Hi! I'm Hazel โ€” 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. Iโ€™m not just here to walk you through places โ€” Iโ€™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 โ€” I bring you beyond the brochure. Why do I do this? Because I believe in freedom โ€” the freedom to express, to explore, to connect. Iโ€™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 isnโ€™t your cookie-cutter walk โ€” itโ€™s an experience with soul. If youโ€™re the kind of traveler whoโ€™s curious, open-hearted, and looking for something more than surface-level, letโ€™s walk. Letโ€™s discover Cebu not just as tourists โ€” but as travelers, seekers, and storytellers.
