Information, due to the rough seas, we did not get a chance to go out on the boat. The operators were very informative in telling us that we should not go out (the water was indeed rough and the wind was strong). The offered to either reschedule our trip Or give us a refund. Because o was leaving Siracusa that evening, we could not reschedule so they immediately provided us a refund. Very professional!
Everything perfect... highly recommended!
An simply unforgettable experience! We chose Dolci Escursioni to visit Ortigia and the marine caves, and we couldn't have made a better choice. A special thanks to Mr. Sebastiano, an exceptional guide: knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and always available. With his passion, he told us the story of Syracuse and made us discover wonderful corners that we would hardly have known on our own. The boat was comfortable, clean, and well-organized, while the tour was rich in breathtaking views, crystal-clear waters, and perfect stops for a relaxing swim. The atmosphere was welcoming and pleasant from start to finish. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Syracuse. Thanks again to Mr. Sebastiano and all the staff at Dolci Escursioni for making our day truly special. We will definitely return!
A beautiful excursion 💪💪
Shout out to Stefano and Ciccio! Thanks for the amazing sunset cave tour + swimming. This tour is not to be missed!
Beautiful experience. Definitely worth doing
Beautiful, large boat and spectacular guide
Beautiful experience and excellent professionalism. I highly recommend it
I highly recommend a trip with sweet excursions, it was fantastic, well-prepared people, Captain Franco was extraordinary, thank you again.
The tour keeps what it promises. The caves are simple, not compared to the famous Blue Cave of Capri, or others from its own Italy, Portugal, etc. At the end a good dive closes the activity. Great for having a 360 degree view of the island of Ortigia
