A perfect few hours on a boat in Sicily would love to do it again.A perfect few hours on a boat in Sicily! - My wife and my seven-year-old son Matthew had a wonderful experience! it was a bit windy, Stefano put us at ease and let us know that the majority of the trip would be on the shielded side of the island away from the wind with the city blocking. it was just a great trip. We got to see what Artesia look like from the water. Probably a lot like invading armies would’ve seen as they came in. We went over to Syracuse to go inside and I have to say just magnificent handling of the boat in a confined space lots of fun! They were just a pleasure to deal with and we almost did it the next day again as well, but was short on time so went swimming nearby instead. :)

Knowledgeable and. Kind - Loved it and our guide was knowledgeable and very polite. He understood that one of us was very scared of the rough waters and did a great job putting her at ease.
