Discover the most popular places in the Filipino capital with an exclusive guide for you and your partner, family or friends on this private tour of Manila.
Private Tour of Manila
We'll meet at Rizal Park in the heart of Manila. You'll see that this place is guarded 24 hours a day by soldiers called the Rizal Knights - we'll learn all about them during the tour. A few steps away, we'll find the Chinese Garden and admire its minimalist decoration. We'll also visit the Japanese Garden, where we'll see its different small pagodas.
Next, we'll walk towards Bonifacio Drive, the old boardwalk, where we'll find important landmarks including the Ninoy & Cory Aquino Monument, the monument to Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, the navigator who established the first Spanish settlement in the Philippines, and the memorials to Fray Urdaneta and Simon de Anda.
Our next stop will be St. Augustine's Church, located within the walls of Manila, in a historic area called Intramuros. We'll discover that this is the oldest Catholic church in the Philippines. Still within Intramuros, we'll visit Manila House, a museum that represents the way of life during the colonial era in the Philippines.
We'll also visit Fort Santiago, a 16th-century citadel built by the Spanish on their arrival in Manila. At the end of our private tour of Manila, we'll return to the starting point.
