Discover the history and character of the Philippine capital on a private tour by car with your own English speaking driver/guide, who picks you up at your accommodation and adapts the pace and the time at each stop to your interests.
Begin at Rizal Park, one of Manila's most important public spaces, where the monument to national hero José Rizal helps explain the country's identity. Continue into Intramuros, the historic walled city of Spanish colonial Manila, and discover Fort Santiago, the fortress at the heart of the district, before admiring Manila Cathedral on Plaza de Roma and the UNESCO-listed San Agustin Church, one of the oldest surviving stone churches in the Philippines.
Finish in Binondo, Manila's Chinatown, where busy streets, traditional businesses and Filipino-Chinese heritage reveal another side of the city before your driver/guide returns you to your accommodation.
