3-hour Palermo UNESCO walking tour with a licensed English guide, Cathedral entry, and a classic cannolo or granita at the end.
“Great way to explore Palermo with its important sites and rich history. Cannoli at the end were amazing as well!”
3-hour Cefalù boat ride with snorkeling, fruit, and prosecco. Small-group feel, clear-water moments, and real weather limits.
“Was a scam, did not get what we paid for. At first we were told that there was not room for us on the boat, and then we were told we could get a boat tour 4,5 hours later. Then the new boat was filled with too many people, not room for us to sit in the boat, we did not get drinks or the fruit that we paid for. Would not recommend booking this.”
Sunset dolphin cruise in Lampedusa with an aperitif, starry night swim, and a small family crew. 3 hours, $59.25 per person.
“Very minimal aperitif, chips, peanuts, spritz pizzas, the rest in the norm... most of the excursion dedicated to dolphin watchingAuto-translated”
A 3-hour small-group walk through Ragusa’s UNESCO baroque churches and Ibla gardens, with Serena’s clear stories in English.
“Our guide Serena was brilliant she knew her history and all the knowledge about every church that we went to.She was always engaged and looked happy with her job.Luckily we were the only ones but she did say she only does small groups and i think we went over time which she wasnt worried about. 10 out of 10 Serena thanks”
