Alfredo Alpasa jr did a fantastic job. I'm a traveler coming from USA and need a friend to help me safely get off the plane and to my room. Also, he informs me of the 'do's' and 'donts' of Cebu. He giving me information for my safety, while staying in Cebu. I give him a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. if you take this tour, you will enjoy learning his years of experience on the history of Cebu.

Our family spent 6 hours touring Cebu with Alfredo. He was a fantastic guide. We ranged in age from 6-72 and he managed to make the day magical for all ages. From visiting museums to private tours of a fort to a special lunch with dancers and martial arts students who invited us to join them, Alfredo did it all. We cannot recommend him highly enough.

Alfredo is an excellent tour guide! Friendly and knowledgeable of the history of the area. He is flexible and accommodating, customizing our tours. He arranges transportation and takes care of all ticketing, as well as suggests great places to eat. We used him in Cebu and Bohol. We highly recommend using him in the area!
Rex P.United States
Alfredo was our favorite guide! He is very easy to coordinate with, responsive, and provided great advice on planning based on our timeline and interests. He recommended a great scuba diving shop. Alfredo has great English, very professional, likable, and very knowledgeable about Cebu and its history which made our tour enjoyable with fun engaging conversation. Food was delicious. We loved the Kawasan Canyoneering, do the zip line at the top, you'll feel like you are flying! Tour was awesome!
