I ran into difficulties meeting my booking and I was very kindly accommodated with a different time. Excellent customer service. The boat trip itself was stunning, both the sea caves and trip around the island.

Franco was amazing at explaining all of the scenic historical marks. He was patient with us and explained everything throughly. We felt extremely safe with his boat driving skills and it was a very calm, relaxing experience. For the price this was definitely a steal. The caves were unreal, something from a movie. Franco was extremely accommodating. 11/10 experience. A must in Siracusa. He was very funny as well. We loved it

It was a really nice experience. The water is crystal clear - good for snorkelling. But we were there in December, so skipped getting into the water. sunset was beautiful from the sea.
