Jim Sibbick first visited the Philippines in September 1994 and immediately fell in love with the culture and the people. He lives in Cebu City for part of the year and Australia for part of the year. While traveling to various areas of the Philippines, he shoots videos to bring a bit of the Philippines to those who have never visited or seen this wonderful country. He has more than 100 short videos of the Philippines currently hosted on two websites and available for you to download for free. Follow this site as he discusses his thoughts on the Philippines, new videos available for download and how some of the videos came into being.
Reliable taxi driver in Cebu City
I was previously a partner in a tourism business in Cebu City. Our driver for the tours was Danny Noy. Danny is a taxi driver in Cebu City and has many years experience.
Danny Noy - Ph. 09193753071
His taxi is clean and well maintained and Danny has proved to be very reliable.
He will happily use the meter for normal taxi operations but for special jobs (eg house hunting or a tour of the city), his standard rate is P250 per hour around Cebu City or make a deal for the whole day.
Danny’s taxi
Danny can also arrange other transport such as a bus, mini bus, jeepney, van or multicab.
To contact Danny from within the Philippines, phone 09193753071
From outside the Philippines, +639193753071
This is Danny’s email.
