Great tour about Philippines History - Tessa was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable and passionate about Philippines history. She took the time on the tour and it was great. If you want a great tour about Philippines history take the tour and hopefully you will get Tessa.

A good tour of old Manila, perfectly safe and well organised! - Picked up on time by our driver Jeffrey and he skilfully negotiated Manilas very busy roads taking us to Intramuros where we met our guide Arsen. He then took us on a tour of the sights and sounds of old Manila, taking in churches, old battlegrounds and other interesting places. He is a very knowledgeable guy who told us all about the places we were visiting and sorted out the tickets where required. After a few hours it was back to the square to meet the driver again and a similarly hectic but safe ride back to our hotel.
