The four of us had a great trip with Alessio. There were only four of us, which was very pleasant. Alessio was full of energy and passionate about his homeland. He gave us a very detailed insight into the work in the salt fields. At the end we had a wine tasting, which also featured some great products. One small drawback, we would have liked to have had a snack or two there. We were on the road for four hours. And the description mentioned tasting local products. But all in all a great trip. Thank you Alessio!

Very interesting. Our guide spoke English but everything was understandable. Alessio took us into the world of salt and salt marshes with great enthusiasm. The boat tour is interesting and the explanations in French are welcome. It is easy to find a place at the meeting point. Great discovery
