“We booked this excursion for half day tour in Cebu and only had one day to do it . Having booked it and paid for it - we were getting ready to get to meeting point when we got a Whatusp message to say that they were fully booked and could not accommodate us - so we never got to experience this . We are still waiting for our refund . I would not recommend this experience to anyone . Very disappointed.”

“The views are interesting, but it also depends a lot on the driver.”

“Very good! Ricks, our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his knowledge of the places and history, Perhaps a good guide on how long each stop would be would help to manage the time. Guide tried to set it but it for some sites it seemed to long and some, it seemed short. Perhaps this can be planned out better to manage the time better specially for those who need to be back with the time indicated for the tour. Otherwise, the tour was good!”
Cebu half-day tour of Magellan’s Cross, Santo Niño Basilica, Fort San Pedro, and Colon Street, with pickup, guide, and entrances included.
“Good morning tour. Pick up on time and covered all the sites. Parked close to each. Covered early history. If Magellan had of sailed under PNG, he maybe would have discovered Australia 100 years before Dutch and 200 years before British. We could have been speaking Spanish. Would recommend.”
Pick the island first. The boat sorts itself out.
