Ride a handcrafted bamboo bike through Intramuros, Manila, with lively guides, historic sites, safety support, and ice cream at the finish.
“The overall experience was enjoyable and the team was great, especially allowing us to still have our full 3-hour tour when many from the group were running late. My bike was a little rickety, but still solid and smooth for the ride. Our guide Anj presented information well to keep each site interesting by providing history and factoids while not sounding like a mundane lecture. The ride was easy and fun going through the different areas and the weather wasn't too hot. The team provided help with pictures at every stop and answered any follow-up questions I had. Ending the tour with ice cream was also a treat. Would recommend…”
