What a fun day trip. Even though the weather wasn’t great, the team made the experience so much fun. They were highly knowledgeable of what to do in capri and I would recommend the blue buses which will show u the island in full.

Great boat tour to Capri

TED_N, Apr 2024

Fun boat tour from Sorrento to Capri. Amazing views. Great van pick up and boat staff. Friendly group of travelers. The return trip to Sorrento we encountered high 3 foot swells and so it was very choppy and windy.

Just ok.

John_S, Apr 2024

The boat trip was great with Captain Roberto and Super Mario. The showed us a lot of points of interest as we navigated around Capri. We didn’t swim due to the cold weather on the day. The Island itself is fairly basic, and expensive. Having to pay €10 per person before leaving Harbour for some fee I cat remember, and then €25 per person for the “optional” bus ticket for travel around the island and good but expensive lunch just made an already expensive journey more expensive.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Dear John_S, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We really apologizes to read your words, first because we really believe in the beauty of Capri and we don’t think it’s just a "basic island". Than the 10 € extra as the itinerary is for the docking fee, mooring services, landing fee that any travellers have to pay when arrives on the island. The extra service of € 25,00 isn't a service organize from our agency, but is just a suggestions that the skippers give you for don't lose time on the island. We value your opinion regarding the tour and we see it as an opportunity to learn and improve. Rosa from Amo Italy Travel Reservations Dept & Customer Care

Great Boat Tour

Spencer_S, Jan 2024

A lemoncello tasting at the end of the boat ride made the day. This tour was fantastic. The island views, the suggestions of how to spend our time in Capri, swimming in the sea, jumping off of the boat, kissing under the stone arches to "That's Amore", and very charismatic guides. My wife and I loved this experience.

Best way to see Capri

Andy_H, Oct 2023

We had the time of our lives! Best way to see Capri! The tour goes around the island to see all the amazing views, then stops for some swimming before docking on Capri where they help ensure you have all the tips and tricks to see everything on the island.

Capri was beautiful

Christine_F, Oct 2023

We had a great skipper for our tour of Capri. We visited the white grotto, green grotto, and saw the Faraglioni. I do wish we were better prepared for the climb to Capri center. Not for the faint of heart, and the food/drink prices were also more than anticipated. We did enjoy the lemon sorbet before hailing a taxi back to the port.

A little cramped

Sandra_D, Oct 2023

The tour guide was very nice. The boat, not so much. It was small and just enough seats for 9 of us. It would have been really cramped if there were 12. It was beautiful on the water.

Wonderful anniversary celebration!!

Allyson_G, Oct 2023

We visited Capri for our 30th wedding anniversary. Mary and Johnny were delightful! They surprised us with champagne on the return trip to Sorrento. Johnny piloted the boat expertly, and Mary was full of fantastic information about Capri and how to best enjoy the island. This was the highlight of our 11-day journey in Italy! Don't miss it!

Great boat day trip to Capri!

Capri

James_S, Oct 2023

The boat trip and Monte Solaro. Our boat crew was great. They were friendly and took care of us. Our chairlift up Monte Solaro was wonderful and we chose to hike down instead of taking the chairlift. All was magnificent.

First trip to Italy

Flor_A, Oct 2023

Capri was beautiful. You get to explore the island on land and on the boat around the coast. When arriving on the island, If you are in decent shape and don’t mind some excercise, I recommend walking up to the center. It is tiring but worth it. You will waste at least an hour waiting for a taxi, bus or the train. Don’t waste your time, just walk the steps. Lastly, our guide, Fernando, was amazing. Very personable and entertaining.

Not worth the money

Emily_S, Sep 2023

Unfortunately this felt to us as expensive day for what we received and would probably not recommend to others. This was more like a glorified water taxi/ferry. There was no swimming spots. There was no guide until after Capri. The boat picked us up and dropped us at Capri port (no word as to which direction - so more like just a transfer service). The boat also seemed to have some technical issues with thick black smoke blowing out of the engines. The guide did join later but unfortunately would have been more beneficial for the arch and other parts of the excursion before Capri. We did get soft drinks but had to ask for these in the last part of the trip. Whilst the tour was not necessarily paid - it’s just over priced and should be considered a taxi/transfer instead

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Emily_S, we deeply apologize if the tour to Capri Island did not reach your expectations. It's sad to hear that our organized service is diminished and compared to little more than the ferry, we offered an excellent and studied service, with a professional and informed crew to make your day as full as possible. We do not allow your words to diminish our work. Rosa from Amo Italy Travel Reservations Dept & Customer Care

Beautiful but busy island

Anita_M, Sep 2023

My sister getting drowned by the sea spray on the way back from the island as the wind had got up. Capri was very busy.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Dear Anita_M, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We don’t know what you mean " sea spray", the safety of our customers is our priority. Capri is busy because there are many turists like you who what to discover it, if you prefer the desert island you have to come in another period, but then you’re sure it’s so beautiful too?
