Russell explained the history of Manila in great detail, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. He was also very attentive, caring, and thoughtful throughout the tour. His passion for sharing knowledge and the way he looked after everyone made the experience even more special. I truly appreciated his kindness and the effort he put into making sure we had a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

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!

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 👍👍

I initially got anxious because I was not yet contacted for driver details and its already a before the booked date. I called the contact numbers provided and they were very responsive. Driver then called to confirm in the afternoon. During the trip, our driver, Sir Glenn, was very nice, helpful and respectful. He allowed us to take control of our itinerary, especially considering that we have senior citizens and a toddler in our group. We had an amazing time with our Baguio Tour. It was exhausting but totally worth it.

Meet up was at Starbucks One E-Com Center. The driver picked us up on time. On the way to Tagaytay, my cousin felt unwell in the car and threw up a little, but the driver was very nice about it and even cleaned the mess for us. The trip went really well and we enjoyed it a lot. We skipped some places on the itinerary because after lunch we all felt exhausted and just wanted to rest and head home. Other than that, everything went smoothly. Kudos to the driver — I didn’t catch his name, but he was very kind 👍

What to know before visiting Manila

What Manila is known for

Manila’s most-booked experiences on Klook show a mix of family-friendly and cultural options: Zoos & aquariums lead the way, followed by Museums, Attraction passes, Water parks and Tours. Demand follows the year’s rhythm, with a clear summer peak in June and quieter pockets in October, according to Klook booking data. That pattern means travellers can pair sightseeing and hands-on attractions with seasonal events and school holidays. Decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or easier planning and lower crowds — Klook booking data helps time which months suit each mood.

When to visit Manila

June is Manila’s busiest month, with demand rising about 32% above a typical month, while October is the quietest, roughly 25% below usual levels, per Klook booking data. Prices drift through the year: the median paid on Klook is typically lowest in July–September at PHP 714, then rises toward a priciest median in December at PHP 1,011. Where demand and price align, expect a lively, more expensive visit in December; where they diverge — for example, June has high demand but prices not at the December level — you’ll find peak atmosphere without the absolute highest prices. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider July–September; for peak-season buzz, aim for June or December.

Month Demand Level Typical Price
January About average PHP 951
February Busier than usual PHP 951
March About average PHP 951
April About average PHP 951
May Busier than usual PHP 892
June Busier than usual PHP 892
July About average PHP 714
August Quieter than usual PHP 714
September About average PHP 714
October Quieter than usual PHP 773
November About average PHP 773
December About average PHP 1,011

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers from the Philippines book experiences at short notice—typically 1 day ahead—but some plan a little earlier, about three days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can stay flexible and still secure popular activities close to your trip; note that June and December are busier months when booking earlier pays. Use Klook to compare pass options for museums and attraction bundles, and to lock in family-friendly zoo, aquarium and water park entries. Book when you know your dates, but don’t worry if you prefer last-minute plans—many Manila experiences remain bookable a day ahead.
