The guide is English and not Spanish. The scenery is stunning. In addition to the visit to the rice paddies, the real way of life of the inhabitants of that area is known. To put a downside, the place selected for the meal was not good.

Amazing tour with Leo, our guide and photographer! We saw the best spots with less tourists in a very calm way, with time to take pictures and stop at the best places. Leo gave us a lot of details of the region and the rice terraces. Thank you very much for this amazing experience!
