refreshing, pleasant and informative boat trip on a very hot day

Thanks to Captain Enzo, this was the highlight of our trip to Syracuse. His boat was exceptionally clean and spacious, and well equipped to protect us from the searing sun. The ride was smooth and required considerable skipper skill. But most of all, we enjoyed learning about the local history from Captain Enzo, who gave us a warm welcome and left us with lasting memories. Would recommend unreservedly.

Beautiful hike, highly recommended

Corrado boat tour is a serious partner and Captain Raul despite the rather rough seas entered the caves without difficulty. During the tour Raul told in French and Italian what we were seeing, the final touch of the prosecco was much appreciated. I highly recommend

A Wonderful boat tour of Ortigia island and bubbly!

A Wonderful tour, seeing all the key sites of Ortigia island. Knowledgeable, friendly, and energetic staff who helped us get to the meeting spot and provided extra details via WhatsApp— we did have to push our tour date due to weather. So glad we did, the tour was lovely, sunny, and Paired with a perfect glass of bubbles!

Nice overview boat trip worth the time.

As described. Nice well maintained boat - great captain took us into a few caves. Pointed out sights used prerecorded information in a few languages. Provided Prosecco. Good way to spend an hour!
