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.

5.00Great experience. Few tourists for now while we made this little trek in August. The guide put us at ease, gave us information about plants and crops. The landscapes are magnificent. Well anticipate transport and traffic jams depending on your departure city, we were late due to traffic but another guide waited for us to make the trek, without extra cost. To do!!
A different perspective to Sideman

5.00The trek offers a completely different perspective to Sideman. You can learn so much about the town, its people, how rice is grown and how it is an essential part of everyday life. In the meantime, you will get unique views of the rice fields and the overreaching Mount Agung that you couldn't see otherwise. Our guide Adi was so funny and relaxed.
