Persze, ide egy természetes, nagyon pozitív angol 5 csillagos értékelés: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic experience! We had an amazing time on the 3-hour boat tour. The coastline and caves were breathtaking, the water was beautiful, and the whole trip was perfectly organized. The crew was extremely friendly, helpful and professional, and they made the experience even more enjoyable. It was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday in Puglia. We would absolutely recommend Leuca Explorer to anyone visiting Santa Maria di Leuca. Thank you for an unforgettable afternoon!
Everything spectacular. It is a mandatory trip if you are in Puglia. Unique experience. Mino and Ricardo are excellent guides, very willing to help!!
Fantastic experience: an unmissable tour in Santa Maria di Leuca! We spent a fantastic day on the boat with MINO, discovering the wonderful caves of Santa Maria di Leuca. The excursion was organized impeccably: pleasant sailing, breathtaking landscapes, and a truly special atmosphere. The absolute highlight was the ability to swim and enter directly into the caves: a unique thrill, immersed in a crystal-clear sea with incredible colors. To make everything even more pleasant, a very welcome aperitif on board with chilled prosecco and excellent snacks! A huge round of applause to the staff/captain, exceptional in their helpfulness, friendliness, and hospitality, capable of letting us experience everything in total safety and relaxation. Highly recommended to anyone who is in Salento and wants to experience the sea in an authentic and unforgettable way. We will definitely be back!
It wasn't very easy for us to find the place, but they were super helpful and gave us all the necessary directions; the guide was available, knowledgeable, and passionate, and taught us many interesting facts! Highly recommended
A huge thank you to Ricardo for the quality of his welcome, his impeccable service, and his captivating explanations during our visit to the caves. An unforgettable experience, thanks to his professionalism and passion.
Punctual, welcoming, and attentive to guests. The captain was helpful and friendly. We took the evening tour, which favors the temperatures and colors of the sunset at the expense of those of the sea. As scheduled, we made two stops for swimming in the Adriatic and Ionian seas near some caves. Overall, a nice, relaxing, and carefree tour. I would do it again at times when the sun 🌞 is higher. Thank you!!
Very nice experience with a super guide and Mino's company. Three hours is not enough; they flew by. It would have been nice to spend the whole day on the boat, beautiful.
It was truly a great experience that I recommend to everyone; I want to emphasize that it was all made possible thanks also to the experience, empathy, and politeness of the skipper on board. He conveyed confidence to everyone, even giving instructions to a colleague of his who had gotten his boat tangled. In short, truly superlative. Thanks again.
Beautiful experience, which I highly recommend! Mino is a kind, easygoing, and knowledgeable guide! Spectacular caves and a very appreciated aperitif.
It was really nice. The guide was super kind and helpful; he was able to describe all the points of interest, enriching them with curiosities related to his experience. He also provided masks, snorkels, and life jackets for everyone. The boat is very spacious. The tour ended with a good aperitif consisting of prosecco, tea, and crostini. Highly recommended!
