Cebu Highlands Tour (Tops,Taoist temple, Leah and sirao garden)
Description
What makes this tour unique is that it’s designed by a local who truly knows the city. You’ll visit four of Cebu’s most iconic highland spots—the Taoist Temple, Temple of Leah, Sirao Flower Garden, and Tops Cebu—each offering a different perspective of Cebu’s culture, history, and natural beauty. Along the way, I share local food recommendations, hidden spots, and practical tips to help you experience Cebu beyond the tour. From where to eat to what else to explore, you’ll leave with a deeper understanding of the city and the confidence to enjoy it like a local.

Itinerary
Your first stop is Cebu Taoist Temple. It is one of the most popular attractions in Cebu City. It is filled with classical Chinese architecture, sculptures and calligraphy. It is open to both worshippers and non worshippers.
For the next tour, we will visit Temple of Leah also called as "Taj Mahal" in Cebu. It is one of the top cultural and historical sites in Cebu City. Temple of Leah has 24 chambers housing a library, bar, museum, and gallery. It is located in Barangay Busay
For the 2nd trip, if you want an "Instagrammable" picture, we have the Sirao Flower Garden also known as The Little Amsterdam of Cebu City. Definitely one of the main attractions in Cebu. This beautiful garden is located in Brgy. Sirao, Cebu City.
Enjoy a quick escape to Tops Cebu, where cool mountain air and stunning panoramic views await. Take in sweeping sights of Cebu City, the coastline, and nearby islands—perfect for photos and relaxation. Walk around the viewing deck, enjoy the scenery, and catch a beautiful sunset for an unforgettable Cebu experience.

Angel was very nice the driver was a safe driver
This was a great adventure and Chuck our driver did a great job getting us around safely to each location with plenty of time to explore at each spot
The tour guide is very attentive to us and his knowledge about the history of places is good. Just feel the tour is very rush.
It was a nice experience because it gave us a glance of the Philippines culture. The guide Angel was very good and helpful. He answered all questions we asked. The driver was very good as well. Over all it was a worthy tour to take.
I highly recommend this experience. Each spot is unique & worth the drive. Our driver & tour guide were amazing & very helpful.
Taoist Temple in Cebu, my husband thought pretty impressive! I've been quite a few times but I took my husband for the first time. Sirao gardens nice but not much flowers at this time because of the heat! The statues Instagrammable worthy. Tops was for me the most beautiful one 😍 pictures and the structure pretty impressive 😍 the view is spectacular!Temple of Leah been there quite a few times but my husband's first ♥️ again it's the view up there is the most iconic each time!Overall we had a great time! Bring along umbrella 🌂 pretty hot!
Had this tour and the guide didn't give any information about Cebu or the locations we went to. NOTHING! He didn't introduce himself, he didn't walk us around the stops, he was silent and provided no stories, no information, nothing at all. The tour listing advertises "with a guide to tell their stories" and "Get a local’s perspective on Cebu, including tips and food recommendations" and "Hear the enduring love story that underpins the Temple of Leah" - this is all a lie. I highly recommend finding a taxi driver and hiring them for the day to take you around because they'll definitely have more knowledge and energy to share. Very disappointed
Great way to see the sights getting us through the Cebu traffic to each point. Angel was a good guide.
For $47 you get long drives, up winding mountain roads clogged with cars, vans, trucks and MANY motorcycles, to see four touristy places, none of which will contribute to your understanding of the country, culture or people. The "guides" were drivers, offering precious little information. There wasn't much organization and I learned NOTHING. There weren't even any bathroom stops in 5 hours, much less mention of where we could find toilets. There was no prior mention of curving mountain roads, steep hills, steps. It was: Here. You're here. Take pictures. See you later. Awful.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. Our Cebu Highlands tour is mainly a sightseeing experience with several mountain destinations in a limited time, but we understand the road conditions, stops, and tour style may not suit everyone. We also appreciate your comments about the guide information, organization, and restroom stops, and we’ll work on improving these for future guests. Thank you again for sharing your experience.
Interesting tour. Angel was a helpful tour guide. Thanks............................................
