Hahaha!!!!! reserved na ang booking ko diyan. surprisingly, i got the cheapest room. the receptionist told me that it was the only one available. So, going around Davao City near the City Hall area on an early Sunday and Monday morning, where do you suggest? are the nearby parks any good? Quote Link to comment
VirginBen Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Best hotels are stupidly high priced cheaper to fly to Thailand if you want good deals. Quote Link to comment

Okay yung room affordable Got back from Davao. Area where i stayed is okay. Old downtown. Stuck in that lovely hotel the entire time. No complaints at all. Bahay ni Tuding's a two thumbs up place. Will try to find a way to return and have just one day to do sightseeing. :-) Quote Link to comment

neville Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes, would like to join. Any idea how much they charge and what time? Here's some data that I found out about the food tour: Me;s Food Tour FB Page Mel's Food Tour Website DESCRIPTIONJOINERS WELCOME!!! This is a 6-stop, 5 1/2 hour tour covering breakfast, lunch and coffee in different neighborhoods that are centrally located. The 1st stop is the market to get some freshly cut pineapples from Davao's Pineapple Samurai. Be amazed at the art of slicing pineapples in less than 30 seconds from complete fruit to chunks! This is followed by Kinutil breakfast, a chocolate drink laced with tuba (coconut toddy). After breakfast, there will be time to drift along the flower stalls to inspect, haggle and buy some local flowers. After all, Davao has a cutflower industry exporting orchids and other ornamentals which is highlighted annually by the Kadayawan Festival. The tour aims to bring greater depth to the experience of the tourist who wants to know more about Davao than just its usual attractions and sights. This is about savoring and licking the goodness that Davao produces.
