the day we went the sea was a bit rough with 1-2 metre swells so we couldn’t get close to the sea caves as it was too dangerous. We explored both sides of the harbour and stopped for a swim near the fortress which was lovely. The views from the boat were great and ducking our heads as the boat went under the low bridge was a great experience.

The tour was perfect. The tour guide was passionate about his town and he really knew his history. He had a great sense of humor and left us loving the tour and the town. Closed out with tips to find the best of everything in Ortigia

Great experience traversing the waves and exploring the caves. There were only 3 of us on the boat which was fabulous and our guide Lucia (hope I got that right) spoke fabulous English and took the time to explain and answer questions. Captain Carmello was brilliant knew the sea and his boat inside and out.
Happy to recommend this tour.

Our guide was fantastic! The tour was so enjoyable with only 7 people. A small boat which allowed us to go under low bridges and go in cave areas! Highly recommend Syracuse excursions!

Ninni gave us an enjoyable 2 hour boat tour with 2 swim stops.
The boat holds approx 8 people . Bring towel, water and a snack if you like.( we stopped at the food market for some fresh baggets , fruit and cheese)
There are a few boat drivers but Ninni is passionate, philosophical , numerous with very good explanation of the history behind Ortigia and Syracusa plus we got to see the sea caves etc .
The boat has a canopy .Two hours went by quickly.
Enjoy !

This was an excellent trip. There are so many boat trips to choose from in Ortigia but I was very impressed with this one. It was two hours long. The driver was very friendly and very good with the two elderly parents we had with us. He took us to two lovely swimming spots, showed us the sea caves and then took us to see the fort. Although they take a maximum of 15-20 people there were only 7 of us so we had a very personal experience. Highly recommend.

Really good trip!! A guide that speaks basically perfect english and has alot of knowledge about everything we pass with the boat.

This was absolutely the best thing for us!
The group was not too big (not crowded) we stopped 2-3 times so we had the opertunity to swim, they also were very attentive, making sure we all were okay and safe

Absolutely reccomended
