Tour not stop at the factory alone, but coupled with a short road to agro-tourism PT. Sidomuncul, where BEM FEB is allowed to see animal collections while enjoying the beauty of the surrounding park. The highlight of the visit then ended at their herbal cafe. Here, the closing of the event was accompanied by a glass of drink from PT. Sidomuncul which is provided for free for BEM FEB UNAIR. Of course, during the question and answer session, BEM FEB UNAIR members did not stop asking their curiosity about PT. Sidomuncul.
