The daytime join-in tour and the private daytime tour begin at Beanleaf Café inside Fort Santiago, Intramuros, Manila. The night tour begins at the main entrance of San Agustin Church, also inside Intramuros. Exact meeting coordinates can be shared via WhatsApp upon booking.
All tours include: (1) a DOT-accredited tour guide, (2) entrance fees to all attractions on the itinerary (Fort Santiago, Casa Manila, San Agustin Church), and (3) a complimentary disposable raincoat if needed. No hidden charges for the standard package.
The tour price does not include: personal meals and drinks, optional add-ons such as hotel pick-up and drop-off, Kalesa (horse-drawn carriage) rides, and any personal purchases made during the tour. These are available separately at an additional cost.
Each tour lasts approximately four hours. The daytime join-in tour runs from 8:00 AM to 12:00 NN. The night tour runs from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Private daytime tours can have a flexible start time but follow the same four-hour duration.
The join-in tour is a small-group experience shared with other registered participants. We keep group sizes small to ensure everyone can hear the guide clearly and have a comfortable, personal experience. If you prefer to have the guide entirely to yourself and your group, consider booking the private tour.
Yes. All three tour packages are listed as suitable for families. The daytime join-in tour and the private daytime tour are particularly well-suited for children. The night tour includes folklore stories about mythical creatures (Manananggal, Kapre, Tikbalang) which may be better suited for older children. Parents can decide based on their children's comfort level.
Intramuros is a walking tour through a historic area, and some paths involve cobblestones and uneven surfaces. If you or a member of your group has limited mobility, please let us know when booking. We will advise on the most accessible route and pace the tour accordingly.

Wear light, comfortable clothing suitable for warm weather and walking. Closed-toe shoes or comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended — the streets of Intramuros include cobblestones and uneven pavement. Bringing a hat or cap and applying sunscreen before the daytime tours is also advisable.
We recommend bringing: (1) a fully charged mobile phone for photos, (2) water or a refillable bottle, (3) cash in Philippine pesos for personal purchases, snacks, or optional add-ons, and (4) comfortable walking shoes. Sunscreen and a hat are helpful for the daytime tours. Raincoats are provided complimentarily, but you are welcome to bring your own umbrella.
We provide complimentary disposable raincoats for all participants, so light to moderate rain does not cancel the tour. In cases of severe weather, typhoon warnings, or conditions that make walking unsafe, we will contact all registered participants and work to reschedule at no additional charge.
