Enjoyable boat tour of Taormina.
Gianluca (the guide and boat driver) made the boat tour very enjoyable. Music was great and his interaction with the tuorists was fun.

A great two hours
Had a great two hours with Gianluca. The grandkids still talking about it. They got to steer the boat. It’s great way to appreciate the beauty of the coast

Wonderful Boat Tour!
Wonderful boat tour with a friendly and knowledgable captain! The company had flexibility with my booking date due to questionabale weather. Loved seeing the beautiful countryside and Mt Etna from the sea. It was chilly for swimming but we stopped outside Isola Bella for prosecco and treats. I would do this tour again.
