we walked to the meeting point from polignano (~40min) but I think there was a car transfer option available that I wasn't aware of. the tour started on time as one of the tour guides checked us in in front of the abbey. good boat tour overall, visited many caves, drink+snack stop at one of the caves. there wasn't much input from the tour guide but he did point out things from time to time. the tour was a good length and we appreciated the good sights. we didn't stop for a swim - this might have been weather dependent.
Amazing!

The meeting point was confusing as it was different to what was on the ticket, but luckily the tour operator had been in touch via What’s App in advance. We had some rough seas and got a bit wet, but it was really fun. Having Prosecco in a cave was a highlight. Our captain was great as well as the other passengers.

This tour was amazing! It’s the perfect tour to see an extraordinary architecture between nature and human actions. I received some birds droppings during the tour but that makes the experience even more memorable. The skipper was very kind and the tour organiser, Christian, was also extremely nice and offered to drop me at the station. Some tips, don’t bring your Prada lol and be ready to be wet. It’s part of the experience.

The excursion was delayed for over a half hour, leaving us standing out in the sun waiting. It turns out there was an understandable reason, but we were not advised as to the reason while waiting.
All the staff was very pleasant; the caves were interesting and varied, and the boat ride thrilling.

This Tour was so nice! First of all we needed to change dates two times and they were super friendly about it and it was no problem at all! After we arrived there we were suprised of how many people there were but they had different boats for each group. Once we got on our boat it was just amazing. He showed us different caves along the coast and even drove inside them with such precision. I just recommend this tour!
It was an amazing and...

Poor customer service and no tour

We telephone the tour organiser as they said they offered free hotel pick up within their terms. I asked them as we were travelling from a long way awsy, if they could pick us up from the local train station, 10 mins from the boat departure point. He agreed to pick us up at the train station about 45 mins before the tour departs at 2pm. Our train was delayed so I messaged him agsin and asked if he could still collect us or if he could offer us another time that day or the following day. He said something about the sea being too rough, but then didn't offer us any alternative your as we only had one day left of our holiday. I asked instead if we could have a refund. He agreed. I later asked when I could expect the refund. He said "tomorrow". By afternoon the next day, I messaged him and said I had not received the refund and when could I expect this. He said "I will check". That was the last I heard from him. I never received the refund of £52. This is unfair and poor customer service. I would stay away from them as they only seem to want your money and not show you any courtesy when things go wrong due to no fault of our own.
