Simply the best boot tour in Sicily! - This is the best boat tour I've ever been on! Roberto and Umberto were the perfect hosts, thank you so much for looking after us so well yesterday (27/5). We spent 4 blissful hours seeing the beautiful coastline with several swimming stops and delicious food and wine. We met some fantastic people and this is a trip we'll never forget. A perfect day.

Most amazing boat day!! - We had such a great time on our boat tour! The crew was so nice and made everything super easy—they were great at answering all our questions and communication before and during the trip was clear and helpful. The food and drinks were delicious, and the boat itself was so fun and comfortable. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and we loved that we could stay connected with another boat the whole time. Plus, they had Bluetooth so we could play our own music, which made it even better. Highly recommend!

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.
