Awesome last minute tour learning the history and seeing the coastline of beautiful Gaeta. So glad we were able to join

Our guide was especially considerate of our limited mobility. He made us feel safe and welcome, helping us navigate the ramp to board the boat and disembark. We had a small group so got lots of personal attention. Everything was explained clearly in English and in Italian. We were very pleased with the experience.

Wonderful short boat ride - this complements an afternoon of hiking and walking around the peninsula by letting you see things from the other side! If doing it again I would have taken the boat tour on the first day and hiked the second but it was a beautiful day and we had a lovely time anyway!

la vista era spettacolare ma mai quanto il fondale, davvero unico, siamo scesi a -22 m di profondità con la nostra attrezzatura da Subacquei ed è stata un immersione fantastica tranne per qualche problema sott'acqua non causato dai lavoratori

Splendido giro in barca (comoda ) alla scoperta di Gaeta da un punto di vista privilegiato. Con Simone che ci ha raccontato la storia millenaria di Gaeta, mentre ci portava a vedere angoli suggestivi della costa, circondati da miti e leggende. Lo consiglio a tutti

Ambra202

Organizzazione perfetta, assistenza, confort e cortesia. Il giro è stato interessante, arricchito dalle notizie che sono state esaustive e molto gradite. Esperienza da fare e rifare.

Personale molto disponibile, esperienza rilassante e molto bella! Simone è stato gentile, affabile e preparato. La vista di Gaeta dal mare merita, ho scattato delle bellissime foto! Consigliatissimo!

Mio figlio e mia nuora ci hanno regalato la gita di un’ora intorno a Gaeta ma soffrendo il mare non credevo di riuscire a godermi quel meraviglioso paesaggio. Non è stato così! Lo staff è gentile premuroso e riesce a metterti subito a tuo agio, il capitano ci raccontava storie sulle varie attrattive e avevano ragione nel rassicurarmi, non ho sentito alcun fastidio! ci hanno fatto vivere un’esperienza da voler assolutamente ripetere! Grazie, grazie grazie torneremo sicuramente da voi!

bellissimo davvero, il paesaggio è incantevole, molti cenni storici e naturalistici, tutti gli operatori sono preparati e gentili, ma Gaeta di per sé regala sempre emozioni. Acqua gratis nella barca che con queste temperature è gradevole davvero.
