Cebu City Food Tour

Amazing tour! It was our first time booking something like this, so we honestly had no expectations, but it ended up being sooo fun and interesting! We got to discover places we definitely wouldn't have ended up at on our own and used methods of transportation that we otherwise wouldn’t have taken in Cebu. Highly recommend you give it a try! You won’t regret it.

Another winning Guru tour. I have taken Guru tours all over the world, and I especially enjoyed this intimate group of people that I toured with. Hazel, our host, was so delightful. She started the tour at Magellan Cross. And gave us history and insight into the Philippine culture right from the beginning. The tour was an easy walk around the backstreet of the fruit and vegetable and flour market that has been around for over 120 years. I love seeing all the vendors playing their fruits and vegetables and being part of the vibe of the market.. Hazel took time to speak to us individually ask us about ourselves and share her stories and we had so much fun. We took a jitney and learned firsthand and if you sit in the seat directly behind the driver, you’re in charge of collecting all the funds for the passengers and giving them change. You just don’t get that kind of experience anywhere else, but on a. Guru tour. I hope that you found this review interesting and then you spread the word and get Guru going all over the world

This ended up being more of a food tour with very nice surprises

Hazel is super attentive and a great guru!

Fantastic tour with great storytelling about the history and culture of the Phillipines! I am appreciative of being able to get the chance to spend my first day in the Phillipines with a walking tour like this. Started with a good download of the history, and with some interesting facts about some of the questionable traditions sprinkled in there. And then midway went to the Carbon Market to try some Puta - I wished we had more time for that! Great tour guide! Recommend this tour - it is more history over a food tour FYI.

Perfect tour! Lloyd is very knowledgeable and everything he tells is very interesting. I learned and saw a lot during the tour. On top of that, we were able to enjoy some nice street food as well. I would recommend this tour to everyone!

Amazing experience with Hazel! I honestly kept my expectations average at first. I’m Filipino, so I thought I already knew what to expect from a Cebu tour. The trip was mainly for my foreign partner and my nephews who had never been to Cebu. But surprisingly, even I learned a lot. Many of the stories and details Hazel shared were completely new to me. One highlight was the hanging rice weaving activity in the tuslob buwa stop (nice owners too!). I underestimated that part, but it turned out to be really interesting. And when Hazel asks if you want to try food at a food court or at a local place, choose the local place! My mom was even surprised at how clean and organized the tuslob buwa spot was. Before we started, Hazel checked with all of us about our comfort and preferences. She kept her energy the whole time and made sure everyone was involved. She even asked trivia questions so my teenage nephews stayed engaged and didn’t feel left out. We also had a really nice conversation during dinner at the lechon house. The food was amazing. Her English is excellent, so the conversation was smooth and easy. Riding the e-bike, walking through the oldest market while it was coming to life in the afternoon, and seeing everything up close made the whole experience very memorable. Don’t miss booking a tour with Hazel. Highly recommended!

Hazel, the tour, the food and the places we visited were amazing!

Si quieres conocer la cultura asiática de la manera mas pura y autentica, este es tu tour!!! Quedamos enamorados de este tour porque nos parecio muy completo y la comida nos sorprendió muchisimo, no dudo en recomendárselo a cualquier persona que visite Cebu, es un indispensable! :)

Great unusual tour, very local. Fab meal at the end recommended.

Great experience if you are visiting Cebu! My favourite parts were the food tastings and the jeepney ride.

The best tour I have ever done! Hazel was amazing so lovely, knowledgeable and funny, and she really showed us the best spots. We went to places I would of never gone to on my own, everything was perfect, thank you so much Hazel!

I had an excellent experience with Hazel as my tour guide. I was the only guest on the tour, which made it feel very personal and tailored to my interests. She took me to some of the best ადგილ spots to try authentic local food, each one better than the last. One of the highlights was meeting local students, taking photos with them, and experiencing a jeepney ride—such a thoughtful way to connect with the local culture. To top it all off, she brought me to an outstanding local restaurant where I had the best pork lechon in town. Overall, I highly recommend Hazel to anyone looking for a memorable food tour in Cebu.

It was better than expected. If you go to this tour, do not eat before. You will have a lot of food there 🍲😉

Truly Amazing Thank you Louidth. I had a wonderful afternoon. We covered the most important parts of Cebu City which have me a completely new perspective on the city. Louidth went beyond my expectations and showed me the historic part as well as the local areas. He is super knowledgeable, and open to adapt the tour if something is more interesting to you. We even shared a local dish, which was delicious. I would everyone who comes to Cebu recommend to take a tour with Louidth. Thank you

Hazel’s tour is AMAZING! This was my first Guru Walk. I got to try different local food which was something I really wanted to do. A real culture culture dive. Highly recommended. If you are thinking about it, just book it ;)

If you’re interested to get to know local food in different places , book it! I enjoyed walking around from local market up to high ranking restaurant.

This Guruwalk was an amazing experience from beginning to end. The places we visited were wonderful, and the chance to interact not only with the other members but also with local people made it feel very genuine and memorable. What made it even more special was the ending — a superb meal at a Michelin-recognized restaurant, where we enjoyed traditional Filipino lechon. It would have been almost impossible for me to visit so many places by myself at one time, so this tour was truly worth it. A happy experience with a delightful surprise at the end.

We had a wonderful experience on this city tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly, especially the local food that we had the chance to try along the way. She brought us to Carbon Market, which is one of the most popular and historic trading markets in Cebu. It was very interesting to see the local atmosphere there. She also gave us the opportunity to try making *puso* (hanging rice), which was quite challenging for us but also a very fun and unique cultural experience. Another highlight of the tour was the lechon restaurant she recommended. The food there was delicious and felt very authentic. Overall, we had an amazing experience both with the tour and with our guide. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore Cebu and learn more about its local culture and food.

Hazel is amazing! The tour was very divers, entertaining and interesting. I highly recommend this tour. The food you'll eat is very different compared to what we eat in the western world but it's good to come out of your comfortzone once in a while. The Michelin stop was extra ordinary! I felt sick that day, had to collect all my energy to join the tour but Hazel was patient and understanding. We even made a stop at a pharmacy so I could buy medication.

Hazel was a great guide. Very informative. Highly recommend

It was a pleasure to spend time with Lloyd and recommend his tour to everyone

One of the best city tours I’ve done. If you are looking to live the city from the inside this is a must in Cebu. We saw the real Cebu. Hazel is an amazing guide. It’s not only about food, it’s about traditions and their culture. It’s a very original tour!!

We had a great time with Hazel and we really experienced how people from Cebu eat and get around. Definitely one of the best walking tours I have ever done

Hazel has managed to create a really intimate tour showing off the best of her home city of Cebu. The tour took us off the beaten track into local markets and neighbourhoods of which we wouldn’t have ventured into otherwise. The food of which we tried was simply unbelievable. Really good local dishes and great people who served them to us. This trip is ideal to any foodie! Hazel can also accomodate to other dietary needs if required, another great aspect of her ability of a true guru of a tour guide. This is a must do activity if you are in Cebu!
