Was not expecting how good this was going to be. From the moment we got picked up at the hotel to drop off was amazing. Driver was also the guide and knew all about the attractions. He was our personal chauffeur for the I hrs of fun.

The overall tour was very interesting. Wear pants if you want to visit the Basilica. Marco, our driver, was very knowledgeable about the city. Definitely a must do when visiting Cebu for the first time.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad you enjoyed exploring Cebu and appreciated Marco's knowledge of the city. Thank you as well for sharing the helpful tip for future visitors to the Basilica. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Marco. We hope to welcome you back for another Cebu adventure soon!
If you’re traveling solo, I can’t recommend booking a private tour enough. It was one of the best decisions I made during my trip. My guide, Abam, was incredibly kind, professional, and made me feel comfortable from the moment we met. One thing I really appreciated was that he wasn’t overly talkative, he knew how to read the room and let me enjoy the scenery while still sharing interesting information along the way. It was the perfect balance. As a solo traveler, getting good photos can be a challenge, but Abam went above and beyond. He happily took countless pictures of me and even knew creative camera tricks. At one point, he turned my camera upside down to create a really unique perspective, and the photos turned out amazing! Those little touches made the experience even more memorable. If you’re on the fence about booking a private tour, especially as a solo traveler, do it. I highly recommend this experience, and if you get Abam as your guide, you’re in excellent hands!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for recommending our private tour! We're delighted to hear that traveling solo turned into such a memorable experience. Abam will be thrilled to know that his professionalism, kindness, and thoughtful approach made you feel comfortable throughout the day. We're especially happy that he was able to strike the perfect balance between giving you space to enjoy the journey and sharing helpful insights along the way. It's also great to hear that he helped capture such amazing photos and added those creative touches that made your memories even more special. Thank you for trusting us with your Cebu adventure. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable tour the next time you're in Cebu!

The driver was prompt. We started up in the hills at Sirao and worked our way back down into the city. We were allowed to explore each stop at our own pace. Lunch was great!! This was a perfect way to explore Cebu in one day. Tops Cebu will be a definite return visit in the evening for the lights of the city. Don't forget the sunscreen and/or an umbrella.🤗
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed exploring Cebu at your own pace, from the beautiful hills of Sirao down to the vibrant city. Glad you loved the lunch as well! 🌸✨ Tops Cebu truly is magical at night with the city lights. Thanks too for the helpful tips about sunscreen and umbrellas. We’d love to welcome you again on another Cebu adventure soon!
A very enjoyable day. Nice air condition car. Learned a lot about the history of the Philippines at the locations we stopped on the tour. Our driver Melchor was not only a great guy but also knew lots more about the history and we enjoyed hearing what he had to say. Lunch afterwards at House of Lechon was fabulous. Can recommend the tour highly

Angelo was our driver and he was very good; on time, clean, air conditioned, comfortable car and very helpful. The tour was a very full day and better than we anticipated with Tops, Temple of Leah and the Taoist Temple our highlights.

Had a wonderful experience on the Twin City Tour covering Cebu City and Lapu Lapu City. My driver and guide, Simar, truly made the day exceptional. Simar arrived early for the pickup and communicated smoothly with me over WhatsApp, which immediately made everything feel well organised and stress free. From the start, he was friendly, polite, and very easy to talk to. During the tour, he shared interesting and relevant information about each place we visited, which made the experience much more engaging. He also kindly offered to take photos at different scenic spots. He was consistently attentive, caring, and professional throughout the entire trip. His effort really stood out and made the tour feel special and memorable. I added on the House of Lechon lunch which was very much worth it, and also 10,000 roses which was a nice stop if you want to cover off all the major sites in Cebu. Thank you, Simar, for a truly wonderful experience.
Thank you so much for your kind and detailed review! We're really happy to hear you had such a wonderful time on our Twin City Tour package covering Cebu City and Lapu-Lapu City. Simar will be thrilled to know he made your experience extra special—from the smooth communication and early pickup to sharing insights and helping capture great moments along the way. That level of care and professionalism is exactly what we aim to deliver. We're also glad you enjoyed your add-ons like lunch at House of Lechon and the visit to 10,000 Roses Café—both are definitely guest favorites! Thanks again for choosing our Twin City Tour package. We hope to welcome you back to Cebu again soon!

Trip was fantastic Plenty to see, fantastic locations, excellent views from the tops and temple of Leah unfortunately we missed one or two places Due to wearing clothing that wasn’t allowed but overall it was great and would recommend to anyone wanting to view the seens P.S Wear pants and shirt and shoes as shorts and thongs won’t be okay for some of these locations and ladies best wearing something covered so not to much skin showing so t-shirt would be best
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're really glad to hear you had a fantastic trip and enjoyed the beautiful views, especially at the tops and Temple of Leah. We appreciate you pointing out the dress code requirements—this is very helpful for future guests. Some locations do have guidelines to maintain respect for the area, and we always recommend comfortable yet appropriate attire. We’re sorry you weren’t able to visit one or two stops because of this, but we’re happy to know you still had a great overall experience. Thank you again for recommending the tour, and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit!
