What you can expect

Unlock the secrets of Cebu City—the Philippines' oldest city—and discover a trove of historical landmarks and fascinating museums. Embark on a private tour that leads you into the heart of the region, indulging in a full-day adventure that includes streamlined transport and a mouthwatering meal.

Begin your excursion at the Taoist Temple. Admire the site's tiered architecture and colourful façade, venturing inside to appreciate the entrance which was fashioned after China's Great Wall. Then, continue on to see Magellan's Cross and Fort San Pedro, the Philippines' first military stronghold. Revel in a moment of contemplative quiet in the Fort San Pedro courtyard before resuming your discoveries.

Continue your trip as you checking out the Basílica Minore del Santo Niño. Here, catch sight of a statue of the baby Jesus. Learn the storey behind the original Santo Niño, which Magellan famously presented to Lady Humamay during the 16th century. Then, journey onward to the Cebu Provincial Capitol designed by the famous architect, Juan M. Arellano.

Conclude your tour with a visit to Casa Gorordo, a fabled home which has been converted into a museum. Marvel at the structure's walls of coral stone and hardwood, and dream about what it might have been like to inhabit bustling Cebu City long ago.
