Friendly Tips/Things to Remember/Important Info


(Whatever you might wanna call it, READ it):
* For budget travelers, don't take cabs in front of Mactan International Airport. For cheap taxi
service (metered taxi), go straight to the Exit area and cross the street. On the other side of the
street, you're going to see stairs that lead to a small white tent where you can wait for a cab. Fare
should be Php200 and below only.

* Make sure to specifically tell the taxi driver to which Sampaguita Suites you are headed to.
There are 2 Sampaguita Suites in Cebu. One is near Fuente Osmena (Sampaguita Suites JRG)
and the other one is near Basilica de Sto. Nino. Though, both are of good quality and great value
for money, do not forget to consider your itinerary. If you're planning to do the Skywalk Extreme
Adventure & Edge Coaster Ride at Crown Regency Hotel, then a dinner at Casa Verde, a stay in
Sampaguita Suites JRG is recommended.

* Much better to do the Skywalk Extreme Adventure before riding the Edge Coaster. The 360-
degree-night-view while you are on that Edge Coaster Ride is very captivating.

* Do not forget to pee before doing The Plunge.

* Bring waterproof/swimming shoes and goggles if you have; renting these gears for the
snorkeling activity will cost Php250.00/pax.

* There's a lot of cheap car rentals in Bohol (van or car), but I highly recommend this guy with
contact number 09059691947. I forgot his exact name though because we just called him
"Kuyang Masayahin". He is very knowledgeable about Bohol, its history, secret hideaways, and
stories from the locals. He is very friendly, accommodating, and is willing to make adjustments
with the itinerary just for your group to enjoy your Bohol tour. He is also an instant photographer
and Bohol dialect tutor at the same time. (The driver that we hired on our first day in Bohol was
so snob and kept on complaining. Sure, you do not want someone who keeps on ranting while
you are on a roadtrip, right?)
CEBU CITY TOUR:
Notes:
· This itinerary is ideal for first-time Cebu City visitors who want to visit Cebu’s ‘essential’
tourist landmarks.
. Don’t forget to pick up a free Cebu city map from the tourism booth in Mactan airport!
. Taxi rates in Cebu are the same as in Metro Manila. Up to 4 passengers may sit comfortably
inside a taxi cab.
. If you can, ask your taxi driver to drive by Fuente Osmena (circle) on your way to Tabo-
an/Carbon Markets, so you get to see the fountain landmark.
. Casa Gorordo entrance fee is P40 for adults, P15 for college students and P10 for elementary
and high school students.
. Entrance fee in Fort San Pedro (Fuerza de San Pedro) is P15 per person.
. The Santo Nino museum in Basilica Minore del Santo Nino is open Mondays-Sundays;
Entrance fee is P10.
. Entrance fee to Tops is P100 regardless of how long you will stay there. You will need to hire a
taxi (expensive!) or ride a jeep (take the jeep to JY Lahug, get off at JY square mall and hire a
Habal-habal* for about P50 per person). You may take it out of the itinerary and just go and visit
Marco Polo Hotel (it’s on a slightly elevated part of the mountain, on the way to Tops). Take the
elevator in Marco Polo Hotel and go to the highest floor (roof deck café). You will have a pretty
good view of Cebu City there, a cheaper trick!
. When in Tabo-an Market or Carbon Market, don’t forget to haggle, haggle, haggle!
. When pasalubong shopping, don’t forget to buy yourself a really good Cebu T-shirt (not the
cheap ones from the street). Go to Island Souvenirs.
. Most locals recommend shopping for pasalubongs* like dried mangoes and otap in SM City or
Metro Gaisano (instead of souvenir shops) because prices there are more consistent. There is a
Metro Gaisano mall in Ayala.
. If you have time, drop by CnT Lechon for dinner (in front of SM City or in Ayala Food
Choices) to taste what everybody says is the best lechon in Cebu.
. If you are not into lechon, another best place to check out is the SuTuKil/SuToKil/Su-To-Kil
(Sugba-Tola-Kilaw) place near SM City.

Options:
. Best use this itinerary as a filler to your even better Cebu beach itinerary (Bantayan,
Malapascua, Moalboal, Camotes, etc.).
. If have another day to spare, I suggest doing the Mactan-Olango Islands itinerary.
. Other airlines aside from Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific fly to Cebu City, like Zest Air,
Sea Air, Airphil Express. Check their websites to see their flight schedules.
. The flight schedules sampled above may change in time. I suggest that you check their websites
and adjust the itinerary to fit your schedule.
. There are plenty of hotels, inns and travel lodges to stay at in the City, but nothing beats staying
at a friend’s/relative’s house!
. You may take some things off of the itinerary if you feel like you don’t have enough time or
money. Take for example the Tops vs. Marco Polo option above and the Tabo-an vs. Carbon
Market option. Just consult your map to see where it is most convenient for you to go.
. Not included on this itinerary is the Magellan’s monument and Lapu-Lapu shrine in Mactan. I
suggest you visit the place on your way to the airport (before leaving Cebu). Just ask your taxi
driver to take you there and wait before dropping you off at the airport. You may do some last
minute souvenir shopping at the shell craft store there.
. Biking in Cebu is popular, you can grab a copy of Cycling Philippines for a detailed guide on
bike routes and trails in Cebu or visit www.bugoybikers.com for info on bike events and bike
rentals.
. The best time to visit Cebu is during the third week of January. There is a big celebration of the
town’s festival, the “Sinulog”, every 3rd Sunday of January in honor of their patron Saint, the
Santo Niño (the Child Jesus).
