Hi folks -

as promised, here's the information to Carlos Celdran. I can send you his contact information if you'd like to call him to ask about the tours.

He's an all around great guy. The tours are highly recommended, and will be sure to give you interesting insights on the pieces of factoids (that's not a word, really) he indiscriminately throws around.

Hope you enjoy this. Thanks.

Guest Relations Officer.. Fancy term for ... hmmm, the word escapes me


@glenver: I can vouch for Carlos Celdran. Back in 05, my whole family was in Manila for my brothers wedding, we toured Intramuros and hired him as our guide. We had a great time, especially when Carlos gives you a background what it was like during colonial era.

hehe the last time I met up with the Hammerhead was along Padre Burgos street. 30 mins after he told me to meet him at a certain bar, I walked in only to find no one there and the GROs giving me puzzling looks.

Knowing Larry, I really thought he played a prank on me and I expected him to be on his DSLR snapping pics of me walking in and out of the first bar.

I give him too much credit - I called him and found out he had moved to another bar just up the street...


Get your free tours with Larry the Hammerhead, folks!
