Cebu City Tour, Philippines' Hidden Treasures

One of the places i love is Cebu City. From friendly people, clean city, it is rich in History. Been here for countless times, still i love to visit the place every vacation.

Basilica Del Santo Niño

Yap-Sandiego Ancestral House 

You will get fascinated by this ancestral house. It is known to be the oldest Chinese house in Cebu City. It was built some time between 1675 to 1700. Presently, it is still well preserved. You will appreciate how they lived during those times. Creaking of the wood floors will give a feeling of ancient era.

Lantaw Busay 

 One of the best dining restaurant you could experience. At the top of  a hill, overlooking the city. Best foods at the right price.

You can arrange your trip with Kuya Richard. He will bring you to these places and so much more. If you are traveling with a group, just tell him you need a bigger vehicle.

Hope this helps! Enjoy. :)
