Review of Syracuse’s 2-hour boat tour around Ortigia, Pillirina, and sea caves, with swimming stops, English guidance, price, sights, and tips.
“Our guide was quite rude and singled out my husband and I several times as he was talking, to the point one of the other couples made a comment that he was picking on us. When we got out to swim the first time, he moved the boat 3 times and then was upset with all the passengers that we didn’t stay on the correct side of the boat, making the swim “dangerous.” But he moved the boat! Also I think having 1 linger swim vs 2 short ones would be more beneficial. This tour was quite expensive for what we did in 2 hours.”
Pick a coast, a lagoon or a kind of day.
