The journey is long but the scenery is beautiful, making it perfect for those with time to spare. There are many activities, but before you go, be sure to confirm the departure time and pickup location with the driver. I had scheduled for around 9 AM, but the driver hadn't properly confirmed the order, so I was picked up an hour and a half late. However, the driver was very skilled, so we still managed to arrive without too much delay.

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! 💕

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.

Excellent tour! Our guide, Christian, was extremely passionate about the history of Intramuros and shared us many stories. She took very good care of us and one of the best tour guides we ever had! We covered all the historical sites and there was even a support assistant to help with the traffic. The tour included a drink midway, ice cream and cold towel at the end, so well thought out! Highly recommended!

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 to know before visiting Manila

Quick city snapshot and popular experiences

Manila is a bustling urban destination where bookings cluster around activities like zoos & aquariums, museums, attraction passes and water parks. Demand on Klook peaks in January and falls to a low in September, so the city’s rhythm swings between a busy start of year and a much quieter late-winter period.

Best times to visit and how prices move

Klook booking data shows January is the busiest month while September sees the lightest demand. Prices typically drift through the year: they’re usually lowest around August and reach their highest on average in December. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in August or September; for peak-season atmosphere and more activity choose January or the December holiday period. Note that demand and price don’t always move in lockstep here—December can be pricier even though the busiest single month is January.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most experiences in Manila can be booked at short notice—Klook data shows travellers often book about a day out, with last-minute bookings common. If you prefer planning, consider locking in any must-do tickets a few days in advance, especially for travel around January and the December holiday period. Use Klook to check availability and secure entry for popular categories like zoos, museums and water parks.
