Sagada || Suggested Itinerary || How to Go There
February 17, 2016
In this post I will be sharing our itinerary during our 3 days stay in Sagada. Please take note that this was arranged by the travel agency, you can customize your own itinerary or make this a guide in making your own itinerary and as to what are the places that you should visit. If you are a first-timer, you may also follow this itinerary.
If you wish to book a tour with the travel agency i highly recommend A Whole New World Travel Express because of their easy and reliable payment terms. Their service is very good and their guides are friendly and accommodating. You can even request to visit other sites that are not listed in the itinerary which we did. We requested to visit Gaia Cafe which was featured in the movie That Thing Called Tadhana and our request was granted! :D
