Cebu City Tours: Temple of Leah, Sirao Garden, Magellan's Cross & Tops

Cebu City is where the Philippines' Spanish history began, and it's also full of hilltop views. In one day you can see the Temple of Leah, the flower garden at Sirao, the city view from Tops, and old landmarks like Magellan's Cross and the Basilica del Santo Niño. Pox Travel picks you up at your hotel or the airport in our own vans, with a local driver-guide.
