Getting out in the City - Chris was super friendly and really immersed us in the life of the city. I learned facts that would not have crossed my path without him. He made sure everyone was cared for and encouraged us to intermingle. I'm thankful I took the tour.

Amazing experience touring around Cebu! - I had an amazing experience touring around Cebu, the guide, Chris, was a marvellous storyteller and a really welcoming local! I truly believe that this is a must-do activity in order to know about the city, and most importantly the country as well. He had a depth of knowledge that was really impressive and had an amazing way of portraying it, which kept everything light-hearted and fun. He mentioned that he was a teacher in the past, and you can clearly see that coming into effect. Those students were very lucky to such a teacher.
We spent 3 hours walking around the city, going from monument to monument, and enhancing our knowledge and understanding in each.
We were 4 tourists, two solo travellers, my father and I. So group size was small and interactive with the guide, who ensured everyone understood everything.
