Customer Reviews
The guide Shazili was absolute brillant! We were curious to learn something about spices so we booked a tour. And we never do tours because we don’t like that. But THIS was absolutely worth it. The time flew by and it was so good. We learned a lot, were allowed to try and taste things and got a gift afterwards. You can also see some monkeys as a nice side effect.
I would not call this a farm but rather a botanical garden of spices. We visited in december and most of the plants were out of season, which was unfortunate. On the positive side, our guide was good, we had a chance to see and smell the fresh leaves of many well known spice plants and we had fun. We got a hand-made present for goodbye. All-in-all, a pleasant experience.
The tour was a fantastic experience! Our guide Shazilie was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, sharing detailed insights about medicinal plants, botanical species, trees, fruits, and of course, spices. Throughout the tour, he crafted small gifts from palm leaves, which added a personal and creative touch. We had the chance to see, smell, and taste a wide variety of spices – truly engaging for all senses. The tour lasted about an hour, but the guide was happy to stay longer and answer all our questions. You could really tell he enjoys what he does, and that made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
