Description
Ride a jeepney through Manila, taste local snacks, and explore the city’s heritage sites. Enjoy a fun karaoke while on ride and learn about the city’s culture from your local guide.
Begin your adventure at Luneta Park (Rizal Park), where you’ll learn about the city’s roots and national pride before hopping aboard your private jeepney. Feel the pulse of the city as you pass Intramuros, Manila’s walled city, with its Spanish-era streets and grand churches.
Along the ride, your local storyteller-guide shares tales of culture, humor, and everyday life — all while Filipino hits play in the background. Don’t be shy to sing along — a bit of jeepney karaoke is part of the fun.
Continue your journey to Escolta, the nostalgic art deco district, and then to Binondo, the world’s oldest Chinatown. Here, dive into Manila’s culinary soul: taste hopia, lumpia, pancit, and local drinks from family-run shops and street vendors that locals swear by.
Snap colorful photos at unique jeepney art stops and heritage spots — perfect for capturing your Manila story.
