Manila, like the country of which it is the capital, offers variety at every turn. Cobbled Streets run into multi lane highways and Intramuros, with its ruins of Fort Santiago and historic churches and convents, is just a few minutes walk from the high -rise hotels and the office blocks of the modern city. Department stores vie for costumers with street markets, and museums tempts those in search of the past, whilst some of Asia's liveliest tempts those seeking more contemporary pleasures.
Our recommended sight seeing tours will help you make the most of your visit. The Manila City Tour visit Rizal parks, the walled city, Intramuros, Fort Santiago, San Agustin Church and the Chinese
