"Jae is an amazing guide! She showed us all the local places and also showed the non-touristic places. The local snacks were a good extra to the tour. We had a lot of fun, and would really recommend Jae! "

A Heartfelt, Authentic Food Tour
"Mary was an absolute joy with—talkative, outgoing, and incredibly friendly. The whole experience was fun, and genuinely enjoyable.
She guided me through some amazing local food spots in Cebu—places I never would’ve found on my own and that offered truly authentic dishes. Even though I don’t eat pork , Mary was extremely thoughtful and flexible. She made sure I still got the full foodie experience without compromising my dietary needs.
Thanks to Mary, I discovered a whole new side of Cebu’s food culture. Her passion, knowledge, and warm personality turned this tour into one of the highlights of my trip. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for more than just a food tour—Mary gives you a real, memorable experience."
"My friend and I had a fantastic, tailored tour with Jae. We started the tour with some sites in Cebu and we were taken to different streets that we would never have been able to find on our own. The food tasting was also amazing. Jae is incredibly friendly and professional; it’s clear she really loves her job and she went above and beyond. I wish we had a Jae in every place we visit! Would 100% recommend- you’ll have a great time "
"Due to our limited time Jae was able to organise a customised tour at very late notice, and we really appreciated this. She guided us through some of the religious and historical sites in Cebu City, answering all our questions and keeping us engaged with her story telling. Our favourite was the Yap Sandiego Ancestral House and the tasty food from Doming's Ngohiong. Thanks again Jae!"
"Had a wonderful tour with Micheal we got to see some historic buildings in Cebu along with tasting some great local food really enjoyed the tour.! Micheal also went out of his way to help us find items we were looking for would really recommend this tour with Micheal "
"Jae was a great guide. She was able to tell us all about the history of the places we visited as well as letting us experience the locals way of life from foods to riding in jeepneys!"

Private & Personalized Tours in Cebu with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Cebu, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Cebu spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Cebu.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Cebu, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Cebu awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Cebu, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Cebu. Get ready to explore like a local!
