This is a very good tour of Cebu City with an awsome tour guide, I definitely highly recommend this tour if your in Cebu
Joe was great and fun loving guy, I was picked up from the hotel which was not on the list of pick up points. Please be advised that even though the listing says "Entrance and admission fees" are covered, they actually are not covered but still would rate the service as 5 star. Overall it was fun with DJ music all round the trip.
