Must do in Syracuse

Published on Jan, 2025

Franko was a brilliant tour guide and boat skipper. Wonderful scenery and explanation of history and key sites. Highly recommended.

Amazing time on the water

Published on Jan, 2025

This was an amazing tour around Ortigia island and the caves. Franco and Laura did a great job of guiding us around and explaining the history of the island with plenty of interesting stories. Make sure to plan some time out of your time in Ortigia to do one of the waterfront tours with Dolci Excursioni!

Great tour and guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Our tour guide was amazing. He was able to point out everything and tell us about it. We were also very impressed with how skilled he was at driving the boat. He was also able to take pictures of my friend and me in the caves which was great. The pictures turned out amazing. We had a great time and would definitely do it again.

Great day on the water
