informative small group tour with an excellent guide: highly recommended! - Steven was a great guide: thank you! He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Intramuros, but not ponderous or dull. I recommend him highly. The tour was 3 hrs & well-paced. We saw the city walls, gate, fortress, dungeons, churches & Casa Manila house. I learnt a great deal, especially about National hero, Jose Rizal, & the terrible Battle of Manila. The old city was quiet & peaceful. The group was small & Steven answered questions well.
