Beautiful and fun!

Nice tour of Capri Island. Seeing the Blue Grotto was a magical touch on a lovely day! Beautiful vistas all around and great shopping!

Capri, AnaCapri Tour 2024

Mario_S, Apr 2024

The tour was great in all aspects by Mickelle (spelling?) of Capri, AnaCapri, and what a breathtaking ride from the boat ride although as a family we're expecting to go to the Blue Grotto which ended up with Plan B which is a-ok anyhow. Great trip and what a funny captain of the ship we had and his skill to work the boat was exceptional and talk while he's explaining the details of the rock formations, kudos to him.

Experience of a lifetime

Patty_H, Apr 2024

Our guide was fantastic and very strategic about our tour. We moved ahead of the crowds. We got to the Blue Grotto early and had NO wait. The sailor who rowed our boat sang in the grotto--an incredibly beautiful moment! We had a delicious pasta lunch in Anacapri. Our guide serenaded us on the bus. Such a memorable experience!

Absolute paradise ruined by the feeling of being ripped off

MARTIN_H, Apr 2024

I had booked this tour on Valentines for my wife and wanted it to be perfect, I picked the small group max 8 people tour, with Jet-foil transfer and Blue Grotto experience. £380 for two of us. This did not include hotel pick up so we paid 25 euros to get to the meeting point on time only to wait in a crowd for the Capri ferry, for around 40 minutes (photo 1). Luigi our guide was excellent, informative and we were given stickers for his tour along with a similar number of guests, that would have a different guide. Approx 30 people in total. We proceeded to board the normal ferry which didn't feel special at all. The Blue Grotto is a cave where the low entrance creates a stunning blue water effect. The 'sailors' who row you into the cave, burst into song and the whole experience lasts for around 10 minutes. Luigi informs us that 5 euros is the normal tip but we don't have to pay, of course we all do, Life is hard for the sailors as Capri is expensive. mmm. We then went to Anacapri to the Monte Solare chairlift which is exhilarating and takes you to the summit and 360 degree view of the whole area. We were very fortunate that it was a perfect sunny and clear day and the views were breathtaking. 14 Euros each and another Euro to visit the loo, but well worth it. Luigi had given us 2 hours to explore on our own , so we returned to Anacapri and wandered around the shopping area. Luigi then offered us the treat of a small boat trip around the island. There were around 15 people on the boat. But for this pleasure, Luigi asked us for a further 25 Euros each. We all had a further hour in Capri and then onto the boat with Simply stunning scenery and an informative guide to the various caves. Back to the port and around a half an hour to catch the ferry back to Sorrento. Capri is a very beautiful Island, and we were very fortunate to visit on a perfect weather day. My review is based on the feeling that throughout the day from the start I felt the tour operator and Viator misled what was included, the same tour was booked by others in the group for over £100 less. I would not recommend this booking route in the future.

Capri at its best!

Darrell_Z, Mar 2024

This tour was fabulous and Marcella was so much fun! She made the experience great! Highly recommend this tour.

10/10

Paula_G, Jan 2024

We had an amazing time, our tour guide Alberto was amazing!!! He even sang to us, it was beautiful!!

A MUST do if you want to see Capri!

Amelia_S, Dec 2023

What a wonderful day exploring Capri!! It’s such a beautiful island with a relaxed vibe. We loved Anacapri and the funicular ride to the top, the views are breathtakingly spectacular!! The boat ride around the island was also lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed wandering Capri and the gardens too - we will definitely go back!! Fantastic tour!

Great trip with wonderful experience and service

Gautam_M, Dec 2023

We had a great enjoyable trip from Sorrento to Capri and our guide Georgio made it very comfortable for us. He is a native of the island and gave us good details and background. We could not visit the blue grotto due to bad sea conditions which we knew is a hit or miss even during peak summer months. However, the boat tour around the island instead was enjoyable as well. Then we were taken to Anacapri and Capri tours and it was great as well. Highly recommend the chair lift was you can get wonderful views getting up there. It can get a bit chilly up there in the winter months, so dress appropriately. Most shops were closed in Capri due to winters but recommended visiting the local perfume brand shop Carthusia. Also our guide in Sorrento, Marcella, who set us up for the boat ride to Capri was great and provided us tips on the ride and Capri that were helpful.

