5 Essentials to Make the Most Out of Your Intramuros Bike Tour

These will make your ride a breeze.



In Intramuros, there’s always something new to discover—maybe it’s a spot you overlooked the first time you visited, a building you weren’t able to fully appreciate, an interesting doorway you didn’t get a chance to take a picture of, or a museum you want to explore further. 

Even getting around Manila’s Walled City takes different forms. Walking tours have always been a favorite way to learn about this historical spot, and calesa rides are a classic option. Bambike Ecotours is offering up something new: a bike tour through Intramuros, where you get to pick one of their famous eco-friendly bamboo bicycles for you to use and see the area’s historical and cultural treasures with a guide.

You can choose to go on a short tour (1.5 hours lets you stop by six sites) or get the full experience with a 2.5-hour ride. If you’re a bit iffy about biking along the street with other vehicles, don’t worry—your guide makes sure everybody rides safely. 

You don’t need to be in peak physical condition to do the tour, but it does help to have a few things on hand to make the tour easier. You can enjoy the ride, so you won’t miss a single thing. Here are a few things to remember before going on your ride through history.

On tours like this, having the perfect camera to capture all the sights is a must. The OPPO Reno2 series lets you capture every event and experience perfectly. It's equipped with Ultra Steady Video + 4K video resolution, which lets you take crisp, clear videos with smoother frames even on action-packed adventures, and its Ultra Wide Angle capabilities make sure that every scene looks dramatic and impressive.

Even if you stay in the Intramuros area until nighttime, your pictures will still turn out great because of the OPPO Reno2's Ultra Dark Mode feature, so you can take brilliant photos even under low-light conditions. A big plus is that you can take as many videos as you want; the Reno2 has 8 GB RAM and 256 GB internal storage, while the Reno2 F offers 8 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage. 

The OPPO Reno2 is available in Sunset Pink and Luminous Black, while the OPPO Reno2 F comes in Sky White, Lake Green, and Nebula Green. Learn more about the OPPO Reno2 series’ features on the official OPPO Philippines website, and check out their Facebook and Instagram accounts for updates.
