Jeepney City Tour — Design Your Own Route Manila
About this tour
The jeepney is the undisputed king of Philippine roads, a flamboyant, chrome-trimmed icon born from surplus World War II military jeeps and decorated like rolling folk art. This tour puts you in the driver's seat of your own Manila adventure, riding a jeepney through the capital on a route you help design, with a local guide to bring each stop to life.
Rather than a fixed circuit, you choose the mix that suits you from Manila's greatest hits: the walled Spanish quarter of Intramuros with Fort Santiago and San Agustin Church; the chaotic energy and faith of Quiapo around its famous Black Nazarene church and bustling market; and Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world, where you can graze on dumplings, hopia and other Filipino-Chinese delights.
Along the way you experience the city the way locals do, weaving through traffic in the open-air jeepney, hopping off to explore on foot, and soaking up the sights, sounds and street food of the metropolis. Customisable, immersive and a lot of fun, it is the most authentic way to get under the skin of Manila in just a few hours.
