Activity itinerary

Sirao flower garden

Sirao Pictorial Garden and Camping Site, located in Barangay Sirao, Cebu City, is a distinct attraction from the original Sirao Flower Garden. It offers a unique experience with a blend of natural beauty and man-made structures. While it's somewhat smaller compared to the original garden, it still holds its own charm. The site features numerous man-made structures, which, at times, might overshadow the natural mountainous backdrop. However, these structures, including a notable feature known as "the hand", are popular for photography. The garden has evolved from a small garden to a favoured spot for photographers and social media influencers. It's not just about flowers; the garden has worked on improving its aesthetics to attract more visitors.

If you have nothing better to do and want to just kill time, this tour is for you. The Taoist temple is ok but not impressive. The Temple of Leah was pretty cool even though it’s just a monument built in 2012 to his wife. It has a very nice view of the city and architecture is impressive. The garden looks like a bunch of hippies made it. Unique but not worth paying to see. The fish market they brought us to smelled terrible, there was nothing to do there, and almost nothing to purchase Unless you planned on bringing some dried fish home with you in your purse. Then it took us almost an hour to get to the island where the 1000 roses are. Just FYI, the roses are plastic roses on the ends of plastic sticks lined up. The only thing we drove up to that seemed like it would have been culturally significant was the Cebu monument, But they said we was part time so we didn’t even get out. We just stopped in front of it and they told us about it. While we was at the Rose Garden Café, they told everyone what time to be at the vehicle. Half of the group got back and sat in the van half an hour, while the tour guide and a few people that I assume she was friends with sat at the café until Some group member showed up complaining saying they’ve been sitting in the van all this time. Luckily, I was in the café and seen that the others were just sitting there so I will sit there waiting. This tour makes it seem like Cebu And the Filipino people have no culture on their own or significant sites so they just bring you to random sites to get your money and it feels like a waste of time. I will say the tour guide was very personable and very friendly. The whole group in general was just a nice bunch of people that was the highlight of the trip. I’m honestly shocked it has such a high rating. I’ve been on many tours in many countries And this was absolutely the worst!

Very thorough Tour with Vicky as our guide. She spoke really good English and explained the history of each location. We were given plenty of time at each station except during lunch. I wish we had more time to eat! Cebu is a beautiful place. Highly recommend this tour!

Mark was a great guide. I would add going to the fort not just the cross and the basilica in old Cebu.

There was a mix up and we ended up on Cyrus’s tour. He solved the issue for us and took care of everyone until the end. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of Cebu with us and for ensuring we found transport back to our hotels.

This tour experience truly made my trip. The opportunity to feel the pulse of the incredible city that is Cebu, from its origins to the present, left me feeling closer to Cebuanos and their rich culture. Cyrus was an extremely helpful and informative guide, sharing a bunch of history with us, serving as our photographer, and making sure that we all felt welcome here in Cebu. His passion for the city shows in the work that he does and the care that he puts into his tours, at multiple points it felt Cyrus was more than a guide, it felt like he was a friend. And the added bonus, was that I began this trip solo, but was able to connect with some amazing people over the course of the trip and look forward to connecting with them again in the future! Yes, traffic can be a challenge, but in 1 day you get to see a ton of what Cebu has to offer - it doesn’t get better than that. And if you do book this trip - make sure to ask for a video from the human drone at the last stop - you can thank me later!

My partner and I enjoyed everything about this tour. Cyrus was so friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Cebu. We’re so glad we didn’t go see these attractions by ourselves because there’s so much history behind the sites we wouldn’t have learned about!

The most memorable parts of the tour was meeting the people on the tour, they were very friendly. Some of the sights were memorable but was very disappointed that although the driver was very nice he was not a tour guide which was outlined as part of the tour. As a result we did not get an overview of what the sights were about. Also 75 percent of the time in traffic
