We visited Banda Neira and had a really good Tour Guide in Ayu. She took us on a good tour in Banda Besar where we saw nutmeg, mace and cinnamon grown and how they grow and the farmer gave us an invite into preparation. She made our visit to Banda Neira exceptional!

I would like to say thank you for Ayu as our tour Guide in Banda . The Spice tour which organized by her for us was amazing! I plan to visit Banda next year also. Hope we will meet again for guiding Banda Besar & nutmeg plantation.

Thank you Ayu! This is really Sustainable Tourism, We are here directly inside plantation and we can support the local farmers by buying their spices products. The price of their products are so fair!
