Tour Manila's new and old city
in an air-conditioned van

After pickup from your hotel in Makati City or the Bay area (Port of Manila for the cruise shore excursion), travel in an air-conditioned van. A licensed guide and driver accompany you as you explore Manila's present and past over about 4 hours.

Visit Makati City and the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial

The tour starts in Makati City, the financial center of the Philippines. Pass Forbes Park, the upscale residential area nicknamed 'Millionaire's Row', and stop at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial for about 30 minutes of guided walking and photos. Then enjoy about 45 minutes of scenic driving along Ayala Avenue, taking in Makati's streets including Nielsen Tower.

Pass Rizal Park and enter the walled city of Intramuros

Travel along Roxas Boulevard to old Manila and spend about 20 minutes at Rizal Park (Luneta Park), which honors the national hero. Then enter Intramuros, the 'Walled City', to see its old walls, church ruins and traces of the Spanish colonial era.

Walk through Fort Santiago and San Agustin Church

Spend about 45 minutes walking through Fort Santiago, the Spanish fortress that guarded the mouth of the Pasig River. It is also where Dr. José Rizal spent his final days and wrote his famous 'Mi Último Adiós'. Follow the cobblestone streets to San Agustin Church, known as the oldest stone church in the Philippines, and spend about 25 minutes admiring its Baroque architecture.
