    Really interesting tour. Tje meeting place listed is not where you meet, its permanently closed, however, my guide Cyrus had a plan ready to go. Don't eat before you go, it isnt just bite tasting, its meals, lots of food. The Pungko Pungko experience was unique for me. The Halo Halo dessert was fantastic. Really fun time with my guide. Again, show up with an empty stomach, its worthwhile

    More sweet tastings than savory. Wear comfortable shoes. Cyrus and Shana (sp?) worked very hard to make sure we had a good experience.

  • A must do in Cebu.
