Private Cebu & Lapu-Lapu Twin City Tour with Temple of Leah, Sirao Garden & TOPS

About this experience

Discover the stories, flavours and views of the Queen City of the South on a full-day private tour designed around your group. With your own air-conditioned vehicle and driver, you’ll move comfortably between Cebu’s most important heritage landmarks in the morning and its cooler, scenic uphill attractions in the afternoon — stopping as long as you like at the places that interest you most.

Heritage downtown Cebu: Begin at the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, home of the country’s oldest religious relic, and the neighbouring Magellan’s Cross, planted in 1521. Walk the walls of Fort San Pedro, the oldest Spanish fort in the Philippines, see the sculpted Heritage of Cebu Monument, and step back in time inside the 17th-century Yap-San Diego Ancestral House.

Lapu-Lapu City: Cross to Mactan Island to visit the Mactan Shrine, honouring the chieftain Lapu-Lapu, and a local guitar factory where Cebu’s famous handcrafted guitars and ukuleles are made.

Uphill spots: After lunch, head into the hills to the Taoist Temple, the Roman-inspired Temple of Leah, the colourful flower fields of Sirao Garden and finally TOPS Lookout, with sweeping views over Metro Cebu and the Mactan Channel.

Entrance and parking fees are included, together with free hotel pick-up and drop-off within Cebu City, Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu — or same-day airport transfers if you’re arriving or departing. Lunch is at your own pace; ask about a plated lechon lunch at the House of Lechon as an add-on.

Good to know: Walking is light to moderate and most sites have parking close to the entrance. The order of stops can be adjusted for traffic and your preferences.
