The Original Cebu City Historical and Food Walking Tour

1.The Original Cebu City Historical and Food Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 81 reviews · from $69Pick of the list

Explore Cebu City’s landmarks, markets, jeepneys, and local food on a four-hour walking tour with guides who know the city well.

“We wanted to try the iconic foods of the Philippines and Cebu and this tour was absolutely perfect. We got to go to off the beaten path spots we would never have found on our own, try so many different foods, and also see sights of Cebu like the cathedral, a very old house, Magellan’s cross, the market, and even ride in a Jeepney! A perfect way for foodies to experience Cebu. Kyle was an amazing guide! So kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. The food was delicious and they clearly chose good places-we both felt well (ok, a little full maybe) afterwards! 100% recommend for folks looking for a taste (literally)…”

Explore Cebu’s historic core and hilltop sights in one private day tour, with hotel pickup, photo stops, and practical advice on value.

“There was lots packed into the day and plenty of photo opportunities throughout! The tour guide was super friendly and would take plenty of opportunities to take pictures if see desired. He also had lots to share about the historical meaning behind the different places visited! Awesome tour overall, I'd just really recommend bringing pants, and umbrella, and water like how the description says! Would recommend to anyone looking to learn a bit about Cebu and all the tourist attractions without having to buy multiple Grabs!”

Review of Cebu’s Temple of Leah and Sirao Flower Garden tour, with practical advice on price, timing, transport, guides, and what to expect.

“Very good! Ricks, our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his knowledge of the places and history, Perhaps a good guide on how long each stop would be would help to manage the time. Guide tried to set it but it for some sites it seemed to long and some, it seemed short. Perhaps this can be planned out better to manage the time better specially for those who need to be back with the time indicated for the tour. Otherwise, the tour was good!”
