Mare stupendo e personale...

Esperienza unica!

Bellissima esperienza! La visita molto interessante e la grotta delle bambole strepitosa. Mirco è stato una guida top! Gentilissimo…. Grazie per la bellissima esperienza
mi aspettavo di più per il prezzo

Premetto che secondo me viste le condizioni del mare non era da fare, ma sicuramente la capitaneria di porto ha autorizzato la crociera….comunque, non critico il fatto di essere partiti ugualmente ma:
1 – appena partiti, mare molto mosso ci viene detto che fino ad 1 ora prima era una tavola piatta….vabbè io non sono un marinaio ma nemmeno tonto
2 – da lontano ci dicono che quella è la villa di Tiberio….da lontano…poi ci fanno vedere sulla barca una foto di come è dentro…a questo punto non era meglio guardare su internet con calma!!!
3 – la Grotta delle bambole….boh….c’era?!!!...ma su questo non vorrei essermi distratto io
5 – Arriviamo alla Grotta Azzurra e ci dicono quella è la grotta….vabbè ma da lontanissimo non come nelle foto….e cosa ha di particolare?...sempre meglio utilizzare internet allora
6 – niente bagno alla grotta Azzurra ma da un’altra parte
7 – dovevamo arrivare alle acque di Gaeta….forse ci siamo arrivati ma non lo so
Spesa eccessiva per quello che abbiamo visto e fatto, se le condizioni del mare non permettono certe cose…i soldi però li hanno voluti ugualmente.
Chiunque dopo aver speso 33 euro a testa (nel mio caso 99 euro) ci pensa bene prima di rinunciare!!!!
Response from Host , Aug 2021
Gentile Sig. Massimo leggo con rammarico la sua Recensione, per diverse inesattezze indicate che andrò discutere con questa risposta.
Le condizioni del mare purtroppo nel giorno che ha fatto il Tour non erano eccellenti ma nemmeno proibitive.
Chiunque converrà con me che le condizioni del mare possono cambiare in pochi minuti e che un vento previsto magari nel pomeriggio possa anticiparsi.
Proprio per evitare che persone predisposte al mal di mare si lamentassero abbiamo infatti sospeso le corse pomeridiane.
Da sottolineare che il tutto si è svolto sempre in sicurezza ed è questo per noi fondamentale.
Detto questo mi dispiace che non abbia potuto godere di condizioni perfette.
Per quanto riguarda il punto numero 2, la Villa di Tiberio e la grotta sono parte del Museo archeologico di Sperlonga
Non si può certo accedervi da mare.
Tutto il sito è recintato per cui se aveva intenzione di fare una visita più approfondita e (con più calma) avrebbe dovuto acquistare un biglietto del museo (via terra).
Noi ci limitiamo a fare un racconto storico del ritrovamento dei resti archeologici “Odissea di marmo” e le abbiamo gentilmente mostrato una ricostruzione delle statue all’interno della grotta come da racconto.
Non sappiamo quale aspettativa avesse in merito.
Molti pensano di poter fare il bagno nelle piscine di Tiberio ma mai nessuno ha potuto.
3. La grotta della Bambole e la Grotta azzurra sono lo stesso luogo, il primo è il nome per noi locali il secondo è come stata ribattezzata dai turisti che l'hanno trovata molto simile alla più famosa di Capri.
5. Non ho capito cosa volesse dire...
6. Purtroppo il sito risultava molto esposto al vento proveniente da Sud per cui abbiamo preferito far fare la sosta bagno alle magnifiche ed altrettanto suggestive grotte di bazzano ,caletta in quel momento meno esposta e dove è stato possibile farlo in sicurezza…..cosa che tutti ( tranne lei evidentemente)hanno apprezzato quel giorno.
7. Il tour finisce al confine con Gaeta .
Organizziamo anche Escursioni più lunghe per visitare tutta la costa .
Ha sbagliato forse lei nel suo acquisto.
Sulla sua considerazione finale posso risponderle con assoluta onestà che se solo ne avesse fatto richiesta le avrei accordato di riprogrammare la data dell'esperienza ad un altro giorno.
Se ha sofferto di mal di mare come purtroppo accade a molti è riconducibile soltanto ad una soggettività che non riguarda e non ha riguardato tutti i clienti a bordo.
Rimango della convinzione che le molte recensioni positive mi gratificano, così come quelle negative possono dare uno spunto per migliorare in qualche cosa, ma devono essere argomentate con cognizione di causa e non con tante considerazioni fatte in maniera approssimativa come ha appena fatto lei.
Cordiali Saluti.
Luigi.

La mia esperienza

, Aug 2020
Beh paesaggio magnifico non ce che dire,però per 25 euro non ne vale la pena anche perché doveva durare un ora e 30 ma siamo rientrati in porto 40 minuti prima..quindi che dire si e una mini crociera ma pagata come una normale a ponza con 30 euro stavi in barca 6 ore e ti offrivano anche il pranzo a bordo..ma giusto x dire...
Response from Host , Aug 2020
Che dire...una recensione indecente da parte sua.
Sorvolando la parte del confronto con altre località ,dove hanno licenze per portare anche 30 40 persone contemporaneamente.
La cosa che più mi intristisce, sentire una bugia, come quella di essere rientrati addiruttura 40 minuti prima...praticamente il 50% del tempo in meno.
Chiunque legga la sua recensione capirà che è tendenziosa e per nulla attendibile per giudicare la mia esperienza.
Saluti.
Luigi
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.
