    My husband and I had a wonderful time on our boat trip! The lady giving the tour spoke excellent English and it was a very interesting tour. It was also a small group tour which was so nice. We toured caves, one cave was heart shaped, the port and then viewed Syracuse from the ocean. The captain driving the boat did an excellent job touring us around as well. They were all so nice and friendly. We really enjoyed it!
