We have arranged our accommodation with Hotel in Laoag City and they said that they can offer 2500/day car rental with a driver for our Pagudpud tour (excluding gas expense)and 1500/day for Laoag City tour.

I find the offer very expensive.

I was thinking if we can just ride a jeep/bus to Pagudpud, have a day tour at a resort then hire a trike to take us around Pagudpud up to Bangui. Then travel again by Jeep/Bus to Burgos Town and trike our way up to the Bojeador lighthouse. Then go back to Hotel by bus en route to Laoag City.

For Paoay/Batac/Vigan Tour, take the Jeep/Bus and jump from each town and go back to Hotel at the end of the day.

My question here Calvin, is it more expensive to accept the tour arrangement of our hotel for 4000/day excluding gas (Pagudpud&Laoag) or let ourselves enjoy the adventure of jumping each town by Jeep/Bus??

I am pressured right now because this is supposed to be a surprise for my loved one and I am not planning to reveal the surprise until the day we’re going to leave. This will be a 3rd anniversary gift.

I am hoping that you can help us with this and it will be highly appreciated.

Hi Calvin! Thank you for a wonderful blog. Quite a few of my guests read it before they decided to visit Ilocos and ended up staying at Balay da Blas. They even printed it and practically followed your itinerary to the letter. On behalf of the whole Ilocos, I’d like to say thanks again. /sammy

your blog confirmed that i’ve made the right decision to choose Ilocos. my iterinary is only for Vigan because i dont know anything about the North; but you’ve opened my eyes to more places we can visit. Thanks and more power to you.
