A highly recommended boat tour - This was an excellent boat tour with a very friendly crew. It was a very relaxing way to spend a few hours on the water. The lunch was excellent, with more food than we could possibly eat and plenty to drink (wine, water, soft drinks). Being early in the season, the trip was under-capacity, so we really appreciate that they still ran it. Grazie mille

Fantastic boat tour - So much better than a lot of the other tours of the island being offered. Fantastic local food and drinks onboard. The presence of shade and the opportunity to go swimming in the Med were also nice perks

Most impressive and relaxing tour - The crew was extremely friendly and accommodating!! The tour was beautiful and the time we stopped for lunch on the boat was the most impressive. Was not expecting the amount or quality of food. Uh

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!!

Boat tour Ortigia - We enjoyed the boat tour very much and the lunch was delicious. It was unfortunate, however, that there was no one on board to give us some history/explanations about what we were seeing, or about our itinerary. That would definitely have enriched the experience.
