Flashback in Time in Intramuros
Visiting Manila can be started by visiting its historical past which lie in the popular walled city of Intramuros. It is there where one can appreciate the history of the country as it was captured and colonized by Spain, America and then Japan. For about US$25, one can get a complete family tour of the entire Intramuros with english-speaking tour-guides aboard a horse-driven carriage.
