"Travel with a tour agency to get a preview of Ilocos, to know the places you want to come back to"

What made me say "YES" to a travel agency (BBM Travel & Tours):

1. For only P2500 I was able to visit 4 places. Vigan - Laoag - Paoay - Pagudpud.

2. The package includes accommodation with aircon and free breakfast for 2 consecutive days.

3. Pick up is in MOA (SM Mall of Asia) or Trinoma (QC).

4. Management and Drivers are very friendly and are easy to talk to.

5. This travel agency cares about their guests that they switched our itinerary where there are less guests.

6. They won't miss the highlights of the trips.

Things to consider:

1. This is a long ride, make sure to use the bathroom every chance you get.

2. The van is 14 seaters. You will not have the option to put your feet up nor lay down. So find a comfortable spot. Try to stretch every-time you have the chance at the stops.

3. You are not alone, so please be respectful to other guests as well.

4. If you are riding at the back of the van, it has alot of humps and bumps. If you are seating at the middle of the van, you might get to sit on a customized seat which is not comfortable. It's best to request to sit behind the driver.

5. Don't be a snob if your travelling in smaller groups. This is the best time to meet new travel buddies. Where you can learn new things. (I was able to learn from one of the guests about MOBA settings LOL)

6. If there is a specific place you would like to visit or not, always discuss it with your other co-guest.

7. There are some attractions that you won't visit if you don't follow the schedule that they have planned. I assure you that they won't miss out the highlights of the trip.

8. The attractions that are included on the packages are time scheduled please keep this in mind that this is like a preview of what Ilocos can offer. So that next time you come back, you would know which places you would like to visit.

9. Bedroom offers 1 blanket for 1 bed. If you are the type who can't sleep without a blanket make sure to bring one. (I brought 2 blankets and a neck pillow)

10. There will be alot of people travelling, be patient in long lines and crowded places.

11. There are times in the itinerary where you will eat in a canteen where the food is already cooked and you have to choose. They are expensive.
