very nice day tour

the driver was very nice and spoke english well. Arrived at the rice terraces, a "hike" of approx. 30-40 minutes would be planned (unfortunately, this is nowhere to be found). if you cannot cope with this, you can tell the driver and you can drive up in a car for a small fee. we were still eating in a small local restaurant and on the way home in a tea plantation, which is also highly recommended.

An amazing experience and a must-see

On our tour through the ricefields we saw two different segments of the fields, both as beautiful as one expects. Despite the rainy day, Andy, our guide, managed to keep the tour entertaining. We had enough time to see the area and let it’s beauty sink in. I definitely keep this tour recommended. Besides the lovely area, Andy arranged several things for us and adapted the schedule to our preferences, whithout trouble.
