“What a fantastic boat trip, with three fantastic stops at Capo Vaticano and along the coast. Ample time swimming and snorkelling. Host diligently spoke in English first for the handful of non-Italian tourists and then spoke to them in Italian. Quality tour and excellent value for money. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tropea!”
