You walk the narrow winding streets of two cities, see the medieval Fort Saint Angelo from the water, and stand in the Gardjola Gardens for a 360° view of the harbour where the Great Siege of 1565 was defended. The boat trip runs only in favourable weather; if conditions prevent it, the tour spends additional time exploring the cities on foot.
