Here's an excursion that offers a little bit of everything you're looking for while on vacation-sightseeing, shopping, plenty of photo ops and refreshments. Travel by coach to the Walled City of Intramuros, a living testament to the Spanish colonial period. Commence your guided walking tour from the beautiful Casa Manila, a reconstructed 19th century that holds authentic art and antique furniture from the 17th to the 19th Century. The house represents different eras of Filipino-Spanish architecture and depicts the life during Spanish colonization. Nearby sits the Manila Cathedral-a magnificent architectural feat with its intricate stone carvings, stained-glass mosaics and rosette windows. Then to the ruins of the 435-year-old Fort Santiago, served as headquarters of the military might of the Spanish, American and Japanese colonizers until its destruction in 1945. Finally, browse a handicraft store and enjoy a refreshment before returning to port.

Special Notes:

Manila's weather is warm and humid. Dress appropriately. Wear lightweight clothing and comfortable walking shoes with non-slip heels. Bring a hat, sunglasses, sun protection and an umbrella.

Traffic conditions within the city centre are unpredictable and this may affect the duration of the tour and increase the time spent on the coach. The order of highlights may vary to avoid congestion. In case of any religious celebration tour will proceed but not enter Manila Cathedral. In Casa Manila please note that only 20 guests are allowed per visit group will be divided into 2 batches per coach.
