DONOT hire!!!! They took my money and canceled on me - they did NOT issue me a refund. I am out $391, almost $400.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Hello Dear Customer,
Firstly, we are very upset that you couldn't do your experience. Unfortunately, the sea was rough and was not safe to sail.
For us, the safety is the most important thing. However, we have refunded you the same day of your experience.
It's not our fault if VIATOR didn't refund you yet.
For our side, the refund is done.
Disappointed Sailor 😔

Don’t go if you don’t have insurance

Do not go on this tour if you have ANY pre-existing health conditions - or if you just generally value health and safety. No lifesaving vests and the “skipper” was obviously driving the boat without any concern for the well-being of his passengers, especially those of the female variety whom he was obviously trying to impress by getting them as beat up as possible. My back, neck and tailbone are still reeling from this experience. Reckless and liability are my two main words describing this.

Amazing time !
From start to finish the crew was amazing - Christian and Nico the skipper were so sweet and attentive.
We truly saw the beauty of the caves in an exciting speedboat - where Nico explained and taught us the history of the caves and the surroundings.
It was truly a wonderful time.
I would do it again and again - bacio Nico e Christian
it was nice and relaxing,...

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!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
