“The tour itself is fun. Boat is good, ride is smooth, timely and dependable. The local operator (Navigazione ?) is HORRIBLE when it comes to providing information on where to meet, when to meet and what to look for when doing the hop-on/hop-off. The skippers are just in a rush to maintain the number of trips so its next to impossible to get them to answer and they barely speak English.”

“Departure was fine. The kiosk to the left of the NAVIGAZIONE ISOLE BORROMEE building will give you a dock colour to go to. Small speedy taxi boat to Madre. Be aware seeing this island costs 20 Euros pp. It was worth it and we had a lovely time. No swimming possible on Madre. Boat to next island was a short wait in the shade.
