I love booking food tours and found this tour to be incredibly worth it! I book on my first day or two just to understand the food, types of dining, and I feel it builds confidence. We met our tour guide promptly and had quite the experience. We got to ride in a jeepney and saw many historical sites. Food wise, we tried so many delicious items I can't really keep track of what we ate. Lechon was of course very good and I got to try Balut. Honestly, I liked it! The guides were knowledgeable, fun, and very organized. I highly recommend booking this tour!

Lorelle (owner of this business) provides a unique cultural food tour, opportunity presents to communicate to the local people. Loved her open and honest approach and friendly manner. He works outstanding how she is engaging with grass routes organisations to better and open opportunities for the real people of Phillipines. One small critique I felt this group a little rushed otherwise excellent and exceptional.

Lorelei gave an awesome tour!!! We had just landed two hours prior to our tour start time and what an introduction to the city! She told us the Filipino (hi)story, while taking us to historic sites, fed us local street food along the way all while supporting the local community. We walked and took a Jeepney where we connected with friendly locals along the way. She fed our minds and tummies. Absolutely recommend!!!

This was one of the best tours we've ever taken! We still cannot believe some of the food we tried but our guide Lorelie was so cool and fun, she somehow convinced us to and we are so glad she did. You HAVE to request her for your tour. Our group was small, just four people. We all bonded and had a great experience. The tour has multiple sightseeing stops along the way, making the price unbeatable. The market was an awesome way to end the night. So vibrant and exciting. I highly recommend this tour

From the moment we met our guide Lorelie ( Lore) we new we were in for a great time and she was full of information and guided us through the streets of Cebu including a ride with locals in the back of a jeepne who’s was an experience. The food we were able to taste was crazy ( pig innards deep fried and Filipino street foods and beers. Followed by your of fruit and veg market streets a 600+ year old home, learnt some history of Cebu and toured some churches which were in amazing condition for their age. Would highly recommend Lore to anyone thinking of doing this tour

Lorelie is an amazing guide and keeps you entertained, I enjoyed the chats we had. I couldn’t help but feel let down by the tour. I feel that it is very expensive, yet you’re taken to the poor part of Cebu and given the cheap street food like chicken and pig intestine, chicken heart and liver. I ate those kind of things in China when I lived there. I wanted some authentic sisig or adobo, the typical and famous Filipino cuisine. The sights to see are ok but definitely do not make the price of this tour worth it. I didn’t get lechon because apparently they’re only open on Friday Saturday Sunday, so if you go on a weekday, you just get taken to the poverished area and eat that food , which is interesting and eye opening, however not worth the price.

Lorelie is a very pleasant and knowledgeable guide. The tour really gave us a taste of life in Cebu city, and the city’s culture and history. We saw all the major sights and tasted some great food! My only feedback is that the tour would be less rushed if it was an hour or two longer or if one of the street food stops was removed. Overall the tour was a great experience for the whole family!

It was a great tour as we have an awesome tour guide Lorie. Lorie shown us the real Cebu. She let the tourist experienced riding the local transport system and shown those historical places, she also let us tried local foods that really appreciated by foreigners in our group. This tour is highly recommended if you want to know and experience the real Cebu City.

Lorelie was incredibly friendly, accommodating, and has a great sense of humor. She really ensures those on the tour are comfortable, will take pictures of you at the different spots, and locate any food you’d like to try. She is very knowledgeable and makes sure everyone is well taken of during the tour. She made the tour really enjoyable. It was a great time! Thank you, Lorelie!

Had an amazing time. If you want to get to know some of the history of Cebu while eating local food, this is the right tour.
Lorelie is a great host, funny, genuinely interested and outspoken. Although some of the experiences are a little bit adventurous for europeans, we felt very safe with Lorelie.
