The good thing about booking a group tour is that they fix all the itineraries, accommodations and transportation with skilled driver. With Travel Ventours we paid for P3,200 each for 3 days 2 nights inclusive of accommodation, tour guide, entrance fees & transportation with drivers fee, toll fee & gas.
Transportation | Grandia Van
We are 12 inside a Grandia van and since it is a group tour we are accompanied by other travelers that came straight from Cebu.

Though there are a lot of things that need improvement with the operations but they were able to compensate by having an awesome guide, Joey was accommodating & very helpful so we nevertheless had a wonderful time.

Hi! Ask ko lang sana if how much yung nagastos niyo sa buong trip? Hehe. Thanks! :D
ReplyDeleteThe tour costs 3,500 per person that includes transportation, tour, accommodation. Ready ka nalang siguro ng mga additional 2000-3000 for your food, souvenirs & pasalubongs :) depends on your budget & lifestyle
