Excelente Servicio - The best trip you can do in Sicily, since you meet Stefano, who is very friendly and takes care of your needs in multiple languages including Spanish, English, and Italian, and the water trip to the cave was amazing, it will blow your mind. Thank you for an amazing trip.

To do absolutely - We spent 1 hour by boat along the coast of Syracuse. We went back into the caves, it's magic. The water is so clear. It is also beautiful to go around Ortigia.

Excellent experience - It would be a shame to visit Syracuse without seeing Ortigia from the sea, a human-sized boat that allows unlikely glides into caves and under bridges, a warm welcome and a friendly and interesting guide. I highly recommend it.

Nice boat tour around Ortigia but missed seeing the caves - We were unable to go to the caves due to the high seas which was disappointing but not the fault of the tour operator.
