Hi there! 👋 I’m [**@benjtupas**](https://www.instagram.com/benjtupas) and welcome to another [**Travel PH82 Guide** 🇵🇭](https://www.benjtupas.com/ph82) where I write DIY and budget-friendly guides for group and solo travelers on how to visit all 82 provinces of the Philippines!&#x20;

For today’s guide, let’s virtually explore Cebu City. This was a side trip during my [**Bantayan**](https://www.benjtupas.com/ph/bantayan) visi&#x74;**.**

I highly recommend visiting other areas of Cebu like [Whale Shark Watching + Tumalog Falls in Oslob](https://bit.ly/ph82-oslob-whale-shark) and [Badian Canyoneering + Kawasan Falls](https://bit.ly/ph82-badian-canyoneering-and-kawasan). Use Klook promo code **BENJ5OFF** to get 5% OFF on all Klook activities. 😍

I've tried all of them before I started this guide. I'll revisit some time in the future to create guides. 🙏

Let's start this DIY and solo traveler-friendly guide. 😍

## Going There:

✈️ Book a flight to Mactan Cebu International Airport via Cebu Pacific or Philippine Airlines

🛵 Hire a tour guide for P800
