We were a family of 8 adults and two small children. We were a bit anxious because of the age of our children, 3 and 5. Care needs to be taken because the boat is moving steadily and the children need to be in life vests. The natural beauty of this setting is amazing. The caves were very interesting and Francesco was a charming host. Swimming in the Adriatic was a highlight and the colorful fish were just an added delight. The very negative part of this was the location address. What needs to be understood is that the location is not where you need to park. We had a large van which makes parking very difficult. Parking is a good ten minute walk, so figure that into your itinerary.
The boat tour was okay, but I have had much better and pleasant boat tours. The sea that day was also very choppy which didn't allow us to enjoy the tour as much as we wanted to. The young driver was kind and tried his best to make everyone feel comfortable. Maybe if the wind was different and calmer sea, it would have been a nice experience.
We loved this boat tour from Monopoli! It was the perfect way to start our Italian vacation. Francesco was a very knowledgeable guide and made the experience so fun. Highly recommend!
There were 9 of us on the boat and, contrary to what one might think, we never felt on top of each other. Very beautiful viewpoints, truly impeccable explanations in English, and even music as a bonus, with a rather funny selection! Francesco is really very nice, full of energy, and knows how to create a good atmosphere. The Prosecco and focaccia break was very enjoyable, and the swimming was simply perfect. We took the 1 p.m. trip because we didn't really have any other choice, and despite the heat, everything went very well. Thank you for these beautiful moments and this very beautiful discovery! We recommend without hesitation. A fantastic boat trip with great views and a wonderful atmosphere! There were 9 of us on the boat, and surprisingly, we never felt crowded or on top of each other. We enjoyed some beautiful views, excellent explanations in English, and even some music along the way, with a really fun and amusing selection! Francesco was absolutely lovely, full of energy and great fun. The Prosecco and focaccia break was a lovely touch, and the swimming stop was perfect. We chose the 1 pm trip as we didn’t really have much choice left, and despite the heat, everything went really well. Thank you for these wonderful moments and for such a great experience! We would definitely recommend it.
Lovely tour of coast with stops in the caves. Time for a refreshing swim in the ocean and Prosecco and snacks served. Our tour guide ( Francesco I think was his name) was informative, engaging, and helpful. Highly recommend this tour while visiting Monopoli.
We coordinated the day before, it was quite easy to get to the departure point, we arrived a little early and called to be sure it was there, they answered us instantly, everything very punctual. Francesco's service was a 10!! He is a charming guy, with very precise time management. A truly unforgettable ride, not only because of the landscape, the music, the perfect time!! I recommend the 6:00 PM one.
There was no tour do to rough water from high winds. We didn’t receive any messages from the activity provider that the tour was canceled. It was only when I called that she said the tour was cancelled and had no availability for the rest of the week. Waiting for refund confirmation.
Nice trip with Francisco as a super guide. Stop by beautiful caves and a nice bathing trip 👍👍👍👍👍
Great tour. Got a bit wet on the drive there but overall Enjoyed it a lot and guide was very accommodating. Tour was a good amount of time as well
Great tour, worth the money. Guide was excellent. Boat was small enough to go inside the caves. Good for children too
