We arrived in the early afternoon expecting a couple of hours would be sufficient to see all of Intramorus. When we realised this walled city spanned 64 hectares we wondered what we would have to miss, then Hero and Justin arrived offering us a guided city tour in his Ferrari, how could we say No? Cost was 350P per person per 30 mins. For us the whole tour took 3 hours. With entry fees to some museums approximate cost $3000P per person (including a tip). The tour saved us so much time and Justin, our guide, was informative about local history and historical characters. We would have missed so many aspects of Intramorus if not for the inside knowledge of Hero and Justin. Justin is also a talented photographer and knew the best spots and angles to capture memories of our time at the various churches and significantly historical places. I would also recommend the guided tour at Museo St Agustin. We were lucky enough to witness a wedding in progress at St Agustin’s Church.

Really interesting. Well worth having the official guide show you around. He made it really come alive. There's a table inside the Fort where he is sitting and one price covers the whole group.

A historical landmark in Manila located inside Intramuros. Fort Santiago is an open area so it is important that you bring your umbrella. If ever you get hungry while roaming around there are various cafes inside wherein you can grab some food and drinks. If you reach the back end of the fort, you'll see the beautiful view of Pasig River and the Binondo-Intramuros bridge. The entrance fee is cheap.

This is my second time visiting this historical landmark. I really like how it looks today and the place is well maintained, lively and beautiful. There are souvenir shops and foods also. A must see when you visit Manila.

Fort Santiago was built in 1571 by the Spanish as a citadel for Manila. It was badly damaged during World War II. Since 1953 it has been reconstructed, and ongoing work continues. It is within the old historical part of Manila known as the Intramuros. There is a lot of interest within the fort, both historically, and shops selling all sorts of food and souvenirs. There is an entry charge. When we visited it was 75 pesos for adults, but as seniors (even not locals) we got in for 50 pesos each. A must see when in Manila, as part of visiting Intramuros.

Was tricky to get to and a long way from Makati but once there I enjoyed walking the grounds and the museum was interesting. There’s no doubt the Filipinos adore Jose Rizal as can be seen by the artwork etc I found the vertebrae in a cabinet disturbing it was definitely sad the way he died. I learned something historical so that’s a bonus

Historical place at manila. have to buy ticket at the entrance. There are lots of tour guide asking for city tour. Unsure if they are the licensed tour guide The fort is not not really that big. Maybe spending 1 hour is enough. However there are many other tourist spots around that area.
