  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.

• 5Solo Travel Done Right!

  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!
