Excursions to do in Syracuse - Boat excursion with skipper Corrado of the island of Ortigia, of the sea caves with multiple bath stops. Experience recommended for everyone, especially in summer with the possibility of making more bathroom stops. I highly recommend the two-hour tour, enlivened by the entertainment of skipper Corrado, who updated us on the history of Syracuse, on the most hidden curiosities and legends both in Italian and English. There was no shortage of prosecco, drinks of all kinds and fresh seasonal fruit. For children amusements guaranteed.

Boat trip Ortigia island - Very nice boat trip! From the boat you can see the city even better and also the island. In between we got to hear about the history of the island and the coast. It was windy, but Salvo handled it well. Salvo was a friendly captain and spoke good English. The caves were also beautiful to view. We also had a nice swim and then we got some fruit on board and a bottle of Prosecco☀️ 🥂

Perfect Way to Start the Day! - We so enjoyed our boat cruise with Salvo around Ortigia! It gave us a whole new perspective on the island. We booked first thing in the morning and loved how peaceful the harbor and the caves were at that time. It was absolutely one of the highlights of our visit to Ortigia! Highly recommend!!

Esperienza da non perdere! - Great hike to do absolutely. We were lucky because the organizer despite our delay protected us on the next tour and with great surprise we were alone with the Skipper Salvo which was really super. He illustrated and told us about the peculiarities of the area. He was very nice and professional and helpful. We took advantage of his kindness because he was everything to us and he did not back down indeed, thanks to my fear of bathing where my son and husband had a lot of fun, he gave me the opportunity to do it in calmer waters. He offered us fresh fruit and prosecco and literally flew two hours. All very professional, we recommend it and ask for Salvo 😉

Does not match what is indicated - The place is hard to find. We enjoyed the ride but are disappointed as it absolutely did not match what was advertised. The walk lasted only 45 min when it was indicated 1 hour. We were not able to swim and we did not have the aperitif announced. The guide was commercial, but it ends there.
