Wonderful experience! Great guide good experienve for all the family : grand parents parents and childrens . Thanks !!
Efficient planning by the organisers. The boat trip guide was very welcoming and made everyone feel at ease. Good value for money for the time out at sea.
It was a very nice guide who told a lot and also a really nice tour of the sea caves! Definitely recommended to do if you are in Syracusa! 😊
Excellent service, very kind, and a beautiful boat tour.
Beautiful boat tour with a very skilled and friendly guide and skipper.
Nice tour with the possibility of swimming in a spot where the water is emerald green. The guide was helpful and gave us very useful suggestions for our stay in Syracuse.
The trip by boat to the sea caves was amazing. Our guide Nuncio was very funny and pleasant guy! We enjoyed on the board and had chance to jump and swim in Ionian sea waters
A fun and informative trip around the sea caves of Siracuse and Ortegia. Gabriel was a fantastic guide with much enthusiasm and local knowledge. He was helpful and keen to make this a good experience. We jumped off the boat to swim in the sea. You have to be able to get down low, kneeling on the boat floor for 2 mins while going under a low bridge. The meeting point is a street stall 5 mins from the harbour.
It was so wonderful, a one in a lifetime experience. Michele, our captain went above and beyond to make sure we had a full experience. Definitely recommend and definitely will book again when in Syracuse. Troppo bello!!!!
The one-hour boat tour between Ortigia and the sea caves was truly beautiful, but what made it special was the staff. A special thanks goes to Aurora: a very young but super capable girl, who during the tour explained all the main attractions very well with great preparation and friendliness; we really noticed how she loves doing what she does. A note of merit also for the flexibility of the whole team: due to the uncertain weather we asked to postpone the experience to the next day with very little notice, and they were super helpful in accommodating us and rescheduling everything without problems. Very well-deserved five stars! ✨✨🥰
