One of the most popular tourist destinations in southern Philippines is Cebu City. It is as busy and bustling as Manila, but still retains its rich cultural flavor. It is dotted with numerous attractions in the city that reflects its provincial lifestyle. Aside from being the Queen City of the South, Cebu is known as the city where the Spaniards first landed and stayed for over 300 years. Though you will see temples of other religions, Cebu is predominantly Catholic and you will notice the strong Spanish influence in its structures and way of life.
To have a feel of what Cebu is all about, why not take a 6 hour tour of the city? You can book with a tour group and van for hire company can pick you up from the seaport, resort or hotel. You just need to provide your travel details like the date, location and time of pick-up. You don’t need to give a down payment but you have to fully pay when you get to Cebu City.
