“More like a Family Excursion...”
My visit to the Philipinnes had a purpose to locate my future residence. It secondarily was to include some exploration and get a feel for this wonderful vast Island Country. In my time visiting Cebu, I had a thought to hire a guide, one familiar with many aspects of the area's geography, topography and history...I researched and found a gem...Leila. She tolerated my schefule and guest changes, but in the end took me on a most lively 2 hour ride through provinces, wet markets and more on the way up to our destination, Osmena Peak. A climb not quite as easy as one might be told. The base had a magical coffee house where we all were enchanted and entertained by a young wandering guitar attached to a wonderful and brilliant man who sang his heart out. Even my long musical history could not trip him up, so we all sang together as a preamble to the ascent. We didmake it all thecway, albeit with a bit of huffing and puffing. Nonetheless, in fine tradition once at the summit, I dropped my pants...it was hilarious while also freeing in recognition of all who climbed before and as encourement to all who would follow. Leila made sure I never felt like anything but a long time friend or family member...I think that is now just the facts Mam. Thank you zleila and crew for a memorable time not soon to be forgotten.

“Comprehensive Cebu highlights by comfortable air-conditioned car!”
It was first time trip to the Philippines. My husband and I were interested in local life and transportations. Leila was so experienced and professional. The communication with her was prompt and smooth from the beginning when I booked her tour. We've learnt lots from her. “Comprehensive tour" of Cebu was indeed so. Tour covered from Mactan Island, city central, even to mountain area, which looked difficult for us to get there by public transportation on our own. The driver, Jomar, was gendle and an excellent driver. Tour took us to the fantastic view ot Tops at the end of the day, which can't miss. THANK YOU VERY MUCH again, Leila-san for fantastic tour!
