Cebu Highlands Tour (Tops,Taoist temple, Leah and sirao garden)
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
What makes this tour unique is that it’s designed by a local who truly knows the city. You’ll visit four of Cebu’s most iconic highland spots—the Taoist Temple, Temple of Leah, Sirao Flower Garden, and Tops Cebu—each offering a different perspective of Cebu’s culture, history, and natural beauty.
Along the way, I share local food recommendations, hidden spots, and practical tips to help you experience Cebu beyond the tour. From where to eat to what else to explore, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the city and the confidence to enjoy it like a local.

5.00Taoist Temple in Cebu, my husband thought pretty impressive! I've been quite a few times but I took my husband for the first time. Sirao gardens nice but not much flowers at this time because of the heat! The statues Instagrammable worthy. Tops was for me the most beautiful one 😍 pictures and the structure pretty impressive 😍 the view is spectacular!Temple of Leah been there quite a few times but my husband's first ♥️ again it's the view up there is the most iconic each time!Overall we had a great time! Bring along umbrella 🌂 pretty hot!
Learnt nothing - wouldn't recommend.

2.00Had this tour and the guide didn't give any information about Cebu or the locations we went to. NOTHING! He didn't introduce himself, he didn't walk us around the stops, he was silent and provided no stories, no information, nothing at all. The tour listing advertises "with a guide to tell their stories" and "Get a local’s perspective on Cebu, including tips and food recommendations" and "Hear the enduring love story that underpins the Temple of Leah" - this is all a lie. I highly recommend finding a taxi driver and hiring them for the day to take you around because they'll definitely have more knowledge and energy to share. Very disappointed

Don't waste your time or money

1.00For $47 you get long drives, up winding mountain roads clogged with cars, vans, trucks and MANY motorcycles, to see four touristy places, none of which will contribute to your understanding of the country, culture or people. The "guides" were drivers, offering precious little information. There wasn't much organization and I learned NOTHING. There weren't even any bathroom stops in 5 hours, much less mention of where we could find toilets. There was no prior mention of curving mountain roads, steep hills, steps. It was: Here. You're here. Take pictures. See you later. Awful.
Interesting tour. Angel was a helpful tour guide

4.00It was a good overall experience, friendly tour guide, comfortable vehicle etc. Meeting point instructions were a little confusing but got quick replies on WhatsApp. Left late because someone in the group ordered McDonalds which took 20 minutes, not much they could do i guess. Four stars though is i think the tour runs a little too late in the afternoon (2pm to almost 8pm) and there's no real stop for dinner. I would have either liked an earlier departure time or perhaps shorter time at Sirao gardens (this was a long stop, and while pretty, it's mostly photo ops). Still recommend this overall though - maybe just pack a snack lol.
