I had an incredible time on this Intramuros tour, and I owe much of that to our amazing guide, Mari. She wasn’t just knowledgeable she made history come alive. Her storytelling was clear, engaging, and filled with passion. She managed to take the deep, complex history of the Philippines from its colonial past to the harrowing Battle of Manila and present it in a way that was easy to follow yet deeply moving.
The tour itinerary was well-planned, covering must-see sites like Fort Santiago, the Manila Cathedral, and the Dr. Jose Rizal Shrine. Mari provided fascinating insights at each stop, giving context that helped me better understand how Manila has evolved over the centuries.
Whether you’re a history buff or a curious traveler, this tour is a must and I highly recommend asking for Mari. Her energy, knowledge, and storytelling truly elevated the whole experience!
