Three days among villages and castles in the Piacenza area - This weekend, including today, I visited the castles of Gropparello, Venegono and Rivalta. The guides are very nice and very good. We also walked around Castel d'Arquato, a very pretty village, it's a shame that the castle is closed for restoration. We stayed at the B&B "Caminata 415" in Fiorenzuola d'Arda. The lady who runs it was very kind, the room was beautiful, airy and comfortable, as were the services, everything was very clean. Excellent breakfast with everything and more.

THE BEST TOUR TO DISCOVER THE MEKONG DELTA - Excellent tour through one of the areas of the Mekong Delta with fewer tourists and more authentic. It has been a total immersion in the culture and way of life of the Delta. In addition, we have been lucky to have an excellent guide, Jonathan, with whom we have learned a lot about Vietnamese culture. On the other hand, Jonathan is an excellent photographer and thanks to him we have the best photos of our trip through Vietnam! Very well organized, original and different tour. Highly recommended!

Seeing the sunset in Bird Island was amazing. Our tour guide, Jonathan, has taken care of every detail and is a very nice and kind person. He has provided us with lot of information about Vietnamese culture and history and he is a great photographer that has taken the best pictures that we have had during our whole trip through Vietnam. We are absolutely satisfied with this tour and we recommend it to everyone who wants to visit the Mekong Delta.
