Things to do in Sirao Garden

Had an amazing time on this Cebu private day tour with Simala! Our driver, Kuya Gesi, was awesome—very friendly, knowledgeable, and shared a lot of interesting facts about the places we visited. He also gave us helpful tips on what to do and what to avoid, which really made the whole experience smoother and more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for a hassle-free and memorable Cebu trip!

Andy, our driver-guide was very accomodating. We requested to be picked up at Dusit Thani at 7:30am instead of 6, and was back before 7pm. He was very considerate with my 81 year old mother, even helping her go up the hand statue at Sirao Garden. We were not able to enter Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral because it was under renovation. Our first stop was at Simala Shrine. We had an early lunch at Carcar and bought some souvenirs there as well (which I do not recommend because the lechon was bony and the food souvenirs was not of quality).

Tour guide are patient and very friendly. They will make sure to suggest best pick up time for u so that u don’t have to be in a very long queue for whale shark watching.

An unforgettable 4D3N experience in Cebu – made even better by our amazing driver Marlito! From start to finish, our 4-day, 3-night Cebu adventure was well-organized, smooth, and absolutely memorable. Every destination — from swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, canyoneering through the stunning falls of Kawasan, to exploring historical gems in the city — was thoughtfully planned and perfectly timed. A huge part of what made this trip so special was our driver -Marlito and tourguide supporters . Always punctual, well-informed, and extremely accommodating, they went above and beyond to ensure we felt safe, comfortable, and cared for. Their warm personality, fluent English, and local knowledge brought life to every place we visited. They were also incredibly helpful with taking photos, adjusting schedules to avoid crowds, and giving local tips that made our trip even more special. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Cebu — this tour is a perfect mix of nature, culture, and adventure. Thank you for making our journey so smooth and unforgettable!

Our tour guide Andy was amazing throughout the whole journey. Very friendly and helpful, making great suggestions for local food! He explained any fees and was very trustworthy handling interactions and cash purchases for parking etc. Definitely book this tour as the gardens are so beautiful- lots of tourists but it’s worth seeing. thank you Andy

This is a long day event . You get tited at the end of this tour but it is worth it. I highly recommend this . Thanls to Arnel and Betsy for the amazing tour . They are so nice.

Our Cebu tour was a memorable and fulfilling experience, made even better by the professionalism of our driver, Kuya Marcial. From the moment the trip began, he was punctual, respectful, and always ready to assist. His calm demeanor and familiarity with the routes made everything smooth and stress-free. The tour itself was well-paced, allowing us to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. Despite visiting several popular spots, we never felt overwhelmed. There was a perfect balance of spiritual reflection, cultural immersion, and scenic appreciation. It felt like we were truly connecting with the heart of Cebu—not just sightseeing, but experiencing its soul. Having someone like Kuya Marcial guiding us gave the trip a more personal touch. He wasn’t just a driver—he felt like a quiet yet reliable companion on our journey. The whole experience was organized and enjoyable, and I’d gladly recommend this kind of tour setup to friends and family planning a Cebu trip.

I had so much fun and laughter, and gained so much knowledge of the local cities from our tour guide. Danny was very descriptive in his explanations of historical events and gave excellent guidance on blending in with the local culture.
