Are photography and videos allowed?

Yes! Photography is welcome at all stops. Your guide can even help take Instagram-worthy shots for you. Only note that some museum areas may restrict flash photography.

Can we customize the itinerary?

Definitely! If you want to add stops (like Bahay Tsinoy or extra time at Rizal Park) or skip certain places, let us know when booking—we’ll tailor it to your interests.

Lunch can be added as an optional upgrade at a heritage restaurant inside Intramuros (like Barbara’s). We recommend it for a more immersive experience, but you may also choose to have lunch after the tour.
