“Don't listen to the bad reviews on here - boat tour was very good value for money! We got the boat depicted in pic 3. We had 9 people on the boat and was more than enough room. Our guide Georgio was really lovely and actually asked the group collectively if we'd rather swim more or sight see more. We picked to swim more but I still feel we were able to see so much of the coast and swam for about 30-40 minutes which was more than enough. We were provided with nice biscuits and Prosecco and was told about the history of the coastline. Only thing is you…”
