Nice island tour - We had a nice trip around the island with our knowledgeable guide Franco. The weather was not in our favor but the scenery was great from the water.

Visit to the sea caves of the Syracuse coast - I spent a few hours in complete harmony with the people (some foreign tourists) known for the occasion. We visited the sea caves of the Syracusan coast and listened very carefully to what the captain / helmsman explained to us about their origins. Then before returning many people including myself We had a nice swim in a crystal clear sea .Do a vote to my experience ..10.... I was really happy and thank you very much SWEET EXCURSIONS

Missed the real experience - We visited on March 13 2025. We booked a boat tour expecting to visit the caves, but unfortunately, they were closed, and we were informed that the sea was too rough to proceed to the sea side of the board ride . As a result, our supposed 1 hour 10-minute ride was cut short to barely 50 minutes, just circling around the island without much While the experience itself was underwhelming, the owner was kind enough to wait for us when our food order took longer than expected, which we appreciated. Overall, it wasn’t the trip we anticipated, but the service was courteous.
