5.00Booked food tour with Blu Range Tours, because we have one extra day before flight home. It is very good! I try many Filipino dishes, all so delicious. Our tour guide, Cyrus, he explain everything very good. We have very nice time and for sure we book again next time.
Disappointing Experience – Not a Real Food Tour

2.00I booked this food tour in Cebu expecting an authentic experience, but it was very disappointing. The company did not provide the meeting point until I chased them just a few hours before the tour, and the actual activity was completely different from what was advertised. Instead of exploring local food culture, we sat in a food court while the guide brought about 10 USD worth of food to our table, yet the cost was 70 USD per person. The only positive part was the guide himself—he was kind and even took us to a nearby church afterward—but overall this was not a real food tour and I would not recommend it.
Excellent tour

5.00Really 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...

4.00More 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.

5.00Lieznel was our tour guide, she was amazing at showing us around to different food places and explaining the history of Cebu! Bare in mind, you will be eating a lot (it's not just sample portions it's full portions every location) so make sure you have lots of room to eat. Lastly, The food that she showed was a mixture of everything Cebu had to offer and keep in mind it is all pure Filipino Street food so it may not be the same condition as Western Street food. Regardless, the food was delicious and overall a unique cultural experience!
