Private Half-Day Shore Excursion in Manila

Pick up at the entrance/exit gate of pier 15 and commence with your tour. Visit Rizal Park, named in honour of the country’s national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal.

After a brief picture stop, proceed to the historic Walled City of Intramuros.

Travel through the cobbled streets towards San Agustin Church, the country’s oldest stone church and view its wide collection of ecclesiastical icons, vestments and other religious articles.

Afterwards visit Casa Manila, a reproduction of 19th century house equipped with Oriental and European decor, as well as Philippine antique furniture.

Continue on to Fort Santiago, Manila’s main line of defense against invaders from the sea.

From the Fort, drive by Quiapo, Manila’s central district, often referred to as the heart of Manila with its market, pilgrimage church of the Black Nazarene, jeepney terminals and bazaars. Then stop at the Chinese Cemetery, where the mausoleums are as big and as elaborate as houses and where fusions of Buddhist and Christian religions are very much in evidence. Return back to the ferry terminal at the end of the tour.
