A Personal and Intimate tour of Manila

"...Almost four years running now, its the most popular tour in the selection and a definite must for beginners in Philippine History. Take a leisurely afternoon walk along the 400 year old walls of Intramuros and take in a humorous analysis of Philippine art, culture, and society from Pre-Hispanic Manila until the present. Ironically irreverent yet informative...."
If you're tired of all those tourbus-guides with mikes-looking out windows kind of tours, why not go the Carlos Celdran kind of tour. A more intimate and personal tour of famous places in Manila. Walk the streets. Touch the walls. Eat the food. This one looks like a real hoot to do. You can tour one of the famous places in the Philippines, Intramuros, the walled city in Manila. Walk the streets of Chinatown. Barter for goodies in Makati. Even visit the Quiapo district. Plus you have Carlos Celdran and his seasoned tour guides (i prefer to use the term street walkers) to show you the way. I even hear they have one the kids would love.

Oh, by the way, this isn't one of those spam kind of blogs. I was just planning to take this tour and visit some famous Philippine sites and I was thinking you might also want to try it.

The picture above is when he did his Cabaret/Singing/Tour, I think.
