    Great tour

    We completed the Intramuros tour this morning and what a wonderful experience. Andre was so knowledgable and funny, and made the tour incredibly interactive and interesting. I was recommended this tour by a friend and cannot recommend it enough to others too! Lots of information but not at all overwhelming and great to learn about the history of Manila. Thank you Andre!

    Don’t skip Manila. No—literally, don’t skip Manila!

    This tour was absolutely amazing. Our guide, Steven, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. Even though it rained during part of our tour, he made sure we still had a fantastic experience and didn’t miss a thing. His energy and passion for the city truly made the day special. I would 100% do this tour again. A huge bonus: the tour included transportation, which made everything seamless—especially since I was staying in Makati. Not having to think about logistics allowed me to fully enjoy the experience. If you’re considering it, book it. Manila (intramuros) is worth it.

    Best way for foreigners to "get" a lot of the Philippines & Filipinos

    Joined a Morrocan buddy who was doing food research with me and the minutia, insights and laughs he got on the tour gave him a holistic and buildable idea to go with. Great value, amazing time!

    Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manila.

    How much does Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila cost?

    +

    Prices start at $83 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 Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 49 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 Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila?

    +

    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 Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila?

    +

    Around 17 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila 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 Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila?

    +

    Included: Museum entrance fees; Bottled water; Horse-drawn Carriage Ride (if more than 4 tourists); All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; and Personal snacks and souvenir. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Is Intramuros Walking Tour with Transportation by Don't Skip Manila wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
