Overview
Cebu is where Philippine Christianity began in 1521, and the old city still tells that story. Visit the landmarks in the morning, then head up into the cool hills for temples, gardens and a sweeping view of Cebu.
Travel at an easy pace in a private air-conditioned van. Entrance fees and a local lunch are included, so the only thing to plan is your photos.
- Best for: First-time visitors, families, seniors

Before you go
Is this tour good for seniors?
Yes. The pace is relaxed, the van is air-conditioned and most stops need only short walks.
Can we change the stops?
