We began at the Polignano train station and were picked up by car exactly as promised and driven to the spot where we would meet the boat. The boat was not there yet but the young man who drove us there stayed with us and made sure we were fine until the boat arrived just a few minutes, the boat was not late, he even helped us find a last minute restroom!

We had a wonderful time on the small private boat with David our guide and boat driver, we were the only boat on the water. We began our tour in the afternoon sunshine and the views looking back at Polignano did not disappoint, such a beautiful place. David was great and knowledgeable about all the sea caves, he gave us interesting stories about each one and additional facts along the way. Our driver was skilled and slipped us into some of the cases with ease.
Being on the boat with personal attention was a very welcome diversion from the sidewalk crowds.
In the tour description swimming was listed as part of the itinerary, but it was still too chilly and did not expect to stop and swim. I think that just made our boat trip longer, which we were happy about.
After the tour we simply walked the short distance back to the seaside boardwalk in Polignano, it went perfectly, would not change a thing.
