Real professionals!!! - Excursion at sea on a beautiful day in March. Real professionals on board and at the sales desk, super helpful and tireless in giving useful advice to spend time in Syracuse and surroundings. Nice, helpful and never intrusive, 5 stars really deserved.

Highly recommend! - Although we booked the yacht tour, sadly it was broken down, but Aleandro offered a tour in a different boat at a cheaper rate. It was a lovely experience regardless and we really enjoyed the tour of the caves and getting to swim at different locations. Aleandro is also very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the area. It was great having a private tour and Aleandro was a lovely host. Grazie Mille!

Great boat trip, beautiful views and very informative - We had a great boat trip with Alejandro. The boat was a good size for the five of us, we were able to move round the boat quite easily and sit at the front and back. Space down below with a toilet and ample room to change into swimming costumes. A really informative tour with lots of interesting knowledge about the surrounding areas and lots of beautiful views. Going into a sea cave was great! Would recommend.

Fantastic - Skipper Alejandro was the best! We are 2 older women 70 and 75 and apprehensive about getting to the boat from our hotel. Alejandro- no problem. Met us at the hotel and walked with us to the boat. The boat was clean and had a sun shade. He explained all the local sights making sure we understood everything. He took time for me to have a swim in the sea. The sights of Ortigia and Siracusa from the water were beautiful. At the end skipper Alejandro wanted to escort us back to our hotel to make sure we were comfortable. Alejandro went above and beyond.
