Mactan Island and Cebu in One Day with Lunch

Mactan Island and Cebu in One Day with Lunch

This 6-hour guided tour covers the sights of Cebu city and Mactan Island. A guide takes you on a tour of the historical and beautiful province of Cebu, including Fort San Pedro, the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino, and the Lapu-Lapu Statue. Lunch or dinner will be served at a local restaurant.

Start your sightseeing with pickup from selected hotels or resorts within Metro Cebu. Follow your guide on a walk around the city and discover its colonial past. Visit Fort San Pedro and trace back the history of the colonial city, then observe how the local people express their faith at the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino and Magellan's Cross.

Then head to Lapu-Lapu on Mactan Island, connected by a bridge. The city was the site of the 16th-century Battle of Mactan when Spanish conquistadors suffered their defeat at the hands of the Filipino people, led by the ruler Lapu-Lapu. A shrine in the hero's honor is among those frequently visited by tourists.

In addition to the monument, you'll stop at a guitar factory for a look at handmade instruments, then visit a fashion accessories factory and a dried mango factory. Have lunch or dinner and walk on the seashore and see the sunset (afternoon tour), before drop-off at your hotel.
