Sue and Peter Stevenson - We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Jeso and Fabio were very informative and extremely friendly and caring. We felt the whole experience was well worth doing in a small group giving us chance to get to know the other five people.
We would highly recommend this trip.

Fun boat tour, not a lot of information but a really nice time - This is a very intimate, almost private boat ride, which is what we were hoping for. The boat itself was very nice. Guide was more hands-off and didn’t offer a lot of history of the area, but was personably and very friendly. He went out of his way to make a dinner reservation for us, which was amazing. The wine on the boat was lovely, we had one table wine and two port, and were offered refills of everything. There wasn’t much of a snack, just a few cookies.
The tour itself was hard to figure out, communication beforehand with the company when I had a question was impossible. And standing at the marina/restaurant trying to find our guide was very confusing, and took some time. So be warned there’s no sign or mark, you just stand at the top of the marina near the restaurant and wait for them to call you. Can take a while to find them.
Overall this was a wonderful, private experience on the boat and we had an amazing time! The guide and captain were both super nice. But if you’re looking for a lot of history (or a lot of snacks), this tour doesn’t have that. For the price, I definitely recommend.
