Those wanting to see the highlights of the walled city but only have a short time to spare should definitely grab this opportunity. This tour comes with a guide, complimentary use of a poncho in case of rain, and a complimentary water refill, so make sure to bring your refillable water bottle.

The excursion will start at the Bambike Ecotours Headquarters in Intramuros, where the group will meet the tour guide. Please make sure to arrive 30 minutes earlier for registration and briefing and so you can choose the perfect Bambike for you. Once you’re ready, you will head straight to Plaza San Luis, a complex composed of five houses, each one exhibiting different periods of Filipino-Spanish architecture.

From there, you will pass by the Japanese Cannon on your way to the Puerta Real Gardens . The cannon is a relic from the Battle of Manila and was used against American forces during the war. Puerta Real Gardens feature vibrant tropical greens and coconut trees, which make a perfect setting for wedding celebrations and leisurely walks.

Your last stops are Plaza España and Plaza Roma. Plaza España is a small triangular plaza where you will see a monument of King Philip II of Spain, after whom the Philippines was named, while Plaza Roma is one of the major plazas in Intramuros and is considered its center.

You will then return to the Bambike Ecotours Headquarters to learn more about the Bambike’s work for the people, planet, and progress before officially ending your tour.
