Private Cebu tour specialists since 2014

Our story

Why we only do private tours

When we started in 2014, most Cebu tours put strangers together in a bus, ran on a fixed clock, and rushed everyone through the highlights. A family with young children had to keep pace with a group of twenty-somethings. A couple wanting to linger at Kawasan Falls got moved on when the guide called time.

We decided early on that we wouldn't do that. Every booking at Cebu OK Travel is a private tour — your group only, your vehicle, your guide, your pace. We've kept that rule for over a decade because we've seen what it means to travelers: photos they actually got to take, experiences they actually had, and memories they still talk about.

What started as a small Cebu City operation has grown into a full-service tour company serving guests from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Germany, the United States, the UK, Spain, France, the Middle East, and across Southeast Asia. The private-only rule never changed.

Our approach to booking

We check availability before we ask for payment. Every inquiry gets a real human response — not a booking form that auto-confirms without checking. Once we confirm the date and send a written quote, you can reserve with PHP 500. The rest is paid on the day of the tour.

We think that's how it should work. You shouldn't have to pay before you know a tour is actually available.

Who we serve

Built for international travelers

Cebu is one of the Philippines' most-visited destinations, but most online information about tours is in English only — which creates real friction for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese-speaking travelers planning a trip. We built our service around multilingual communication from the beginning.

We handle inquiries and tour coordination in:

• Japanese (日本語) — LINE and email coordination, Japanese-language itineraries
• Korean (한국어) — KakaoTalk and WhatsApp, Korean-speaking liaison
• Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) — Taiwan and Hong Kong travelers
• Simplified Chinese (简体中文) — WeChat and Xiaohongshu inquiries
• English — all English-speaking markets
• Spanish, German, French — European travelers
• Arabic — Middle East guests

We don't use machine translation for bookings. When you write to us in Japanese, a Japanese-literate team member responds. Same for Korean and Chinese. That matters when you're coordinating pickup times, safety questions, and dietary requirements before a 14-hour adventure day.

Trust & transparency

What we promise every guest

• No payment before availability is confirmed. Every inquiry gets a real availability check first. We send a written confirmation before we request any money.
• Written quotes before you commit. Your quote includes pickup time, inclusions, exclusions, and total price — in writing. No surprises on tour day.
• Private means private. Your vehicle, your guide, your group. We have never put strangers together in a shared tour and we never will.
• Weather-safe cancellation. If conditions are unsafe, we reschedule or refund — fully. We check weather 24 hours before every tour.
• Honest about fitness & safety. If a tour isn't right for your group, we say so. We'd rather give you honest advice than take a booking that leads to a bad experience.

Guest reviews

4.9 stars across 200+ reviews

Our reviews are collected across Google, Facebook, TripAdvisor, Naver, Kakao, WeChat, and Xiaohongshu — from guests in every market we serve. We don't filter reviews or request edits. What travelers write is what you read.

The most common themes: "the guide was excellent," "finally a tour that moved at our pace," "I didn't realize private could be this affordable," and "we'll use them again on our next trip."

お支払い方法

We accept GCash, Maya, PayPal, Wise (TransferWise), Alipay, bank transfer (BDO, BPI, UnionBank), cash (PHP), and Western Union. The PHP 500 reservation fee can be paid any of these ways. Remaining balance is paid on tour day unless otherwise agreed in writing.
