The Aeolian Islands of Sicily E-bike & Boat Tour Reviews — 1 to 4 of 4

It was an excellent tour. It was a beautiful boat and the 3 staff were family comprising of the Captain,the chef and the onboard person who worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best trip. They were all wonderful and the food was sensational. Our guide Jochin was brilliant. He had a gentle manner and a good communicator. His knowledge of all the places we went to was excellent and he planned our daily trips with care and thoughtfulness. Nothing was too much trouble. It was a good group and a great bond between clients and staff.

The whole trip was fabulous. The boat was comfortable and crew and guide were very well informed and provided a great experience. The family who owns and runs the boat are capable, competent and helpful.

Our tour aboard the Sundial was fantastic. In addition to the gorgeous setting and the wonderful boat, what really made our trip special was the crew, a family operation. They were pleasant, interactive, hard working, and professional, all while making an extra effort to make our trip smooth and enjoyable. In addition, the food was excellent, with lots of seafood prepared differently each night. With only six couples on board, it was an intimate, fun atmosphere. My only suggestion would be for Tripsite, not the crew, and that would be to more accurately represent the difficulty of the riding. For my age, I am a relatively strong cyclist so I originally selected a conventional bike. Fortunately, during the bike fitting before leaving port, Angelo, the first mate, gave us an accurate description of the rides (many kilometers of 6% grade, etc.) and encouraged us to select a bike that would make the rides enjoyable, not a torturous workout. Because of that I switched to an e-bike, and I am very glad I did— I would have been miserable and not able to enjoy the beauty of the islands.
