Pinatubo tour from Tripinas |
I am a budget traveller. There are some comforts that I am willing to forgo just to be able to visit and experience a place. But there are some things that are non-negotiable, paramount of which is safety. Travelling in a group help you save a lot because there a lot of you to split the cost. But when you travel in pairs, or as a couple, it is sometimes a lot more cheaper to avail of package tours.
When we first travelled as family to Bohol in 2010, we opted for a package tour as well. I was not as experienced then, as I am now. But for the rest of our family travels, we do it on our own.
For our Mt. Pinatubo Tour in March 2012, we opted to avail of a package tour from Tripinas at P2,050/pax for a group of 13. And we have the certificate to prove it!

On the other hand, the cheapest DIY tour that I ever did was on our trip to Coron. We were a group of 13 and we only spent around P3,500 per pax, including pasalubongs, for a 3D/2N trip.

So I guess the short answer to the question is that it really depends on a lot of things. But whether you travel on package tours or you DIY- always remember, travel is an adventure. Embrace it!
