Package overview
This is the culture-focused counterpart to Indochina Signature's Oslob whale shark itinerary, using the same Manila-to-Cebu structure but replacing the wildlife day with a detailed Cebu Twin City heritage tour. Two nights in Manila include a city tour, a stop at Destileria Limtuaco distillery with an Indian or local lunch, and a shopping tour in the afternoon.
After the domestic flight to Cebu — not included in the package price — the Twin City tour covers a long list of named sites: the Lapu-Lapu Monument, Magellan's Shrine, Alegre Guitar Factory, Magellan's Cross, the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino, the Heritage of Cebu Monument, Yap-San Diego House and the Taoist Temple, plus a running tour past Colon Street, Fuente Osmena Circle and the Capitol site. It's a fuller heritage day than the half-day Cebu tour built into the Oslob itinerary.
