Ortigia boat trip - Fabulous trip. Ninni, our host was knowledgeable, passionate and funny. The sky turned dark and threatening as we headed out and the views and pictures of Ortigia were exceptional. The sun returned by the time we reached the caves. Lovely trip. Highly recommended

This was such a fun... - This was such a fun outing. Definitely bring a swim suit so u can take a dip in the Mediterranean sea but make sure you have a towel with you as well. Our tour guide Matteo was informative and fun. Its good to b with people who enjoy what they do. The sea caves were unique-our boat captain navigated these small areas expertly.

Amazingly Great - Great experience we got to see the caves learn somethings about some of the best spots in Syracuse and Ortigia and with the tour we got to swim twice in 2 beautiful locations. Shout out to Nunzio our young skipper which did an excellent job and was the heart of the experience. Also ask him for restaurant recommendations he can help. Definitely recommend.

Beauty and sympathy for two hours of serenity♥️ - WONDERFUL! Ask explicitly about Mr. Carmelo who is a good and funny soul and will make you spend two carefree hours full of beauty, telling you curiosities without weighing you down but always enriching the experience! The caves are amazing and the bathing spots are gorgeous! Highly recommended to start the holiday with the perfect mood or to finish on a high note!

One of the best boat trips - My family and I were searching for hours to decide which was the best boat tour. We were delightfully surprised with this tour and we highly recommend it for people who enjoy or want to learn the history/culture of the city. We took the 2hr boat tour and it was absolutely worth it. The beautiful scenery, swim stops and caves were perfect.

Experiences (Adventure and Knowledge) - You know when something happens because it has to happen. That's what happened. A boat ride with Syracuse Excursion and with Ninni the one who made us know, through his knowledge, his experience and his narration a place before today, unknown to us. An immersion in the history of Ortigia and Syracuse, a story, or rather a novel of culture, art and traditions spanning 2,800 years. Two pleasant hours passed too quickly. Thank you.

A great way to see Ortigia - Nunseo, our driver, gave us an enjoyable boat ride! He took us through the openings of caves, etc., and told us a few stories. He was going to stop for a swim but we opted not to. We had a great time.
