Fantastic 5.0
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.

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!

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 👍👍

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.

Great 4.0
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.

What to know before visiting Manila

Manila at a glance: what to expect year-round

Manila’s Klook bookings are dominated by 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, peaking in June and dipping toward October, so you’ll find a mix of busy weekends and quieter stretches depending on timing.

Best months to visit and how prices move

Klook data show demand peaks in June and is lowest in October. Prices are lowest around July through September and climb toward December, with December typically the priciest month on Klook. If you want smaller crowds and lower prices, consider travel in July–September; for peak-season atmosphere, aim for June when activity is highest. Overall, demand and prices diverge briefly: June sees strong demand while the cheapest prices tend to fall slightly later in July–September.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most experiences in Manila can be booked at short notice—Klook bookings typically happen about a day out, and last-minute options are commonly available. If you plan to travel in June, consider locking in popular family attractions a few days earlier to secure preferred times; otherwise, being flexible a day or two before works well. Use Klook to compare and reserve activities ahead when you want specific time slots, or wait until the day for spontaneous plans.
