An experience I absolutely recommend: the staff is knowledgeable, professional, and very kind; Sebi told us many interesting facts about Ortigia and was helpful and attentive to our needs. We had a great time and waited for a splendid sunset. Definitely to be repeated!
Had the best time. Very knowledgeable and experienced guide. We had a nice long time to swim in the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Highly recommend. 😁
Highly recommended. Franco was very attentive, the swim in crystal-clear waters was incredible, and the explanations about the island, its buildings, and its history were very well told.
Very interesting excursions enriched by the expertise and friendliness of the skipper SEBY
Well organised, clear meeting spot. Our guide Laura was knowledgeable as she guided us through the key sights of Ortigia and Siracuse by boat. Laura gave us swimming options and did not rush us to return to the boat. It was a very relaxing and enjoyable activity.
Very enjoyable boat trip with option to swim near the caves. Informed of the history of the island by a knowledgable guide & boat skipper.
This was a fabulous trip, Franco was an excellent guide, the whole company went above and beyond to guarantee a perfect time. I highly guarantee!!!
This is a way to spend a couple of hours seeing Syracuse from the water. We enjoyed the swim spots as well.
It was truly a beautiful experience, exceptional places. The skipper Seby is truly very skilled, kind, and polite. A tour that I truly recommend.
Excellent trip. Great captain and very well organised. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trip around the caves and swim.
