“Een hele leuke tour gehad. Erg uitgebreid en op plaatsen geweest waar je als tourist normaal gesproken niet komt. Het bezoek aan de Spice Farm was erg interessant en leuk. Het is wel een tocht met flink klimmen en dalen en je moet door het chaotische verkeer durven fietsen, maar je hebt ook mooie rustige prachtige stukken natuur waar je doorheen fietst. Wij vonden dat juist ook erg leuk omdat dat de tocht uitdagender maakt dan een gewoon fietstochtje. Zeker een aanrader!!!”
