We did it all ourselves but there are lots of locals around the town offering to take you to the different spots so if you want one there will be no shortage finding them! Hope you have an amazing time :-) Try the pizza at Simon's Inn (99% sure that is the right name). Hi Jo

Why legal? because they have Franchise from the Land and Transportation Regulatory Board, a very important document that both Autobus and Florida are lacking..In short Autobus and Florida are both out of line buses...Autobus are now mini-buses..and i don't think it will give much comfort to foreigners with big legs or body since the seats are so tight. Ohayami and Florida are both big and aircon buses but they differ in fare rate..Ohayami is cheaper..but service is the same..what more..it is an Ifugao-owned bus so..you can start the feel of being in Ifugao by actually riding the bus since most employees are Ifugaos.

That sucks man - we had almost exactly the same thing happen but luckily one such local DID know where it is and gave us a ride in his trike to it! Thanks for sharing your experience as well, this is really helpful. Andrew Ohh noo!
