Real Stories From Real Guests

  • “The reviews don’t lie. I found Ronald through a Google maps search and came across him and read the reviews and messaged him right away. I messaged him last minute a day before our trip and he was able to accommodate us for 3 days. He is so friendly and personable you truly feel like a best friend or even a family member after the tour is over. His energy and commitment to you is incredible and he goes well above and beyond to make sure you have a one of a kind experience. He will take you to the truly local spots and not just the super touristy spots that are trying to make a profit. Coming from the US, we learned it is custom to pay cash up front so don’t worry about that. We can’t recommend Ronald enough. You will not forget the experience you have having him as a guide.”

  • “Ron was a top notch tour guide for my family of four. We discussed beforehand his recommendation and what best fit the amount of time we had for our time in Cebu. After agreeing on details he took care of all arrangements and made for a fantastic fun day of swimming with whale sharks, sea turtles and sardines. The van used was comfortable and safe and the driver was very skilled at navigating the roads. Ron took the opportunity to show us some of his favorite food stops, an added bonus. Overall, a relaxing time and a great guide, would recommend to anyone looking to explore Cebu further.”

  • “I and my partner stayed at Cebu for just 2 nights. We wanted to make the most out of it and I'm very glad someone recommend me RAO Tours! In our 2 days stay, they managed to tour us around the city, we encountered the whales in Oslob and did the canyoneering in Badian which is my personal favourite activity!Kuya Arar, the tour guide, looked after us so well. He made me felt safe especially during the canyoneering which is very important for me as I'm not a swimmer.I highly highly recommend RAO Tours! With them, you will surely enjoy your trip!”

  • “YOU GET MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAID FOR.Kuya Ar-ar is the best tour guide you can have. We had a Bohol-Cebu Tour for 5D5N. Everything was taken care of. Accommodations were great, we went to a lot of places even though it was not on the itinerary, the drivers were awesome especially Kuya Val and our guide/bodyguard Kuya Joe, we also learn a lot about the history of the places we've visited. Tinuod jud ni xa nga tour packages walay halo nga ilad.”

You'll have an instant bestfriend when you have him as your your guide. Hassle free, worry free, good vibes is what he will be offering on your journey. I can't wait to do another round of tour with the guys from My Cebu Tour Guide. Looking forward to another Cebu trip.”

  • “Me and my partner visited the Philippines for 2 weeks, during our time there we wanted to do a lot of activities. Our hotel booked us an experience with Ar-Ar for Whale sharks in Oslob, Aguinid falls and Kawasan falls. It was absolutely amazing and a once in a lifetime experience for us. I would highly recommend this to anybody going to Cebu and would definitely recommend My Cebu Tour Guide 100%.Ar-Ar was an amazing guide who shown us around and taught us a lot about his country and made us feel at home. Had no trouble or faults with any of it at all. Loved the experience and would do it again a million times over. Thank you! 😊”

  • “Ronald is a very professional and resourceful guide. He is flexible to tweak the programme to ensure you get the most out of your day. Canyoneering, zip lining and swimming with whale sharks at Cebu still outshone our activities at beautiful Palawan! He has a pleasant disposition and treats his guests as friends and with genuine care. He ensures your safety while providing you with the most exciting trip of your life. Highly recommended!”

    — Esther Lim

  • “Thank you so much Ronald!! Our trip with you to swim with Whale Sharks and canyoning was absolutely the highlight of our trip to the Philippines. You were a great guide along with Garing and Gypsy! Full of information on both history, current affairs and local knowledge and history. I whole heartedly recommend you and your team for anyone in Cebu the Philippines. We were blessed in the knowledge that our three kids (boys with no fear) 16,13 and 9 (and us) were in safe hands at all times, especially when jumping 15 m into a canyon ! Thank you!!”
