Private Tour

Discover Manila’s historic walled city in the most unique and eco-friendly way possible — on handcrafted bamboo bikes! Our Intramuros by Bamboo Bike Tour blends culture, history, and a touch of adventure as you pedal through cobblestone streets, past centuries-old churches, and into hidden alleys filled with stories of the Spanish colonial era and World War II.

Your experience begins at Bambike HQ inside Intramuros, where you’ll be fitted with your handcrafted bamboo bike (built by Gawad Kalinga artisans) and given a safety briefing by your friendly guide. From there, we’ll explore iconic landmarks like Fort Santiago, Museo de Intramuros, and the Manila Cathedral — while learning about Filipino resilience, love, and heroism through engaging storytelling.

This is one of our most popular tours in Manila for travelers seeking something unique and photogenic — plus it’s sustainable! No need to worry about entrance fees or snacks; we’ve got it covered. Want hotel pickup, a heritage lunch, or even a sunset ride extension? We can arrange that too.

Bamboo Bike Ride: Handcrafted bikes by Gawad Kalinga artisans
Museo de Intramuros: Curated religious and colonial art
