You are very caring ✨
Abam's guide was amazing. It was a private tour, but they said they would ask, they would leave me alone when I was quiet, and the care they took was amazing. They were very aggressive in filming as well! Private tours are also recommended for abam.
Response from the operator: この度は素敵なレビューをありがとうございます!😊 Abamへの温かいお言葉をいただき、大変嬉しく思います。心地よい距離感でサポートし、写真撮影もお楽しみいただけたとのこと、何よりです。Abamにも必ずお伝えいたします。またセブでお会いできる日を、スタッフ一同楽しみにしております!

Terrible Experience
⚠️ Very disappointing experience ⚠️ We booked a half-day city tour in Cebu (11:30 AM – 4:30 PM), but after just 1 hour, the guide said the tour was finished — clearly not what was advertised. On top of that: • We were 5 people, but the car only had 4 seats • The driver was rude and difficult to understand This service was misleading and unprofessional. Very disappointing!
Response from the operator: We’re sorry to hear you felt disappointed, and we’d like to clarify what happened during your tour. All destinations included in the itinerary were visited. However, you chose to spend only around 10–15 minutes at each stop, which is why the tour itself was completed in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. After this, our driver coordinated with you on how you preferred to use the remaining time, and as agreed, you were dropped off at the airport at 4:57 PM (with record). Regarding the vehicle, the car provided is a registered 7-seater under LTFRB and the Department of Tourism, compliant with our franchise and standard capacity. You also requested to visit Sirao Garden, which is the city route and not part of the half-day itinerary. Our team politely explained that this would require an additional ₱1000 to cover fuel and extended travel time. Unfortunately, this led to some disagreement. Please note, the driver did not skip any stops in the package. The tour ended earlier than expected due to shorter stays at each destination and lighter traffic conditions in the city that day. We always aim to be flexible and accommodate guest preferences, and in this case, we followed your pacing and requests throughout the tour.

We had a great experience...
We had a great experience but please be aware that this is more like a private driver taking you to the three attractions and not actually a tour guide who comes into all the places and talks you through the history. This is also a shorter tour, so you still have a lot of the day left if you start in the morning. The three attractions are definitely worthwhile to visit, especially if you're into taking pictures.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the trip and found the attractions worthwhile—especially for photos 📸 Our Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah is designed as a flexible and convenient experience, where your driver assists you throughout the journey. While it is not a fully guided historical tour, our team is always happy to share basic information and help make your visit smooth and enjoyable. We also appreciate you pointing out that it’s a shorter tour—perfect for guests who want to explore more of Cebu afterward. Hope to see you again on another adventure! 😊

Great experience at Cebu Highlands
It was great day visiting Sirao Garden (a.k.a. Little Amsterdam), Tops (no visibility due to heavy fog), and Temple of Leah.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊 We’re glad you had a great day exploring Cebu’s top spots, especially the beautiful Sirao Garden and the majestic Temple of Leah. 🌸🏛️ We’re sorry that the views at Tops were affected by heavy fog—nature can be unpredictable, but we hope it still added a unique charm to your visit. We’d love to welcome you back on a clearer day for the full panoramic experience! 🌄

Enjoyable trip to several sites
Interesting tour of several attractions, mainly in the hills above Cebu City. Comfortable van, Richard was a skilled driver. Not much in the way of a monologue about the sites we were passing. Enjoyable day.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re glad to hear that you had an enjoyable day exploring the attractions in the hills above Cebu City and that you found the van comfortable. We’ll also be sure to pass along your kind words to Richard—he will be happy to know you appreciated his safe and skilled driving. We appreciate your feedback regarding the level of narration during the tour. For guests who prefer more detailed explanations, an optional licensed tour guide from the Department of Tourism can be requested as part of the tour inclusions, and we will continue reminding our team to proactively offer this option. We hope to welcome you again on another Cebu adventure soon!

Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cebu.
How much does Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah cost?
+
Prices start at $67 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cebu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cebu is not rushed.
Is Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cebu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cebu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cebu and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cebu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cebu?
+
On Outty we rank every Cebu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale Watching in Sumilon Island with Ocean View Resort Tour, Whale Shark & Tumalog Falls & Sumilon Sandbar & Pescador Island with Sardines, From Cebu: Oslob Whale Shark Swimming & Moalboal Sardine Run Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cebu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cebu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah?
+

Does Half Day Cebu Uphill Tour to Cebu Tops, Sirao and Temple of Leah include hotel pickup?
+

+
