Viva a Velha Manila! : Passeio a pé por Intramuros

Un gran agradecimiento a nuestro increíble guía turístico, Cedhie. Fue increíblemente complaciente. Se coordinó con nosotros por WhatsApp y nos permitió reprogramar, y el recorrido en sí valió cada centavo. Cedhie es extremadamente paciente, amable y muy informativo. Trajo una tableta para mostrarnos fotos históricas y vistas aéreas de cómo se veía la zona en la década de 1930, haciendo que la historia de Fort Santiago e Intramuros cobrara vida. Pudimos explorar hermosos lugares emblemáticos, incluidas las históricas puertas de Fort Santiago y la impresionante Catedral de Manila. También se aseguró de que estuviéramos bien atendidos durante todo el paseo. Si visita Manila, este recorrido a pie es una actividad absolutamente imprescindible.

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.

A collective insight from our group: Had a wonderful and informative tour despite the heat. Shout out to Russell - thank you so much for the amazing tour today! Your depth of knowledge is incredible, and I loved how you connected the timeline for us. I especially appreciated your focus on the cultural sanctity of the sites; it added a layer of depth I wasn't expecting. Thanks for a memorable experience.

I can 100% recommend this tour. We learned so much about the history of Manila. Our guide Russell was awesome.... Welcoming, knowledgeable and presented at a great pace. group size: 8 guide: Russell

I am a Filipina who’s been relatively good in her history class but this tour still gave me information I didn’t learn in school. Highly suggested even to locals. Steven was our tourguide and he’s really good :) he kept the discussion very interesting. Overall, nice tour.

The tour was very worth it! We did it under a scorching heat but it was bearable because Russell (the tour guide) was so amazing and knowledgeable. As a Filipino, it was really good to be re-educated about PH history, and as for my non-Filipino partner, he appreciated knowing more about my roots and especially knowing bits and pieces of what happened in the past. Kudos to Russell! Galing!

Had such a great experience joining the Intramuros Walking Tour with *Russel* as our tour leader! He’s very friendly, kind, and easy to talk to, making the whole walk enjoyable from start to finish. Russel explained everything in a clear and detailed way. you can really tell he’s passionate and knowledgeable about Philippine history. He brought the old stories of Intramuros to life through interesting facts, humor, and local insights that made the tour not only educational but also memorable. Highly recommend joining the tour with him if you want to learn, laugh, and truly feel the history of Manila. Thank you, Russel, for such a meaningful and fun morning! 🙏 - Livia , Indonesia -

I booked a walking tour for my next written project. I'm writing a story, and it's also for historical knowledge while I'm doing my study. I really want to do location studies before writing, hahaha. And during this tour, I felt like a student again attending field trips. I missed that. How I took those trips for granted. Our guide was also kind and very knowledgeable. Our group had 10 people, which was perfect, and all of us were catered to. He's almost my neighbor here in Tondo, hahaha. It was a fun experience. I enjoyed this tour so much! It was worth the price, especially for wanderlusts. Thank you so much, Let's Go Intramuros, for letting me take part in rediscovering a rich part of Manila's history.

Steve is a great guide! He's knowledgeable and dynamic and very engaging. We had such a great time learning about Intramuros, Firt Santiago, Jose Rizal, WW2, Manila Cathedral (and its 8 builds!), and San Agustim Church. We love him so much!
