"Respected the program, pleasant day, good food and they also understood Italian ... which in these parts is not at all a given!!!. Thanks"Annalisa, June 26, 2025
"A nice tour in itself, we even saw dolphins...
BUT I booked 2.5 hours and we drove for 1.5 hours. An hour less seems pretty cheeky to me! We then had to watch the sunset on land while a few boats were still cruising along. I think that's a real shame, because that's one of the reasons we chose this rather expensive tour!
