5.00Allows viewing Cebu from historical perspective as opposed to being a resort area Understand how population has survived and thrived. Street food experience is not for everyone but very interesting and should try. 𝙺𝚢𝚕 and Phillip were knowledgeable thoughtful and genuine and would recommend them

5.00Great way to see the city if you're unfamiliar. We explored the city a little on our own a day before and having a knowledgeable guide to show us the historic spots completely changed our perspectives. Cebu has so much more to offer than what we could learn through Google searches. Highly recommend this tour if you're looking to experience Cebuano culture and local cuisine! Request Kyle if possible!

3.00Our guide was great but the tour was very overpriced for what it was - it should have been max 1/4 the cost. No reflection on our tour guide himself who was great, friendly attentive and knowledgeable.
Kyle was a wonderful guide.

5.00A well rounded introduction to local life in Cebu City. We rode a Jeepney with locals, explored local markets, ate street food, and learned a bit about the history of Cebu.
