    Sunset Boat Trip to Armona Island and Praia Deserta
    "I gave it three stars because I booked the tour without an Italian-speaking guide. As a result, I couldn't get any explanations in my native language, and had to make do with a few words in English and a few in Spanish. Otherwise, everything went according to plan. The guide was also excellent, as was the captain's attention to those with mild mobility issues. Thank you for this experience!"Bruno, September 22, 2025
