Great value and a great experience. Laura took great care of us and was a wonderful guide. We felt really welcome from when we set foot on the boat and we had great chats for the whole trip. She prepared an amazing meal for us - genuinely one of the nicest lunches we had in Syracuse. We had a great chance to relax and soak up the atmosphere.

We had the best time on this tour. Got to go for a few swims off the boat and there was some down time also. Laura made an amazing lunch. All in all a great tour and a nice break from all the walking!

My colleagues and I took this boat tour to relax after work commitments that kept us in Syracuse. It far exceeded our expectations, we came out regenerated and with new brilliant ideas. For this we are grateful to all the staff, which was characterized by kindness, warmth, detailed explanation and excellent cuisine (congratulations to the cook who was not on board) for letting us live this wonderful experience . We recommend it!!!

We met at the designated spot and we followed the representative to the boat. .There was a total of 5 people on the tour.The boat captain and his assistant were very nice and informative. They both made sure that everyone had all of their needs met and that we were having a great time. we made three stops to swim and snorkel. we brought our own snorkeling equipment. The views were amazing. We really enjoyed the swimming/snorkel time. The lunch was a huge feast!!! Come hungry!! We had a fabulous time!!.

This tour exceeded expectations. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Excited to chat and answer questions. The format of the tour was ideal as the group was given time to hang out at different spots and not rushed. Very relaxing day. The food and drinks were phenomenal as well. I'd recommend to anyone interested in a group tour.

We really enjoyed our boat trip… from the minute we booked Stefano kept in contact and met us a short walk from our Cruise Ship. The boat was nice and clean and Roberto the Captain showed us around and explained all the drinks were free, soft drinks, water, beer and a selection of wines. We had a good 4hrs going from caves, swimming spots, around the harbour, you will not be disappointed at all. Lunch was salad, meats, cheese and seafood and then also a large dish of fresh pasta came also, my tip would be do not each too much breakfast as the portions are very generous. We would definitely do this tour again and Siracusa is also a hidden gem and we will be beach to explore it in more detail on another trip
