The lunch was great and drinks were provided all the time (including wine). We swam in beautiful waters and explored amazing places. Most importantly, the crew was the best part of the tour. Always attentive to us, super entertaining and fun. Evangelo was super friendly and shared lots of stories with us, we danced, we talked a lot, he really made us spend the best day on the boat. really appreciated him!…”
