My friend and I had a fantastic, tailored tour with Jae. We started the tour with some sites in Cebu and we were taken to different streets that we would never have been able to find on our own. The food tasting was also amazing. Jae is incredibly friendly and professional; it’s clear she really loves her job and she went above and beyond. I wish we had a Jae in every place we visit! Would 100% recommend- you’ll have a great time Amazing afternoon with Jae!

Due to our limited time Jae was able to organise a customised tour at very late notice, and we really appreciated this. She guided us through some of the religious and historical sites in Cebu City, answering all our questions and keeping us engaged with her story telling. Our favourite was the Yap Sandiego Ancestral House and the tasty food from Doming's Ngohiong. Thanks again Jae!Knowledgeable, friendly, kind and flexible

"Such a unique experience. There are so many foods that are native to Cebu and unavailable anywhere else in the world. Jaeyhillia showed me some of the local delicacies that I wouldn't have dared to try on my own. The tuslob buwa was so good we had seconds. The balut...my recommendation is to try it once, and never try it again. I Besides the food, Jaeyhillia was a pleasure to spend an evening with and she was able to accommodate me very last minute. Thank you again!"Local Experience review

This was the best way to spend an evening in Cebu! Jae is very knowledgeable about the area, food, history, and cultural influence. She even went above and beyond to help us arrange transportation after the tour was over. 10/10 would recommend it to everyone visiting Cebu."Local Street Food Experience

Jae was very prompt at communicating and helped to adjust the itinerary as per my suggestions. This is as local experience as it gets! Cebu was not that easy to plan around as it is not that straightforward to hire a driver or figure out the transportation system yourself. I am so happy I connected with Jae and we had a great trip, very much recommended for solo travellers as she is a lovely companion, street smart charming girl:)Guest Experience
