Day 1 - Welcome to Manila!

Upon arrival in Manila, you will be met by our representative and transferred to your hotel for the next two days. The rest of the day is at leisure, for you to relax or explore at your own pace.
Day 2 - Manila sightseeing

Today you take in the best of Manila on an included half-day city tour. Begin in the financial district of Makati, where you will see Fort Bonifacio and the American Cemetery, before heading into the heart of Manila, the nation’s capital. After a brief photo stop at Rizal Park, named after the national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal, explore the historic walled city of Intramuros, strolling through the cobbled streets to San Agustin Church, the oldest stone church in the country, where you can admire its collection of ecclesiastical icons, vestments and other religious artefacts.
Opposite the church is Casa Manila, a replica of a 19th-century house featuring Oriental and European decor, alongside antique furniture from the Philippines. At the end of the tour, you return to your hotel.

Day 4 - El Nido

Today is free for you to begin your beach holiday in El Nido. We recommend rising early at least once during your stay to catch the stunning sunrise over Bacuit Bay.

You could also head to one of the nearby islands on a day trip, if you wish.
