Manila By Foot
How well do you know Manila? They say the best way to know a place is to go through it by foot. Admittedly, the Manila breeze may not exactly be good for your lungs, but if you want to really appreciate historical Manila, there’s no other way. I know my hubby would be happy to know there are already walking tours being offered nowadays. He’d no longer have to go through Escolta, Quiapo, Cubao, or Bangkal, Makati alone. And besides, I’m not exactly sure I’m qualified to play tourguide in Manila, anyway, being a promdi myself and having nearly flunked Philippine History. For the measly price of 400 to 500 pesos of per adult, he can have the time-featured Carlos Celdran for a tourguide instead.
Pretty good deal, I think. Should also be a great idea for visiting balikbayans!

Hello,
Havent tried the celdran tours yet, but i can also recommend you to try the Old Manila Walks (http://www.oldmanilawalks.com) tour hosted by Ivan Man-Dy. Various interesting tours available like chinatown food bowl walk, Manila Chinese Cemetery walk, and the San Miguel walk. In the san Miguel walk you will get to see the beautiful mansions of the Millionaire’s Row at the Malacañang Compound. Yes, you get be getting inside the compund and security is a bit tight. Soem areas are off-limits of cameras
