More than I expected. - Alessandro was a fountain of information as he explained each of the different rock formations. He provided great food and wine and went out of his way to ensure our comfort.

Isole do Ciclopi - Alessandro took us for a lovely boat ride to isole di ciclopi. We loved swimming in the sea. The views were breathtaking. His antipasta platter was delicious. And drinking prosecco on the sea in Sicily can not be matched. We can’t recommend this tour any more. It was perfect.

Superb day trip - A really lovely day on our very hot holiday! We sailed around lovely coastline, swam, chatted to the others on our trip. Highlights were snorkelling and seeing so many fishes, and the delicious aperitif and lunch. Plenty of sun, Prosecco, chat! The only issue was that we’d booked a different trip which was cancelled, and there was quite a lot of backwards and forwards with the admin about changing and paying. Alexandro was superb- thank you!
