Bataan Death March Tour
This was a wonderful experience. We enjoyed a full day of history. There is a three hour travel time from Manila, but it wasn’t too bad.
Response from the operator: Thank you Jerome and Joy! Im happy to know you enjoyed the tour!

JB brings both personal...
JB brings both personal family history and extensive knowledge of the area and historical events. I took down notes because I didn’t want to lose any of the wealth of information he was sharing! In my case, I was visiting Bataan because it’s where my grandfather was born, and JB so kindly added in a stop at the church in Pilar and even asked folks there to take a look at baptismal records for me. I truly value JB’s kindness and patience. Thank you!!
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure! Hope to see you again :)

You have to take this tour if you are into military history or want to learn about the Bataan March
Just wow! The history is amazing. This is not a tour you can DIY. Honestly, it was worth the price. It did take about 10.5hours for the driving distance and we were lucky with traffic that day. Boyet was our driver and he was great and safe. JB has so much passions and a personal interest in sharing the history of the Bataan March. If you love history and want to learn about this significant era, take the tour. My husband loves military history and he learned a lot of new facts on this tour. Thanks again JB and Boyet.

Amazing and Unforgettable Experience
JB and our driver, Vincent, took us on tour of the Bataan peninsula which focused on the Death March but it was so much more. We visited three World War II museums and learned more about the Japanese treatment of the POW’s and the local population. The courage of the Filipinos was amazing and we cannot be more grateful for all they did for the American service men left behind to fight overwhelming Japanese forces. The soldiers and civilians were brave and generous and never stopped fighting for their freedom. JB was extremely knowledgeable and had first hand experience because his grandfather survived the Death March and taught JB many things as a child. He was willing to share this personal knowledge and the pain and suffering of the war. We will never forget this tour and we thank JB and Vincent for teaching us and sharing a profound experience with us.

Bataan Death March memorial tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manila.
How much does Bataan Death March memorial tour cost?
+
Prices start at $375 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Manila usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bataan Death March memorial tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Manila is not rushed.
Is Bataan Death March memorial tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 45 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Manila, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bataan Death March memorial tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bataan Death March memorial tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bataan Death March memorial tour?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Manila can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Manila and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bataan Death March memorial tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Manila within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Manila?
+
On Outty we rank every Manila experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Manila Food Tour: Introduction to Philippine Street Food, Experience Intramuros with Bamboo Bicycle - Ecotours, Spectacular Manila to Tagaytay: Full-Day Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Manila?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Manila?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Bataan Death March memorial tour?
+
Included: Bottled water; and All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Bataan Death March memorial tour include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Bataan Death March memorial tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Bataan Death March memorial tour?
+
