Hi! I'm Hazel — a licensed and passionate tour guide with over 10 years of experience guiding both local and international travelers across the vibrant heart of Cebu and beyond. I’m not just here to walk you through places — I’m here to walk you through stories, flavors, and hidden corners that locals love and tourists often miss.
I specialize in customized, soulful walking tours that show you both the grit and the grace of Cebu. Whether it's the buzz of the Carbon Market, the untold tales of historic Colon Street, or the quiet spirit of the old Parian houses — I bring you beyond the brochure.
Why do I do this?
Because I believe in freedom — the freedom to express, to explore, to connect. I’ve spent years traveling solo, living off-grid, even dreaming of life in a campervan. I carry that same spirit into every tour I give: raw, real, and rooted in meaning. This isn’t your cookie-cutter walk — it’s an experience with soul.
If you’re the kind of traveler who’s curious, open-hearted, and looking for something more than surface-level, let’s walk.
Let’s discover Cebu not just as tourists — but as travelers, seekers, and storytellers.
Si quieres ver el Cebu auténtico y probar algunas especialidades típicas éste es tu tour.
Great tour with some interesting insights into Cebu food culture. Would recommend this tour for sure and also loved being able to ride a Jeepney.
BOOK THIS TOUR! Hazel did an amazing job teaching us about the history and food culture in Cebu. The market is very interesting to see. Hazel took us to a local place where we got a small workshop on how to make puso (rice wrapped in banana leaves that resembles a heart). Afterwords we ate the puso with pork brain.. DELICIOUS! The last stop was at a Michilin guide recommended restaurant that specializes in lechon. I have never had pork that tasted that good! The entire time Hazel made sure we were comfortable and we actually had nice conversations and laughed a lot with her. Do yourself a favor and book this tour if you want to get to know Cebu and support the locals while in great company of a great tour guide like Hazel.
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
