Metropolitan Manila encompasses six cities and 12 towns. Located on Manila Bay in the South China Sea, and bisected by the Pasig River, the capital of the Philippines is historic and modern, rich and poor. A popular sight is the walled area called Intramuros. The capital during Spanish colonization, Intramuros has retained old dungeons and gunpowder rooms but added art galleries and theaters. The city is filled with museums, shops, parks and churches, plus enough nightlife to last until dawn.

Our trip was a shared one , we knew this and pick up was on time, Guide gave short introduction at each stop then group had a set time before we moved on. Lunch was initially to be very early 11.30 am but we alll agreed to make the river cruise and lunch last stop after chocolate hills. Viewpoint needs 200 plus steps so not for the lesss mobile. Pity that quad bikes below disturb peace of site. Excellent buffet lunch and river trip with music and bankside cultural show. Good value and varied if you can spare a day off the beach.

This is perfect for a day you wish to escape the sun or get out of the rain. There are numerous floors (3-4) that are quite spacious. The art starts with the really old and moves through to modern and and sculpture. Some of the earlier stuff I'd never heard of the artists, not did I particularly like their work. However you still learn about the history of the Filipinos which is the point. Not a great place to visit for high energy kids as there isn't much to do aside from look quietly at pictures.

I was travelling as a solo female and JB and his team put together a custom-made tour based on the places I wanted to see. From start to finish I was very well looked after, given additional experiences that I would not have thought of doing and felt very safe during the whole trip. The highlights for me were the caves tour and Rice Terraces/Waterfall walk in Sagada but the whole trip was amazing and I would recommend JB!

We had a short stay in Manila, and I wanted to learn something about the history of the city. The Don't Skip Manila walking tour was great - a lot of history compressed into a short and entertaining tour. Our children enjoyed walking around the old fort, the carriage ride and ice cream. Andrei was an engaging and interesting guide. Definitely recommended.

We did a Bangkok temple tour and visit to bridge over the river Kwai. Pete was our tour guide and he is exceptional at what he does. He is very well known within the trade and if you’re with Pete you are a VIP. Kom was our driver and shuttled is to and from airport and our adventures! He is a great driver I would not want to drive there!
