Description:

As you tour Cebu and Mactan, explore the islands' rich history, fascinating architecture, and ancient buildings. Discover historic Fort San Pedro, ancient Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, and the world-famous Alegre Guitar Factory.

Your adventure begins as you head to Fort San Pedro—the oldest Spanish Fort in the Philippines. Tour the fort and see historical landscapes before visiting the Casa Gorordo museum, showcasing the elegant lifestyle of the Spanish and Filipino elites in the 18th century.

Next, explore the ancient Basilica Minore del Santo Niño—the oldest Roman Catholic church in the Philippines. Marvel at the architectural grandeur of this 15th-century sanctuary. Then visit the iconic Magellan's Cross, a symbol of the country's Christianization, and the Holy Child statue.

Head across the Mactan-Mandaue Bridge to charming Mactan Island and visit the Church of Our Lady of the Rule—Mactan’s national shrine. Continue to the well-known Alegre Guitar Factory and watch experts demonstrate the intricate art of guitar-making. Take the opportunity to purchase your very own customizable handmade guitar.

Your last stop is the majestic Liberty Shrine, erected on the battlefield where Mactan's liberation hero, Lapu-Lapu, defeated Spanish conquistador Ferdinand Magellan. Stand in awe of the Lapu-Lapu statue and enjoy scenic views of the mangrove forest before returning to your hotel.
