How to get to CEBU, PHILIPPINES
Cebu has an international airport with regular direct flights
from Seoul, Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila, and Tokyo.
Either arrange with the hotel your transport options from the
airport prior to your arrival in Cebu, OR you can find the
official yellow airport taxis on your exit from baggage claim.
The yellow taxis are the ‘official taxis’ and cost a little more
than the others. To travel by taxi to Ford’s Inn/Montebello,
the cost should be no more than 250Php, and for Marco Po-
lo, no more than 400Php. The airport is approximately
(depending on traffic) 30-45 minutes from Ford’s Inn/
Montebello.

on Saturday morning before 7:45am for an 8:00 am start,
probably 30 minutes.
a. White coloured public taxis are readily available to
bring you to and from CIS. Just remember to assert
yourself and ask for the meter (flag down rate for white
coloured public taxis are Php 40.00, then meter adds
Php 3.50 per kilometer. The total fare would range from
Php 100 - 150 from Fords Inn/Montebello)
b. If you are the adventurous type, try a jeepney (ride the
