Manila - The Local Way

Gain a deeper understanding of the Philippines' diverse culture with a unique tour of the capital city. Experience the city's pulse as you embark on a morning ferry ride along Pasig River, a significant tidal estuary of Manila Bay.

Live like a local by commuting around the city on a jeepney, PNR train, and a 'kuliglig' or 'tricykad'—a 3-wheeled motorbike. Explore the historic walls of Intramuros aboard a horse-drawn carriage called a 'calesa,' while your cochero shares insights into the landmarks. Venture into Chinatown in Binondo, strolling past herbal stores, jewellery shops, and oriental knick-knacks. Refresh at an authentic Chinese tea house before catching a 'tricykad' to the Philippine National Railway Station, established in 1892. Conclude the tour with a train ride back to Buendia Station, passing through densely populated areas. Finish by taking a jeepney back to your hotel.
