The trip was amazing. Fantastic skipper and guide Franco. Great scenes and experiences. Manager of the tour company Steno was most helpful, a real professional. However, not sure how Viatour gets involved but it is the scond time on this trip that Viatour has directed us to the wrong meeting point, quite some distance away from the correct one. If I can avoid Viatour in any future tour booking I will try to do so.

I booked the excursion for my parents and was not actually there. They had a great time and Stefano was reactive and friendly !

Worst of the worst. We were the only ones on the tour. Maybe that is why they didn’t make too much of an effort. First thing: There was no typical “home made” lunch , I think we all know what the word “ lunch” means. There was a plate of previously “bought” starters (cheese, sausage, something that seemed like algae and pieces of tomatoes and potatoes that were almost melting in the sun and swiming in oil). So no very inviting food. We realised we will have to have a “lunch” after the activity because this can barely be called so. If you look for this kind of trips here in trip advisor you can see the difference of price when they offer an “appetitive” than When they offer “ lunch”, so we feel a little scammed about this, since we paid one price and we received less. Second thing: They offered to swim in the middle Of the trip in open sea…not a nice spot or anything. Just like any spot on the sea Third thing: The trip ended in 1 hour. So basically 70€ for 1 hour around the island with no food, only water ( because since we are allergic to wine and that was the only thing they offered.. no coke or something else)…that is what you get

This was a great choice during a hot day. Fantastic boat trip, caves, lunch, drinks and great swim in the sea. Boat had a roof against sun 👏🏻 Skippers were great. We enjoyed it and recommend!

Circumnavigare la splendida Ortigia è un'esperienza unica. Tagliere di tipicità siciliane, bollicine e bevande ottime. Un saluto e un ringraziamento speciale a Corrado. Skipper di grande esperienza, attento alle nostre esigenze, simpaticissimo. Da rifare!
