The swimming locations were amazing. We were offered googles, float mat and hand held sea scooter (float noodles were also available for those who need). The food selection was great with a variety of Sicilian specialties, which were extra tasty and welcomed after our first swim. I also recommend their Aperol Spritz which is one of the best I have so far. The tour was not rushed, with opportunities to relax and take it all in. Angela and Alberto made us feel…”
