Manila Old and New City Tour

Step back in time and discover the rich story of the Philippines on this fully guided tour of Manila — a fascinating journey through both past and present.

​

Your experience begins in Makati, the country’s bustling financial center. Pass by key landmarks including Nielson Tower, once the site of the country’s first commercial airport in 1937 and now transformed into a stylish dining destination. Cruise through Forbes Park, a prestigious neighborhood known as “Millionaire’s Row,” before arriving at the serene American Cemetery and Memorial. Spanning 152 acres, it honors over 17,000 U.S. soldiers who gave their lives during World War II, with another 36,000 names of the missing etched into its solemn walls — the largest site of its kind outside the United States.

​

The tour continues along scenic Roxas Boulevard, offering views of the famed Manila Bay, en route to Luneta Park (Rizal Park). This national landmark is home to a striking monument that marks the final resting place of Dr. José Rizal, the country’s most revered hero.

​

Next, explore the historic heart of Old Manila: Intramuros, the “Walled City.” Within its centuries-old stone walls lies a treasure trove of colonial architecture and cultural heritage. Stroll the cobbled streets to San Agustin Church — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the oldest stone church in the Philippines. Then, make your way to Fort Santiago, an enduring symbol of Spanish-era rule and the prison where Dr. Rizal penned his final masterpiece, Mi Último Adiós.
