Relaxing tour - A really beautiful experience! The boat tour around Ortigia allows you to admire the coast from a unique perspective. The sea caves are spectacular, with plays of light on the water and rock that create a suggestive atmosphere. The navigation was relaxing and pleasant, with interesting explanations along the way. Recommended for those who want to discover the beauty of the Syracuse sea in a simple and fascinating way.

Good through churning seas, but not really necessary tour - Ride took place in windy weather, were already worried that it would have to be cancelled altogether due to the weather, but the boat was safely steered by the somewhat churning sea. Unfortunately, the leadership was bilingual (English and Spanish) and the language change often confused, partly because the pronunciation was unclear. Otherwise, you don't really miss anything if you don't do the boat trip.
