Where: Cebu City
What: Do-It-Yourself Half day City Tour
A pre-booked city tour with a tour guide costs Php3,000.00 (good for 4pax) or Php1,600.00 (per pax) as per my inquiry with a friend who owns a travel agency and the hotel's tour desk, respectively. With a newly unemployed person like me, everything that involves large amount of money is a No-No. So I decided it for a DIY city tour.
Taxi Cab fare from Hotel to Sto.Niño Basilica Php 90.00
Entrance Fee @ Basilica FREE
Entrance Fee @ Magellan's Cross FREE
Candle Offering Php 100.00
Entrance Fee @ Fort San Pedro Php 30.00
Tip to Fort San Pedro's Volunteer Tour Guide Php 50.00
Lunch @ Jollibee Php 200.00
Taxi Cab fare from Basilica to Ayala Mall Php 85.00
Php 555.00
What to do: 1) Pray. Since it is a basilica, what better thing to do is to say grace and offer a
prayer.
2) Learn. With the religious figures in the right wing of the Basilica, you'll know a
lot about the saints' martyrdom and good deeds. While on the left wing, you'll
learn about the history of the Sto.Niño and the city.
3) Picture Taking.
