Good food. Good Wine. Great group of people. - Beautiful day on the boat. Unfortunately some of the trip/activities were changed or cancelled due to rough weather, but our trip was still fun...we anchored off the coast for a few hours. We swam, ate a very good Sicilian lunch with plenty of wine.

The boat ride was... - The boat ride was excellent, we stopped in a few nice stops and managed to get a lot of swimming in which was great given how lovely the sea was. We were happy to have picked this trip as the boat wasn’t busy and we were able to lay down and sunbathe unlike a lot of the other boats that we saw. To top it off, the lunch we had was lovely. Nothing fancy but simple and tasty salads and pasta with some wine. In all, a lovely relaxing afternoon!

Half day tour - amazing experience! Must try!! - The trip was very well planned and food was just perfect. We stopped twice to swim and it was a small group of people so it wasn’t crowded and we enjoyed the space. It’s certainly worth it- don’t miss out!!

Ortigia half day timber boat cruise - Friendly staff , great for a group of 8 adults to enjoy the sights of ortigia from the water Only one swim stop in a busy bay but still a cool way to escape the heat Lots of variety fresh pasta & salads for a substantial lunch Drinks let the rating down as a little warm / no ice ? But no limit to wine, water & soft drinks Beware beer drinkers as none available Good value

Ok not great - Good tour, and pleasant captain. The food was ok, home made but simplistic. Even thought it tasted ok, it was all the same, no variety. There was absolutely no protein.

Nice without more - Nice walk but lack of views and explanations. No music on the boat and captain a little reserved. Good food but the experience is expensive for the value for money.
