Beautiful and very relaxing hike. - An hour and a half boat trip around the island of Ortigia is a suggestive and relaxing experience. The navigation allows you to admire the sea caves up close, with plays of light and reflections on the crystal clear water, offering spectacular views of the coast and the ancient old town. On board, tasting of prosecco, white wine and red wine pleasantly accompanies the tour, creating a convivial atmosphere. The duration is ideal to enjoy the panorama without haste, making the excursion perfect for those looking for a moment of relaxation immersed in the natural and historical beauty of Ortigia. Skipper really kind, helpful and very prepared in the guided tour. Super recommended!!

Fabulous way to see Cefalu at sunset - Our trip with Franco was amazing. He had so many facts and pointed out many areas we would have missed if he had not shared them with us. The sunset was unmatched. We made a same-day reservation, and Viator did not get our information to the tour provider in time. The tour provider (he was terrific, but I forgot his name) was so helpful and worked us in anyway. He did note that often, last-minute reservations on Viator and TripAdvisor are delayed, and the information does not come through in time. Please note this! He was able to accommodate us, but during the busy season, this would not have been possible. We LOVED this tour!
