Booked the Viva Old Manila Walking Tour through Klook and had a great experience. Our guide, Russell, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative, sharing fascinating stories and historical insights throughout the tour. We visited 8 stops around Intramuros, and each location came with its own unique history and significance. What I appreciated most was how Russell connected the stories to present-day Manila, making the tour both engaging and educational. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Manila and wanting to gain a deeper understanding of the city's rich history and culture.

We left at 5:00 AM and arrived in Tagaytay at 6:45 AM. It was a pleasant ride all the way. We visited People’s Park in the Sky, Tagaytay Picnic Grove, Museo Orlina, Sunflower Farmville, The Gingerbread House, Twin Lakes, and Sky Ranch. For lunch, we went to Balay Dako. We finished by 3:30 PM as we didn’t intend to spend the entire day there. I would definitely recommend.

This tour is really nice and I recommend you book it. Our tour guide Sir Cedhie is very informative and very nice. He is very good in communicating about the tour and also shaeing all the history facts about Philippines. Also he answered all the questions asked by the tour participants. This is good for international travellers because the language he used is English. 10/10 for this tour 👍👍

What a joy it was to discover Intramuros through Bambike. I picked the extended tour and it was a perfect way to explore as the distance between the spots are a little far to walk. Being on the bike made it both efficient and breezy. Samantha was my guide for the day and she had so much knowledge at each spot - along with fun facts that really made each stop a lot more memorable as sometimes they aren't very interesting to look at per se. She also brought along a folio of pictures that really help contextualised the entire experience with references to timelines and examples. While there are a few traffic crossings that are busier, Samantha always made sure that my safety was a priority and used hand signals to convey any directional change. Finishing the tour with some local ice-cream and ice cold towel was so refreshing. The bike looked a little kooky but worked really smoothly. All the staff are friendly, warm, and helpful. Top notch initiative!

The driver was very punctual and thoughtfully asked if I had any shopping needs, which he was happy to accommodate. After experiencing the full itinerary at the location, I realized it was completely different from typical rafting. It was my first time experiencing a human-powered boat going against the current.

The ocean was absolutely beautiful, and it was a truly wonderful experience! We were able to enjoy a peaceful time on a less crowded beach. We booked the day before after another plan was canceled, and they were very flexible and accommodating. The guide and driver were also very kind. Thank you very much! 💕

What to know before visiting Manila

Quick snapshot of Manila’s visitor rhythm

Manila draws most bookings for family-friendly experiences such as zoos & aquariums, museums and attraction passes, with water parks and city tours also popular. Demand rises and falls through the year, with a clear busy spike in January and quieter stretches around March and April.

Best months to visit and how prices behave

Klook booking data show January as the peak month for demand and March as the trough. Prices drift relatively gently through much of the year but climb noticeably toward the year-end: December shows the highest typical prices while July sits at the lower end. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, aim for the trough months around March–April or July; for peak-season atmosphere, plan for January or December when demand and prices are higher. Overall, demand and price move broadly together at the high and low points, with year-end standing out as pricier.

Tips for travellers

Most experiences in Manila can be booked very close to travel: Klook data show travellers typically book about a day in advance and last-minute bookings are common. That makes the city well suited to spontaneous plans, but if you’re travelling in the peak months named above it’s still wise to lock in must-have tickets a few days early. Search Klook for flexible options and secure popular activities a little ahead when you travel during busier periods.
