, pier 15, but I am so glad we didn’t. There was a lot of traffic, vendors trying to sell rides/tours. It was great having prearranged transportation to the Kalesa. Our driver, Jhon (Arnie) did a great job sharing info with us via WhatsApp and communicating with us the day of the ride. Our Kalesa driver, Ramon, was very helpful and stopped at perfect places As a hire owner myself I appreciated that he had trained the horse, owned it, and was the farrier. I enjoyed finding out more about the Kalesa horses. We saw far more of Intramuros/Old Manila then we would have on a walking tour.

It’s great to know you appreciated the prearranged transportation and the Kalesa ride, as well as learning more about the horses and exploring Intramuros.
