Amazing time on the water - This was an amazing tour around Ortigia island and the caves. Franco and Laura did a great job of guiding us around and explaining the history of the island with plenty of interesting stories. Make sure to plan some time out of your time in Ortigia to do one of the waterfront tours with Dolci Excursioni!

Exceptional. Bravíssimp Franco! - We went to Reyes Day, January 6th and the trip eb boat exceeded all our exocutives by far. Especially ka attention, information and friendliness of Franco, the "capiani" of the boat was absolutely incredible, professional reassuring my partner that it is somewhat scary to sail, very friendly and with exceptional explanations of the route. It was our last day in Ortigia, and in Sicily and Nis we carried a memory for the rest of our lives.

Great tour and guide - Our tour guide was amazing. He was able to point out everything and tell us about it. We were also very impressed with how skilled he was at driving the boat. He was also able to take pictures of my friend and me in the caves which was great. The pictures turned out amazing. We had a great time and would definitely do it again.

Do not miss this tour! - An amazing experience! The views were breathtaking and the narrative by the crew about the history and significance of what we saw was very good.
