“The walk was very good. The bad thing is that you didn't pick me up at the hotel nor did you leave me at the hotel on the way back... which is what you had indicated. I think it's not a walk for everyone and the schedule should be respected.”

“The trip was amazing! There was no problem with pickup from our hotel, just texted the host via WhatsApp. On the trip itself we saw all that was promised and more. Not only a rice plantation but a huge variety of plants, trees and animals that are unimaginable where we come from. Our guide Ryan was chatty, informative and super friendly. The lunch that was included with the trip was delicious from the starter to the desserts. If you can handle 3 hours of walking through hills and jungle it is definitely worth it. We will remember this trip for a very long time!”
