Review of Syracuse’s 2-hour Ortigia boat trip, with sea caves, swimming, snorkeling, Prosecco, practical tips, price, and honest drawbacks.

“Didn't catch a name but our captain bowed down and showed his balding head from being in the sun all the time when hes on board the boat, our thoughts and prayers. He was a great guide and hilarious, great music taste, took us to beautiful places with rich blue water, gorgeous caves and lovely places to swim. Big and strong so he could pull us all up from the water after "jump or no jump". Recomended!”

“Personale dell'agenzia molto carino e disponibile, il problema però era che a un prezzo così elevato ci saremmo aspettati molto di più da vedere. Mare pulito ma acque scure e non cristalline, grotte quasi inesistenti, bagno in mare aperto in luoghi a caso privi di particolarità da vedere o visitare. Mi aspettavo molto di più”
