Two architectural wonders lie in the middle of Parma countryside, a few kilometers distant from each other.

The latter is the largest labyrinth in the world, dreamed and constructed by Franco Maria Ricci, a publisher and philanthropist whose astonishing art collection is kept in a gallery, at ht heart of the labyrinth itself.

- Z1581MUkarenp0 contributionsnice ambianceThe ambiance is so nice. Waiter Paolo is sooo friendly. The salad is great (chicken ceasar salad). The music is sooo relaxing.Written June 22, 2024
- Z613XFjulieh0 contributionsWonderful experience!Despite having visited Milan a couple times before, I knew nothing about the canals in Milan. We easily navigated via the subway to visit one afternoon. It was delightful! the atmosphere reminded me of Burano. There were lots of artists exhibiting opposite outdoor cafes. We enjoyed the food and ambience as well as the shopping.Written October 6, 2023
- Hani H0 contributionsI love the foodThe food is really excellent, specifically in Azure restaurant, I appreciated the service sceptical thanks to Chief Mr. sujth very professionalWritten September 8, 2023
- lindsaya8320 contributionsOnce in a lifetime experience!This was an absolutely unimaginably wonderful experience. Our skipper Domenico was knowledgeable about so many things and provided such informative commentary along the way, including stories about growing up in Vernazza and what it’s like to live in Cinque Terre, what wines to buy from the area, the best places to eat — it was so nice to have that inside track. On top of everything, we had beautifully calm waters for the sunset trip, and my husband and I truly felt like we were able to celebrate our anniversary in style. Thank you so much! I wish I could give more stars. Highly recommended!Written July 17, 2023

- rodneydI3798KY0 contributionsThe Awesome view from my hotel roomEarl's Regency Hotel Kandy is a beautiful hotel to relax, with a stunning view. I enjoyed my stay every minute, with the view in the morning , afternoon and night. The cool breeze, the hills around you and the greenery environment. The staff was very good and very helpful. Reception staff, bell boys and room service . I have no complains and definitely would check in on my next visit to Kandy. Very easy to go to the town, reasonable cab charge. Staff has always been very helpful. I highly recommend and traveler's going to Kandy, must at least spend one night in this hotel , you will love it and agree with me. Good Luck .

- Eric_paca0 contributionsExtremely frustratedDon't be fooled by their beautiful promises...especially about the Como Lake flight. They don't give you any details about the circuit before departure... the pilot turns around after 7 minutes … (total flight time : 14min, and only 10 over the lake), they promise to fly over Bellagio but they stop before you get there... In short, 215€ for this service .. it’s very expensive, and the boss doesn't care. It's a shameWritten October 23, 2022
- Susan C0 contributionsOne of the highlights of our time in FlorenceThis trip was an extraordinary experience and one of the highlights of our time in Florence. What a privilege to be on the Arno river, floating beneath the Ponte Vecchio, seeing Florence from a whole different perspective. And for us, the private aspect was the icing on the cake. Our boatman and guide (Massimo) was great, giving us lots of history about Florence, the bridges, the buildings, etc.Written October 3, 2022
- ionu_v7660 contributionsAmazing experienceThis trip was an amazing experience and our guide ( Domenico) ensured that we’re having the true cinque terre experience. I strongly recommend this as a must do during your visit in these 5 fairytale villages. Wine, focaccia and sunset on the boad, i loved it!Written July 31, 2021
- A4566MMclaireb0 contributionsGreat comprehensive tourThis was a lovely tour, very relaxed but included all the best things about Sirmione which we could easily have visited ourselves but we would have missed so many details and facts. The little boat trip was, for the kids at least, the best bit. Our guide, Sara, was great, extremely knowledgeable as well as friendly and professional.Written July 15, 2021

Il 2 gennaio ho partecipato con mia figlia alla visita guidata, un'esperienza molto piacevole. Ben organizzati. Durata 75 minuti circa. La giovane guida molto preparata, accogliente e disponibile. Un'esperienza che raccomandiamo anche per il grazioso Borgo.

a spectacular place, very well kept if you take the internal guided tour (mandatory). Congratulations to the guide, complete and exhaustive.
Only the visit and the very explanatory story of Parmigianino's room is worth the price of the ticket, on the other hand there is no price for beauty.

Borgo molto caratteristico ed interessante. Piacevole ed esauriente la visita guidata alla Rocca. Per questioni di tempo nn siamo riusciti a visitare anche il labirinto che sicuramente visiteremo prossimamente.

Bellissimo Castello circondato dal fossato nel centro di Fontanellato.
Ben tenuto e conservato visitabile parzialmente perchè una parte è adibita ad uffici Comunali.
Lo abbiamo visitato sabato 12 giugno 2021, la ragazza che ci ha fatto da guida è stata molto carina e ci ha spiegato dettagliatamente le stanze visitate.
Da non perdere la visita alla camera ottica che permette, attraverso giochi di specchi, la visione sulla piazza esterna al Castello.
