Last minute booking success

Adam_D, Oct 2025

You will stay mostly in the city. Not a lot of shade. So wear a hat or sunscreen. There will be a lot of people asking you for money. But the locations are very nice. The guide Annabel was nice, knowledgeable, and takes great Photographs. Very eager to help. Booked at the last minute (night before).

Thank you very much for the review Sir Adam ☺️

Good quick overview of Cebu

Kristien_K, Mar 2025

Our guide, Liz, provided a lot of information on the sites of the city and history of the area. She was very engaging and easy to communicate to. She frequently offered to take pictures for us at various sites. She shared some personal information and history. This wasn’t a problem for us as we enjoyed the stories, but may be to much information for other tourists. She did listen to our needs and did take us to a shop to purchase some small souvenirs and dried mangos. We did need to cover our knees and shoulders at the last temple, which we weren’t informed of by the operators. I wish we were given better instructions on this as it was very hot and humid. Luckily it was brought up at the beginning so we turned back to the hotel to change. Overall very informative tour for half a day with a decent amount of sites seen. Would have preferred better details in tour description to accurately prepare (i.e. clothing). Guide was very informative and easily engagable 9/10.

Great Half-Day Cebu City Tour!

Raymond_B, Mar 2025

We had a great experience on the half-day Cebu City tour! Our guide, Febie, did a wonderful job showing us the major sights and sharing interesting insights about Cebu’s history and culture. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour. The itinerary covered key landmarks, providing a good overview of the city in a short amount of time. However, we did notice that some areas felt a bit crowded, and traffic made getting around a bit slow—but that’s to be expected in a busy city. Overall, it was an enjoyable and informative tour, perfect for those looking to explore Cebu’s highlights in just a few hours. Highly recommended!

Excellent & informative tour for first-timers!

Amazing tour with amazing people.

Robert_B, Jun 2024

I had a great time learning about Cebu from Annabelle and Julius. They were both amazing and friendly. Annabelle knew everything about her beautiful City and I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about Cebu but not spend the entire day doing so. Thank you so Much Annabelle and Julius. you were amazing. R

Cebu half-day adventure

Eric_K, May 2024

Had Jonathan as our guide, had 35 years of experience and did a great job showing us his city and sharing all of its history. Even had some additional time toward the end (only 3 in our group, moved along easily) and were able to add the national museum which was great. Strongly recommend for those who are looking to fit a lot into a limited time.

A day to remember

FernandeB, Mar 2024

Guide was very knowledgeable. She really took care of us. We had a very good time. My prefer place was at the fort to learn a little bit more the history of Cebu. The only sad thing is that we did not have time to take good picture of the monument who was close to the ancestral home
