Jonathan was super knowledgeable and funny! He made the tour fun and we learned a lot about Manila's history. The ice cream at the end was a great way to finish the tour.

Easy riding don't need to be an everyday roder.

Biking tour around old Manila is the way to go..!! Excellent guide knowledge and very very funny! This one is a must for a day stop in Manila and good times!!!

Fun way to explore this area.

Great trip. Enjoyed the...

Great trip. Enjoyed the historical tour on the Bamboo bike. Lunch at the cafe next to the bike rental was great. Tour guide John was awesome. Learned a lot about Maynilad's multi-layer history thanks to John.

Fun and interesting bike tour. Take the extended tour!

Daryl_S, Mar 2024

Super interesting tour of Intramuros with the ease of riding a bike. Tour guide John was very knowledgable and pleasant. Ample time was given at each of the historic sites to look around, except the two historic churches. But after the tour you have plenty of time to go back and visit them on your own. My only suggestion would be a slightly longer tour that would include riding around some of the other streets with comments regarding the history of the area in general and more biking than just going from one spot to the next. Overall I’m super happy I did this tour. Spend a whole day in Intra-muros. Don’t miss the Casa Manila and Barbara’s for lunch. Thank you BamBike Tours.

good tour worth the time

AJ_G, Mar 2024

the tour was really good, riding was easy and comfortable, the guides were very helpful and easy going, the trail was flat and comfortable. would recommend.

A definite recommendation of the best way to tour Old Manila!

Maria_S, Mar 2024

What a great way to tour Old Manila! Steven, our guide, was amazingly knowledgeable and so funny! He kept us entertained as we pedaled from one site to another. As a single female, I was concerned about going alone, but no worries! I don't think this tour would have been as entertaining or engaging had we been in a vehicle. I definitely recommend it!

A melting pot

Nirav_P, Feb 2024

Really fun and informative tour! The route was great to cycle with lots of historical sights to take in and learn about. The area holds stories about nations and cultures from all across the globe - it is mind blowing. Jonathan was a lovely guide - very friendly and knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. I would highly recommend!

Highly recommend Bambikes to see Intramuros! !

Janet_B, Feb 2024

Steven and his partner were excellent guides. He gave us a lot of historical info on the old city with pictures . They got us safely through all the traffic as a group to all the stops . It was a fun way to see the city . Topped it off with ice cream :) All the Bambike employees were friendly and helpful and made it a very pleasurable experience!

Great Experience. Highly Recommend

Ashley_M, Feb 2024

Beautiful sights. Beautiful weather. The bikes are comfortable and easy to ride. Terrain is super flat and takes no physical fitness to complete this tour. You do get into some traffic but there are people who direct you safely when you need to cross out of bike lanes. The ride to/from our hotel from downtown took over 90 minutes due to heavy traffic. I arranged a drop off/pickup with our hotel and had no issues getting to that meeting point. Really appreciate them accommodating us when there was an accident that caused a traffic jam. I called and told them we would be late—when we arrived they biked us to the join up with the group. THANK YOU!!

Informative

William_S, Feb 2024

It was a great tour. Very informative. The bike is to only get to different destination. Not a race, but so much better then walking. The guide was great and interactive. Highly recommended 👌

Excellent tour!

Steven_N, Feb 2024

Great guide with extensive knowledge & info you can’t get in a guidebook. Bicycle is the easiest way to explore Intramurus, especially in the heat. I really appreciate the small group too!

Great Fun with a Knowledge Guide

Loretta_S, Feb 2024

Our guide, Steven, was an absolute jewel. He was knowledgeable and made the tour entertaining. I would undoubtedly recommend this tour

Really nice way of exploring Intramuros especially as someone new to Manila. Would have been great if the tour was a little bit longer.
