We could not understand our boat guide at all. The sights are beautiful however. We did the 5pm one and got back in time for sunset

Our tour guide informed us that we needed to tour earlier due to choppy water, we still couldn’t enter the caves but the tour was fun and very interesting. We swam at the end! Highly recommend!!

Seeing Ortigia from the perspective of the water is great. Unique formations in the structure of the rocks and caves were interesting. My husband and I were the only two willing to go for the swim, however, since I cannot swim independently I was not allowed, despite the use of a lifejacket.

The guide was great. Very informative and knowledgeable. Spoke both Italian and English. Left on time and back on time. Communication prior to departure was very good and helpful. Making sure I knew where I was going. Highly recommend using them.

This tour was a highlight of our visit to Ortigia. If we hadn’t done this tour we would have missed out on something special. Skipper Franco was great company and a perfect guide. We were two parents and a 9-year-old and we all loved the tour. If you’re not sure whether to take this tour, just do it. When your skipper offers you the chance to jump in the beautiful water, make sure you do that too. I wasn’t sure, as it was an overcast day and not very hot, but in the end I did go in and it was so worth it! The water is sublime and my partner claimed that I looked younger afterward - not something I hear every day! 100% recommended.

Really beautiful tour the tour guide was really nice but we couldn’t really understand him so we missed out on a lot of the information I would’ve liked to of understood but he was trying. The price can’t be beat so I can’t complain, but if you want his historical tour where you learn some thing That didn’t work out for us

Tiziano, super gentile, bravo e amichevole. Abbiamo fatto un giro dalla durata circa di 1 ora e 15 minuti con circa 10 compresi di tuffo in mare. Grotte stupende, mare calmo e caldissimo. Da fare assolutamente! Bellissimo anche per un siciliano come me abituato a tutto ciò. Consigliatissimo e da fare per il prezzo che secondo me è irrisorio per la vista e spiegazione del tour!!

We were two couples, and we totally enjoyed this tour and all the sites, caves and coves we visited. The guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Ortigia.
