The only place in the world that rejuvenates you only by breathing its air is Ischia, thanks to its natural hot springs and thermal baths all around the island.

Well this was one of our highlights for our time in Europe. Our guide, Paolo, met us at the ferry port to start our exciting day. The ferry ride over was pleasant, then we were met by our driver, another great character. We visited the castle, Paolo was very knowledgeable. We stopped at several places for photos. We decided to stop for lunch, at our expense. Paolo took us to a great restaurant and I tried the local speciality of rabbit and spaghetti, nice. Paolo enaged with us and had a great sense of humour. Highly recommend this tour if you are only visiting for the day.

I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the beauty of Ischia and enjoy the food that Ischia has to offer! The sights were beautiful and we were able to see points of interest that you would not be able to see with a large tour group.. Our tour guide, Paolo, was knowledgeable, friendly and really made the tour a great experience!

We decided to rent from Sea dreams because we felt comfortable after talking with Mr. Pepe. He was very accommodating and nice. We booked it a day before with no issue. It was our 1st time ever to ride a boat but Mr. Pepe made it looks so easy and simple and it was as he described. He gave us a tour of the boat and how to drive it and show us the attraction points on the map. The boat was in a great condition, well maintained and clean. Ischia is a great place to visit specially going around it by Sea dream's boat was the best decision ever !!
