Fun, Beautiful, Relaxing, Interesting tour - My husband and I had a wonderful time on our boat trip! The lady giving the tour spoke excellent English and it was a very interesting tour. It was also a small group tour which was so nice. We toured caves, one cave was heart shaped, the port and then viewed Syracuse from the ocean. The captain driving the boat did an excellent job touring us around as well. They were all so nice and friendly. We really enjoyed it!

If you have time to spare, it's a pleasant ride. - This tour was fine, an hour was more than enough though. The guide/captain was decent. I would not consider this a must-do in Ortigia, but if it's a nice day and you have the time, it's pleasant.
