I think this tour is the easiest way to visit Ponza island directly from Anzio or other meeting points. The tour guide and skippers are very good and ready to take you around Ponza with enthusiasm, it was really a great experience and the island is really particular and beautiful, water is really impressive!
We were a group of five girls and I have to say we had the best time on this day trip! Everything was on time, from the bus that picked us up in Rome, the ferries and the boat rides. It never felt crowded on the transport options provided for us and all the payments were handled for us through our guides. Mara, our guide was an absolute joy! She had a clear Itinerary and she made sure we all knew what the day had in store for us. Mara also took us on fun swimming adventures in the caves when we would stop at the swimming spots during the boat rides. Massimo our captain made us pasta and served us bottomless wine! Safe to say that it was a Saturday well spent in Ponza. We all agreed that we would all do it again! Thanks Mara.
Big fan of girl's trips here and so happy to hear Mara made yours special! The grottos are really other-worldly aren't they? And the bottomless wine just the cherry on top. Come back again, we'd love to have you.
Very beautiful trip excellently accompanied by the guide Mara. You can see Ponza completely with numerous sea baths.
E' uno delle cose che adoriamo della gita circumnavigando l'isola di Ponza -- i tantissimi bagni che riusciamo a fare in contesti sempre più belli! Grazie per i complimenti e speriamo di darti il benvenuto a bordo di nuovo in futuro.
A wonderful experience with my family. Ricardo accompanied us, guided us, and helped us at all times. Everything was very well organized; it is enjoyable from start to finish.
¡Muchísimas gracias por sus maravillosas palabras! Nos alegra enormemente saber que disfrutaron la experiencia en familia de principio a fin. Riccardo es un gran guía y le encantará leer su comentario. Fue un placer organizar su día con nosotros, y esperamos darles la bienvenida de nuevo muy pronto. ¡Un cordial saludo desde Ponza!
