Solid introduction/ re-introduction to Manila
Our guide knew his history. Shared a van with another couple. Van clean with good A/C and driver seemed to do a good job navigating the streets of Manila.
via Tripadvisor
Excellent, easy paced tour.
We had a very knowledgeable tour guide in Frank who showed us and explained well many of the major tourist sites. It was a comfortable experience. Frank set the pace to accommodate those who struggled a bit with their waking.
via Viator
A great, comprehensive yet brief Manila tour
A lot to see but see it we did with an enthusiastic guide who collected us from the cruise terminal and had a car and driver with her/us throughout. The turbulent history, the beautiful buildings and the beautiful flower market. Such a lot in a short time - thank you.
via Viator
If you want to spend your time sitting in a traffic jam this one's for you
Although the guide Frank tried his hardest this tour was badly organised. This started with being given the wrong meeting place in the tour confirmation email (12 out of 14 people on the tour) meaning the tour start was delayed by over 1 hour. We only visited the American Cemetery memorial which took over 1 hour in traffic to reach and then 2 stops in Intramuros. The rest was drive by as there was not enough time to stop anywhere else. The guide was knowledgeable but clearly had an issue with guests from Australia as he mocked our accent on a few occasions. Not worth the money spent.
via Viator
Awesome historical tour!
I had done this same tour a year prior with my daughter and knew my husband would enjoy it too. Frank was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and easy to understand. He gave us time to see the sights and never rushed us. Great tour!

Shared Cruise Shore Excursion of Manila Old and New City Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manila.
How much does Shared Cruise Shore Excursion of Manila Old and New City Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $130 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 Shared Cruise Shore Excursion of Manila Old and New City Tour 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 Shared Cruise Shore Excursion of Manila Old and New City Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 10 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 Shared Cruise Shore Excursion of Manila Old and New City 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 Shared Cruise Shore Excursion of Manila Old and New City Tour 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 Shared Cruise Shore Excursion of Manila Old and New City Tour?
+
Around 4 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 Shared Cruise Shore Excursion of Manila Old and New City 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.
