What to expect
Combining exciting adventures with educational ecotourism, a Bambike tour during your trip to Manila is surely something you'll never forget. Join this exciting tour and hop on a one-of-a-kind bike that's made with natural bamboo, abaca materials, and aircraft-grade aluminum for the connection points. Every bike is made by hand by craftsmen dubbed as Bambuilders, which can take up to four months or more each! Pedal all around Intramuros, the historic walled area within Manila, and see the historic sites of this ancient citadel founded in 1571. Learn about the unique history of the Philippines, particularly during the Spanish colonial era, as you explore the area with your local guide that speaks both English and Filipino. Visit at least five different sites, including Fort Santiago, used as the defense fortress of the city, as well as the San Agustin Church, which has been rebuilt three times due to wars and natural disasters. You'll even get to bike on top of the walls of Intramuros, which offers a great view of one of the oldest parts of Manila!

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!
Highly recommend. What a fantastic experience. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and to take a big group around Intramuros and relay the history of each section of the tour was amazing. In retrospect, we should have booked the full 3 hour tour. But the express tour is excellent to do with young children. Such a great way to explore Intramuros. The bikes are also such a great sustainable initiative. I wish I could purchase one to bring home to Australia.
Paolo was amazing! funny! informative! it was a great experience and we enjoyed learning about the history of intramuros. easy bike ride and felt very safe with all the scooters and cars. highly recommend.
We had a great time biking around Intramuros. It was fun reviewing our history and also learning something new about it. The staff of Bambike Eco Tours were very accommodating as well (from the front desk to choosing our preferred bikes). Kudos to Chi and Kyla for guiding us throughout the tour! Chi was able to explain the details of the places we went very clearly while Kyla made sure that we were able to bike thru the open roads safely. They also provided free refreshments in the middle of the tour and ice cream by the end of it; both of which were excellent. All in all, I would highly recommend this tour.
We really enjoyed our time. The guide was great and the tour was fun. I would recommend this for people who want to bike around Intramuros and learn the history of all the different spots. Also Free ice cream.
LOVE IT!! ❤️ I went together with my friends and this tour has been very informative and memorable. SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR TOURGUIDE, KUYA PAULO!! 👏 we started the tour by choosing our bikes. the staffs helped us get the bike we preferred and adjusted the seats according to our preference. as we tour around intramuros, we are also accompanied by an another staff that helped us by stopping cars as we pass intersections and checked that no one is left behind. we already planned to take s tour in intramuros but thank God that we chose to tour with bikes! navigating within intramuros by using bikes is very helpful. can't imagine going to all the sites purely walking. our tourguide, kuya paulo, speaks clearly and shows us pictures for us to better appreciate the history behind. he is also very helpful in taking our pictures. well taken pictures!! the tour ended with refreshing cold towels and icecream of our choice flavor. by the way, AVOCADO flavor is sooooo good! tastes like real avocado 💚
we had such an amazing experience with this Bambike Tour, im filipino and my partner is German, and we both equally enjoyed this tour. We found out that this experience not only give you an educational experience of Manila's history, but also help kids, thru these proceeds, from the Gawad Kalinga foundation, give them a good and quality education. Special mention to JD, our awesome guide! High regards to the experience, and to the tour guide!❤️🙏🏽
This was such a fun activity! Thanks to Chi for being a great guide—so informative and very easy to engage with. (Just a plus—I’m more confident with my biking skills after this 🤭) Highly recommend this tour! Too bad the weather did not cooperate, but it was still enjoyable.
The location is in Intramuros, inside the Cathedral of St. Augustine, but it is not directly opposite, but on the side, but it is not difficult to find because there are many people. The service staff is very friendly, and it is easy to get help quickly. You can also choose your favorite bamboo bicycle, there are three types to choose from. If you have a bag, don’t worry because there are basket bicycles. There is also a toilet in the store, so you don’t have to worry about finding it. The tour started on time. My guide Chi was very friendly and professional. Although the explanation was faster, it was also very clear. He was happy to answer the questions that I didn’t understand, or the terms in Spanish or Tagalog. From casa manila to the many attractions in Intramuros, everything was very detailed and clear. Through understanding the history and past developments, my connection with Manila entered a deeper emotional level. In the middle, I arranged a stop to the rooftop of the Bayleaf Hotel to enjoy the sunset, and there was a cold drink, which was really great! All the staff were very friendly and friendly. I highly recommend a sunset tour, absolutely no regrets!
We really enjoyed the tour; the bikes were in very good condition. The route was excellent, and the staff was always attentive to everyone in the group throughout the tour. Above all, Paolo provided excellent information.
