Fabulous experience you should NO miss - It was a beautiful experience. Pepe and Nicola were two amazing guides who accompanied us both explaining the architecture, beliefs, myths and swimming to magical places where they told us more stories of the place. A beautiful morning DE three hours, which was the best choice DE active from my trip to Naples. A worthwhile excursion, with amazing views and accompanied DE two very friendly guides. Fabulous, amazing and highly recommended. I would repeat without hesitation. .

Great trip - Excellent trip, great guide and the chance to swim into some caves, see parts of Naples which I would have never gone alone. Great time around 3 hours with 2 swimming spots.

Unique way to see the view of Naples - We had a great experience seeing the area of Naples (Napoli) by boat. Our tour guides were Valeria who did most of the driving and Nico who did most of the narrating of the tour. It was a very comfortable boat with enough room for the three of us and an additional three who also attended. It was a beautiful day out, and the water was very refreshing. They both provided us a great deal of information about the history of Naples and the impact of the Romans. I will say that it should be explained more in the description of the tour that the boat will be anchored a good distance from the shore, so it does take a great deal of energy and time to swim each way. Plus you are only provided a small floating device to use. The beach area is also more rocky than expected from the description. There is a small window of snorkeling, but I wish they would have provided a little more time to enjoy this since it is nice clear water to see below. The best part of the experience is swimming into caves and having the opportunity to jump from a small cliff into the water. It was also cool to be in a shallow "pool area" where the locals go to hang out and swim comfortably. Overall, this was a wonderful tour and great way to see the local area. I highly recommend people take this tour to see a beautiful side of Naples.

Wonderful experience, hope we'll be able to come back - What a beautiful experience! Together with my fiancee have been on many boat trips in area but this was on another level! We got a nice background on the history of Naples and the history of the visited locations at the Posilipo coast which we really appreicated. We got to see the most beautiful and quiet parts of the coast, without the trourist crowds and with insider insight provided by our Argo team <3 We drank some lovely wine too. Really, this was a month ago but I still think of going back and I was on multiple boat trips there, so yeah, a special experience for sure! A heartfelt thank you for the guys and a huge recommendation for people visiting Naples!

Living the sea of Naples - Beautiful ride on the coast of Posillipo. The boat is wide and comfortable, I always felt safe. Captain Valeria is very welcoming and a special guda, and a 'must-do experience

Great tour - Great tour! We had lots of fun sailing on the Argo boat. Feeding seagulls that landed on the boat and sea. Snorkelling was good, swimming into hidden caves and beach coves was great plus collecting sea glass on the beach. Valencia and Nico were very good tour guides who explained the history of Naples and told folklore stories. Snacks and drinks were provided and snorkelling equipment. We had fun with our group and enjoyed the whole experience. I would recommend this trip.

Rude Guides and Thieves - I do not recommend anyone to do business with this company. The people are rude. They lost a flipper and forced us to pay €20.00. It's not about the money, but rather the threatening attitude they had. I was with 3 children and did not want to call the police. Very unpleasant. Do not buy the trip so as not to ruin your vacation.