The Example All Others Should Follow

Gracie_G, Nov 2023

Alberto was an exceptional tour guide. Capri was stunning (of course) but this guide MADE the trip. He was clear with instructions, itineraries, meeting points but it was his personal touches that made me come back and write this review nearly a month later. I have since been on 3 tours in other Italian cities and all other tour guides have fallen short by comparison. A great tour guide is the difference between visiting a city and EXPERIENCING a city. And Alberto is knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and engaging. Needless to say, Capri was an incredible experience. Book this tour and any other he offers. Thank me later.

Capri is beautiful & the your is perfect.

MinhLy_N, Nov 2023

We have Alberto is our guide. He’s great & the tour is perfect. We have time together when he explains the history of Capri & recommended things for us to do. All meetings & excursion is well executed! **we couldn’t go inside the blue grotto because the wave was insanely rough but they sub us the water boat ride visiting all other grottos—white, green & blue. *hope you get Alberto but I’m sure they all good.

Amalfi coast line tour

David_Z, Nov 2023

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about every region in the Amalfi coast that we visited. He was kind enough to stop at various points during the trip so that we can take pictures of the coastline

Excellent tour with amazing guide!

Genevieve_K, Oct 2023

We had a great time on this tour! Alberto our guide was amazing! He was so nice and sang for us. He made sure we had options while on the island and took lots of pictures!

I highly recommend!!!

Ginger_F, Oct 2023

This trip was absolutely fabulous. The beautiful weather helped in that we were able to see the Blue Grotto this time. All the bus drivers were so nice. But, what made the trip the best was our guide, Luigi. He was personable, funny, knowledgeable - simply amazing and one of the best guides we've ever had! He far exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend this company!

Good tour, Grotto shakey

Vincent_T, Oct 2023

Alberto great guide, Anacapri nice, only negative is we where lucky enough Blue Grotto open (seems closed much more than open) but you leave the comfort of the tour and we caught a whacky row boat driver who was yelling and cursing at other boats. This was no fault of the tour as everyone had to switch to these other boats and quite random who you get but it's a bit nerve racking enough getting into the grotto and he made it worse.

Do this tour!!

Cindy_H, Oct 2023

Alberto our guide was fabulous and not only showed us the beautiful water and Island of Capri but sang for us as he is an opera singer.

Fantastic experience

Emma_R, Oct 2023

This tour was well worth the expense. We were so lucky to have a glorious day to explore the Island. Our tour guide Alberto was fantastic and made our tour that extra special. He knows how it all runs and did everything in his power to get the most out of the day. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour:

A great day at Capri (with guide Alberto)

Gijsbertus_K, Oct 2023

The trip was excellent. The highlight was the Blue Grotto. Our guide Alberto played a big part in the lovely day we had. He is a very sympathetic person giving each person attention. He suggested to our group to do a boat trip and everyone joined in. The boat trip was also great.

Amazing way to see Capri, and Capri is a MUST SEE!

Jonathan_L, Oct 2023

We loved this trip. As a tour guide over 20yrs ago in a previous live life, I was especially impressed with Alberto’s organization. Everything moved along seemlessly. His recommendations for restaurants and places to go were outstanding. His connections allowing us to skip lines and getting to destinations what felt like just ahead of the crowds was priceless. The Blue Grotto was beautiful and we were fortunate to be able to go inside. Our favorite part was the chairlift to the top of the island above Anacapri. It was simply stunning at the top and one of the most amazing views I’ve seen before. We topped it all off with an extra boat tour around the island, seeing all the spots we’d seen from the peak! (This was extra, but well worth it for 22 euros each). Alberto knew we were on a cruise and had to be back at a certain time to board, so planned to let us know if we needed to take the earlier ferry home and skip that extra boat ride, but he communicates with the cruise tour guides too and knew that 300 other passengers who were on tours through the cruise lines would be on the same ferry as us, so we got the green light to add this to the experience. Brilliant! As an added bonus, Alberto is a wonderful Opera singer and he treated us to a bit of a show during our grotto sailing! I’d highly recommend this tour to others.

Loved going through the...

Robert_F, Oct 2023

Loved going through the grotto! Tour guide was great. Got many beautiful pictures. Capri and Anacapri were beautiful.

Fun day out with amazing views from the top of Anacapri

Sarah_H, Oct 2023

Marcella was our guide and she was fun, enthusiastic and informative. We loved Anacapri and marcella recommended a restaurant where we had a fabulous lunch. We enjoyed going up the chairlift and seeing the view. Capri was ok, a bit too crowded for my taste. unfortunately the blue grotto was closed due to the choppy sea, so we took a ferry round the island which was very relaxing and marcella kept us entertained.
