Super cool tour, we went to the spice plantation in a very nice car with a very nice and good driver.

We can recommend this tour to everyone because the price was great.

Really enjoyable day. Going early was great as we bet the crowds. The waterfall looks amazing and you can swim beside it too. The spice farm was excellent. We were shown numerous trees and told about their use and healing benefits. We were provided with a lovely local lunch there too. Our driver was also very nice
