About this tour

Rizal Park (Luneta) is the lungs of Manila — 58 hectares of open green space, reflecting pools, and neoclassical architecture sitting between the financial district and Manila Bay. This guided bike tour uses the park's dedicated cycling lanes to link the park's major landmarks with a loop into Intramuros, giving you ground-level access that bus tours simply can't offer.

The ride starts at the Rizal Monument, where the national hero is buried beneath his own memorial and the flag of the Philippines flies at permanent full-staff. The guide walks you through the execution-by-firing-squad story and the political earthquake that followed, before you mount up and pedal past the Chinese and Japanese Gardens, the Orchidarium, and the Open Air Auditorium where presidents have delivered addresses for over a century.

Crossing into Intramuros, the tour enters the section of the Walled City best seen on two wheels — the Baluarte de San Diego gardens, the outer walls facing Manila Bay, and the residential streets where descendants of Spanish-era families still live behind heavy wooden doors. The bikes are comfortable single-speed cruisers, helmets provided, and the guide maintains a pace suitable for all fitness levels. Minimum age 10 (or join with a guide-driven buggy for younger children).
