Ortigia
The private tour with aperitif will start from the bridges of Ortigia and then we will enter the "large port" of Syracuse and the beautiful alfeo seafront of Ortigia. Later we will go out of the port to circumnavigate the island and admire the monuments located along the coast. We will leave Ortigia to head towards the coast north of Syracuse to go and see the beautiful sea caves. Later we will return from the "small port" to navigate within the Ortigia canal that divides the island from the city and we will pass under the bridges to return to the starting point. The visit is guided and a historical and geographical explanation is provided. It is also possible to stop for a swim.

It was nice to see the island from the water and the caves were pretty cool. The driver of the boat was very nice but didn't speak English well and offered very little information about what we were seeing on the coastline. It was more like a boat ride than a tour. Really a little disappointing since our time was limited and we probably could have had a better experience and learned more about the area on a 2-hour land tour.

Just so-so and expensive, We were a group of 4 and only got a half a plastic cup of prosecco, not sure what they did with the other half of the bottle when we left. Fruit was just a few peaches and grapes. We thought it was expensive for what we got. Suggest comparing prices when you are there, as this was just a ride on a fishing boat with just a few sips of prosecco at the end. Guide’s English was hard to understand

Thank you to frederico for this nice walk and his kindness! We made this moment for our honeymoon and we are delighted to have chosen this activity that was perfect! Looking forward to returning to Syracuse and sailing again with your company! Mary and Matthew

Great boat tour! Ninni was a great Captain, giving us a great history of Ortega and Siracusa over the year and some Sicilian culture. If we wanted to we had the opportunity to swim but we had a fancy dinner reservation right after and not enough time to change (our issue, not the tour) so we chose to not swim. We saw a few caves, the two ports, and chose the time to see a beautiful sunset. So much fun! I would also advise the meeting point is a booth on the opposite corner from the physical address- which we should have realized. Once spotted the crew promptly walked us to the boat (it would be very easy to get lost which is why the meeting spot) and put us into Ninni’s great hands.

Wonderful, warm, and understanding. Beautiful scenery, great guide. This is a great way to get a different view of Ortiga and enjoy being on the water.

HIGHLY recommend this tour! The staff was extremely friendly and professional and the boat was clean and perfect for our tour to the caves. Diego was amazing at navigating the water and caves to make the entire ride smooth. It was one of the best tours I have done in Sicily thus far!

This was a super, great experience. Our guide Lucia shared so many nice stories about Siracusa and the boat captain Diego was excellent. So nice to see the city from the sea and to explore inside the caves and the nature reserve area. 10/10 experience and a must do while in the area.

What a spectacular way to end our special time in Syracusa! Ninni was an amazing skipper who guided us through a magical evening with beautiful scenery, superb swims and history. We enjoyed every minute of our boat trip. Thank you to the team for great organization, Sicilian treats and prosecco. To Ninni, we rate you 7 stars 🥰
