Great experience - Really interesting tour. Justine was a great tour guide, and pitched the information just right for us. We were 2 couples in our 50's and 60's and did the express tour which actually lasted around an hour and 3/4. The complimentary ice cream at the end was well received! A fair bit of the route is shared with cars but we did not feel unsafe. Thank you for an interesting and rewarding afternoon out.

Highly recommended - We really enjoyed the tour and only wish we had time for the longer one!
The social enterprise Bambike is inspirational and the bikes are really good, staff make sure they are suitable for you.
JayD was an informative and enthusiastic guide who clearly enjoys showing you around his city.
Cold towels and beautiful ice creams are a very welcome end to the experience.

A great way to see Intramuros - We absolutely loved this tour! A great way to see the old city and really fun to ride around on the bamboo bikes. And the ice cream at the end was delicious! Bambike was well organised and the guides were great.

Expected more - The tour mostly takes you around the old military structures in Manila, and ends with Manila Cathedral. Generally not very interesting locations. There were two groups of tourists, and the guide in the other group had a microphone with a loud speaker, while the guide of our group did not, which was a little strange. After the tour they provided complimentary ice cream for everyone. They also have a bar upstairs with ridiculously overpriced beer. I recommend doing this tour only if you are staying near the starting location.

It was really boring. Should have just rented a bike and rode around by myself. - It was really boring. Should have just rented a bike and rode around by myself. I don't think it was the tour guides fault, its just a boring tour in my opinion.

Don't Do It - There was an unkind, unprofessional staff member. Another member even tried to sell a bike to me. The tour was too rushed. The site was too crowded. Wasn't worth a dollar.
