When I made the decision to travel alone, my two options were either to commute alone or avail the joiners’ tour of some travel & tour agencies. but when I was browsing my facebook timeline, I saw Astrokidd Travel and Tour Agency’s advertisement about their Ilocos Tour for just Php2,950.00.

Another thing I’ve noticed was that all of their drivers were professionals and really knows every destinations very well like drivers from Carmel By The Sea hotels.
