5.00I enjoyed my Sideman walking tour very much through the Sideman rice fields and village. For those considering this experience, note that much of the walk through the rice fields is on an elevated and sometimes narrow path that at times is eroded on the sides. The trek was easy and flat, but If balance is difficult for you then you may want to reconsider this option.
Great experience

5.00Walking thru the rice paddies with Adidas is a cool experience. He explains a lot, talks with experience and his heart. He’s also funny and makes jokes. It was a real pleasure to do this almost 4 km walk and 2h with him.
