It’s summertime! And most of the people who knows that I am from Cebu Philippines, are sending me a message asking about where to go in Cebu.
We’re all different, we have different needs, we have different types, so I’ve decided to give you guys a three (3) different 1 day itinerary in Cebu. You may combine them, you may choose some, or you may choose all! It all depends on you, who’s with you, or what you want to experience.
First off, I’m not a DIY kind of person so most of these are either from the tours in the Exotic Philippines Tours or from WithLocals. I only DIY when I’m really familiar with the area, or have a friend tagging along that knows the area.
Also, I don’t have an estimate time for each activity, destinations, etc. since I’m a sucker for time tracking - so I totally failed in being a Cebu blogger on that part. I can give you a time frame though, hopefully, that would be enough. And most of the tours I’ll be recommending here are tours that I’ve tried myself.
1 Day Cebu Tour A – Cebu City Tour
This Cebu city tour is ideal for those who have less than a day in Cebu, or you’ll arrive around 9 or 10am in Cebu, and want to tour immediately.
9AM – Pick Up Time
Taoist Temple
Cebu Provincial Capitol Hall (Running Tour)
Fuente Osmena Circle (Running Tour)
Sergio Osmena Old House (Running Tour)
Colon Street
Heritage of Cebu Monument
Yap – San Diego Ancestral House
Magellan’s Cross
Basilica Minore Del Sto. Nino
11am or 12NN – Tour Ends
The tour will only last about 3 to 4 hours depending on the traffic too. Most likely you’ll end around 12nn. The rate depends on the number of persons since this is a private tour but for this itinerary you may book it or find more information about the tour through clicking the button below.
If you’ll be arriving or want to take similar tour but you’ll only be available at 1pm, then you might want to go for the afternoon tour with the same itinerary but on a fixed rate. It’s ideal if you’re just less than 8 persons and don’t mind having another group joining the tour since it’s a group tour.

1 Day Cebu Tour B – Whale Shark Watching and Tumalog Falls
Heard about Oslob’s whale shark? Want to meet them? Then this itinerary is for you! But please take notice of the pick up time since you’ll need to travel early to be in Oslob earlier than 12NN since the whale sharks will be gone around that time.
5am – Pick Up time
Oslob’s Whaleshark
Tumalog Falls
Baluarte (running tour)
Cartel (running tour)
Boljoon Church (running tour)
Carcar Shoe Expo (running tour)
4pm – Tour Ends (estimate)

If you want to tour around Cebu city and the Island of Mactan, then this day tour itinerary is recommended. The itinerary covers the historic places in Mactan and Cebu city but ideal to those who have at least 6 hours to spare for the day.
