Dilfer gave a very informative 35 minute talk the history of the house. Afterwards we enjoyed a snack at the cafe.

- burghughesGreendale, WI1,008 contributionsThis was my fourth time here and I always enjoy it. Itās a beautiful place for an afternoon walk. Even though it was hot while we were there , there is plenty of shade to be found
We had a volunteer tour guide for part of our visit this time. He was filled with information, but delivery was pretty boring and he spent way to long in each section, so after a while I tipped him 300 pesos and we explored on our own. Where the tour guide is really helpful is in the galleries to explain the art pieces, after that I suggest type and go on your own.Written 10 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

As soon as I arrived, I was immediately struck by the peaceful atmosphere and the stunning architecture.
The prayer halls were serene, and I found myself taking a moment to reflect and connect with my spirituality. Lighting incense and making wishes felt incredibly meaningful and personal.Written 7 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A coffee shop" Le Vie " was a good stop over on this tops road overlooks also of the city! This coffee shop appears like a french shop, with "french like" pastries, etc. The tops road is a long drive to the top, well worth it, it has excellent views.Written 2 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HieatsreychPhilippines306 contributionsMagellan's Cross in Cebu, Philippines is a historic and symbolic landmark that holds great significance. Standing in front of the cross, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence. It's a powerful reminder of the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines and the beginnings of a rich cultural heritage.Written 7 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Simon CAshtead, UK782 contributionsApparently, this is the oldest Chinese house in Cebu and I was told āmost is originalā.
I am sceptical, the floorboards like more like 35 years old not 350 and nails were not around in the 1670s. The owners, I mam told, stay at weekends, but hard to see quite where since their bedroom looked very unoccupied.
One uncomfortable moment was in the garden where there is a harpist, who for a few peso, will play a little, at which three young children- aged between 4-7, dressed in traditional dress wake up (or are woken) from dozing in a nearby room and rush to perform a series of whirls and swirls. They donāt look happy and I felt this bordered on child abuse.
The harpist told me these were his children, so does this make it ok?Written 26 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Cebu Ocean Park nicely designed , with all the different individual fish tanks of various sizes , with plenty of amazing fish to see .. plus snakes
The entrance price is higher on weekends & public holidays .. plus children pay the same entrance price as adultsWritten 27 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Great organization of the timeline and facts. Feels very good to be there and have a glance on what the past Cebu looks like. A must visit for history enthusiasts. I wish they had more space for more artifacts though. Overall, it was a great learning experience.Written 14 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- RRDubai, United Arab Emirates47 contributionsBeautiful flower garden but not much accesible that we rented out a taxi just to go there as they refused to drop you. Entrance of 60 and instagrammable sceneries will not fail you.Written 13 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
