Design Your Own Tour of Baguio City
Baguio City is really easy to explore on your own, especially if you are bringing your own vehicle.
So I have created
modular tours based on the proximity of the visitor attractions to each other so you can save time and fuel while touring.
How different are these tour modules from the ones at Baguio Tour
Itineraries? Well, thoseare my itinerary suggestions based on the length of your visit. These, on the other hand, are based on the locations of the tourist spots.
The groupings come in handy especially if the purpose of your visit is for business, or a convention, or just shopping, so you can save time and fuel by not crisscrossing the Summer Capital of the Philippines and choosing just those tourist spots that are most interesting to you.
