PERFECT! - An unmatched experience. The tour guides are so friendly and attentive. The bicycles so comfortable. Such a fun way to immerse yourself in the city. The cold towel and ice cream at the end was perfect for the heat.

Fantastic value, amazing guide - Steven was a fantastic guide he was very knowledgeable and very passionate about history and you could tell he lived his job. Always checking on people. The riding was very simple and really only took 20 minutes overall. there's lots of breaks, BUT you do have to have good balance on the COBBLESTONES, but THATS only 5 minutes overall. drink at the end was fantastic, same with the view. you can request they bring a fan if you get too hot, great value, very with the money. Water &toilet at start & end. So much better than walking tour, as that would be very hot

Better ride than walk. - Quite interesting, as it is better to ride than to walk. However, i thought we would ride more and stop less. Nevertheless, it was worth it. We learned a lot about the history of the place, through Anj's explanations, and saw practically all Intramuros!!

Fun afternoon your with friends! - Booked the 1.5 hr biking tour with 3 of my friends, and had such a blast! Our tour guide was both informative and funny, although at lightly lower energy, considering it was later in the day, and the bikes were comfortable and easy to use. (I hadnt been biking in over a year, but had no difficulty) The roads were, for the most part, smooth, other than the cobblestone we had to get over initially, but that was next to no issue at all. The stops were all very nice, but definitely left me wanting to see more (definitely will be looking into the 2.5 hr tour next!) The bike riding wasn't in any way arduos, so would definitely recommend this tour for everyone! The only thing that could classify as an issue was how one of the people meant to stay behind the group ended up going over some of us, but regardless, I still felt safe, even when the road was busy, or people were crossing. Overall, it was a really great tour, and the free ice cream they gave us at Bathala Bar was the cherry on top!

Good way to see the old city - Using a bicycle is a good way to see the walled old city. There are few cars and its a safe tour. Our Guide, Stephen, was knowledgeable and engaging.
I like that the bikes are made at a commune in the Philippines.

Tour quality drops - After positive tour in 2018, I repeated the experience of bambo-bike. As 5 years ago tour was almost perfect, this time it will not arrive to the sufficient rate.
Start was delayed by 15 minutes bur finished 11 am as scheduled. Initial Less stops, less explainations (and more confused), only 5 minutes each stop. Express tour will end at main cathedral when the next stop is saint Augustin church in front of the shop. It makes more sense finishing there.
Evidenty business growed and parallely the quality decreased.
It must be considered different options in Manila intramuros.
