g - Well the taxi strike caused a bit of hassle but the Ponza island Trip was wonderful. the staff/ crew was great and lunch was awesome . Upon return we were left without transportation back to our hotel . We were told we would have assistance in obtaining transport but that didn’t happen. We waited for an hour and a half and ended up walking back to the hotel .Not pleasant vc

Island of Dreams - Wonderful island to take your breath away we toured it by scooter but the ideal is to turn around by sea with the boat or in a rubber boat stopping in the various breathtaking coves with a Caribbean sea beautiful island amazing sea

Wonderful experience except for the ferry - The guide, Ponza and the boat ride around the island were all 5 stars 🌟 But the 2 hour ferry ⛴️ ride on rough seas was horrible. 🤢🤮

Fun day trip - Beautiful trip around Ponza. Very long day, especially if you’re starting from Rome. Good option to explore the Mediterranean Sea when you’re on a time limit of days in Italy. Amazing caves to swim through. Very fun

Amazing Day Trip! A+++++ - Best Day trip in Rome! I would definitely recommend this Ponza day trip if you're looking for a day of relaxing, swimming and enjoying the amazing scenery. The bluest of waters especially in the caves. Our stops were all so beautiful and the water was clear and warm. My tour guide Gianluca (Luca) was amazing all day. I traveled solo and he gave attention to everyone on trip. He went above and beyond even at the end of the tour by going out of his way to walk us to a taxi location and made sure everyone was all set! Thank you again Gianluca and staff! A+++

Amazing day!! - Amazing last day to our Italy trip!! Absolutely beautiful. Mara was great - tells you history of the island and rock formations along the way, shows you some incredible little secrets while swimming- don’t miss these. Lunch was delicious and the captain and his crew mate made sure you had anything needed. There is a cooler on board to keep your snacks/ drinks cold. Highly recommend!!! Until we meet again Mara.

A Great Way to Spend a Hot Day - It was great. The only downside was the heat and no water offered until lunch. Guide was great, lunch good and swimming was amazing.

Gorgeous - Swimming in the caves and the beautiful sites. Would think for the money the windows on boat would be clean enough to look out of ( for 1 1/2 hour ride) that you would get more then some noodles and oil for lunch. And the wine was bad . Could have passed out more drinks.
