“This was AMAZING! Nick was incredibly patient and very informative! The entire Excursion from beginning to the end was just so wonderful! The water and scenery is other worldly! Crazy beautiful! Erika, our driver picked us up right at the Port, had a sign waiting and then she took us into town instead of returning us to the boat which was great because that old town is not to be missed! Especially the point at the end which is called Venetian Point I believe and it looks like a little town in Italy it is just sunny so definitely go into the town don't skip that!”
