Luxury & Small Group Tours to Manila, Philippines

Manila, the dynamic capital of the Philippines, is a city where history and modernity converge. Its skyline, a mix of Spanish colonial architecture and skyscrapers, reflects its diverse cultural heritage. Intramuros, the historic walled city, houses landmarks like Fort Santiago and San Agustin Church. Manila is also a hub of vibrant street life, bustling markets, and diverse cuisine, from local street food to upscale dining. The city's pulsating energy is evident in its lively arts scene, bustling shopping districts, and the iconic Manila Bay, known for its stunning sunset views. Manila offers a rich tapestry of experiences, embodying the heart and soul of Filipino culture. 

EXPERIENCES

A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.

Historic Walls


Dubbed the "Walled City," Intramuros is the oldest district in Manila, dating back to the Spanish colonial era. Strolling its cobblestone streets, you encounter preserved ruins, colonial houses, and churches like the Manila Cathedral and San Agustin Church. A kalesa (horse-drawn carriage) ride adds charm to your historical journey, offering glimpses of Filipino-Spanish heritage amidst modern Manila's hustle.

Quiapo Market


For the ultimate local shopping experience, head to Divisoria and Quiapo. These bustling markets are a haven for bargain hunters seeking textiles, crafts, fresh produce, and street food. Navigating the packed streets is a challenge but part of the authentic Manila experience. While in Quiapo, visit the Black Nazarene in Quiapo Church, an essential religious icon attracting millions annually.

Filipino Arts


The National Museum Complex, consisting of the National Museum of Fine Arts, Anthropology, and Natural History, is a treasure trove of Filipino heritage. Admire masterpieces like Juan Luna's "Spoliarium," explore the archipelago's diverse indigenous cultures, and be mesmerized by the "Tree of Life" inside the stunning Natural History building. The complex is a testament to the Philippines' rich tapestry of history and arts.

Manila Bay Sunset


Manila Bay is renowned for its breathtaking sunsets. As the sun descends, casting a golden hue over the waters, locals and tourists flock to the Baywalk or the SM Mall of Asia's esplanade for the best views. The silhouette of traditional bangka (outrigger canoes) against the fiery sky adds a touch of tranquillity to the bustling metropolis.

Filipino Nightlife


Just a short distance from the city centre, Poblacion in Makati is Manila's trendy hub for nightlife. This once-quiet neighbourhood is now dotted with eclectic bars, eateries, and art spaces, popular among locals and expatriates alike. From rooftop bars offering city views, like Z Hostel's The Roof Deck, to themed cafes and speakeasies, Poblacion is the epitome of Manila's vibrant night scene.

Festive Fiesta


Festive FiestaManila, like the rest of the Philippines, is a land of fiestas. Throughout the year, various barangays (neighbourhoods) in the city celebrate their patron saints with lively processions, colourful parades, and traditional dances. Noteworthy are the Flores de Mayo in May and the Feast of the Black Nazarene in January. Participating in or witnessing these festivities allows visitors a deeper understanding of Manila's deep-rooted faith and festivity.
