Highlights
- Marina Grande - Main port of Capri that you will reach from Naples or Sorrento by ferry. Ferry takes 50/60 minutes. (if you already stay in Capri, your tour starts at the lobby and lasts 6 hours instead of 8)
- Blue Grotto - By convertible car or a shuttle bus (depends on your group number) reach The Blue Grotto, as your first stop (weather permitting, otherwise a sharing boat ride tour around the island will be included). The cave will leave you speechless. Lying on board a small boat you will enter inside the entrance of the cave is about one meter high. Its blue water reflects on the rock creating a splendid effect.
- Anacapri - Anacapri is the second stop of this day tour, a more peaceful place than Capri. Here you will also stop for lunch.
- Monte Solaro - From Mount Solaro you can enjoy the most beautiful view of Capri. In Ancapri, get on the chair lift and admire the landscape below with the Gulf of Naples and the Vesuvius in front.
- Piazza Umberto I - Piazza Umberto I is better known as the “Piazzetta”. Sitting at a bar table you can enjoy an aperitif or a good Neapolitan espresso and maybe find yourself sitting next to a celebrity.
- Giardini di Augusto - The Gardens of Augustus are a must to admire the symbol of the island of Capri, the rocks Faragioni. Follow your guide in a walking tour of the Gardens.

Additional Information
Embark on an exciting journey to the beautiful island of Capri via a fast ferry service, where a guide will greet you upon arrival. Traverse the renowned Mamma Mia cliffside road and capture unforgettable images. If the weather allows, you will be transferred into the mesmerizing Blue Grotto, also known as Grotta Azzurra, via a small boat to admire the radiant blue waters. The vast cave can only be accessed by a small boat due to its small entrance. Grab the chance to ride the chairlift from Anacapri to Monte Solaro’s peak for stunning island-wide panoramas. With a bit of luck, you might catch a glimpse of Mt. Vesuvius and Ischia Procida islands far off in the distance.
Subsequently, explore the gorgeous Villa San Michele along with its verdant gardens. While meandering, you’ll discover ancient artefacts tucked amidst the indigenous plant life. Follow this up with a visit to La Piazzetta, a charming square surrounded by boutiques and cafes.
Lastly, tour the magnificent Augustus Gardens, where you can relish breath-taking views. Soak in the sight of Faraglioni, Capri’s famed rock formations, before heading back home.
- Child rate applies only when sharing with 2 paying adults
- If the blue grotto is closed you can do the sharing boat ride all around the island

Perfect Capri Tour - What a delightful day! Our guide, Serina, was amazing. She was quite friendly and knowledgeable. We liked that she gave us time on our own and not talking constantly as some guides tend to do. Just enough interaction. All details were handled expertly.

Perfect day in Capri - Our guide Teresa was amazing! She accommodated our tight schedule with the cruise departure time and managed to fit in everything we wanted! It was the perfect day in Capri, and I highly recommend this. Teresa even walked us to places to have samples and shopping time that we wanted.

Amazing tour guide and tour - We loved Luigi, he met us at the port right on time and we took a ferry over to Capri. We went immediately to the Blue Grotto and didn’t have to wait it line, it was absolutely amazing. After that we drove in a convertible cab and saw the island and Luigi gave us lots of information about the history of Capri. Then the chairlift up to Anacapri with amazing views. Then off to a restaurant on top of the mountain that had the best food I’ve ever eaten and the service was spectacular. Highly recommend this tour, experience but worth the extra money to not have to wait in line and get such wonderful personalized service.

This day tour exceeded our expectations! - Our tour guide and tour were fantastic. Everything was timed perfectly by our guide. And he was even able to get us on a boat tour (extra cost) around the island, which was the icing on the cake! After 6 1/2 weeks in Italy, this was our favorite excursion. Highly recommend!!

Worth it - Phenomenal excursion. Guide Alberto was top notch and made it a very enjoyable day. Saw everything but the Blue Grotto but can see why it’s hard to get into unless perfectly calm day with low water.

Marcella is an absolute gem! - We had a great trip! Marcella went above and beyond to make this a memorable experience for us. We appreciated her ability to navigate the crowds and get us to all of the points of interest with ease. She also worked in a visit to the Blue Grotto despite its limited availability given the waves. Her friendliness and flexibility made this trip for us.

Our Guide lived in Anticapri - Outstanding - This may have been the highlight of our entire Italy trip. There was a mistake on our original booking they had us going out of Naples while we were staying in Sorrento. We called the night before and it was quickly fixed. Our guide was OUTSTANDING. He and his family live in Anticapri. He knew so many locals, arranging private rides and a water tour of the island when the Blue Grotto was closed. We even had lunch at a small restaurant near his house where they treated us like family.

Stick with the group tour - The reason for 3 stars and not 2 is we had perfect weather, our taxi driver was great( open air taxi was so cool) and we able to see the Blue Grotto which is uncertain this time of the year. A couple of downsides, the groups can take a boat to the blue grotto and will get there before the taxi. Wasn't too bad for us but during the busy season I can see it could be a problem with longer lines and wait times. Second , during our afternoon time without the guide her suggestion on a shortcut back ( walking) to the meeting point was not detailed enough and we got lost - which is very easy with the maze of small streets in the town. We missed the ferry we wanted to take back. When parting with our guide we learned she lost another couple and they ended up taking their own ferry back. Our guide laughed at the story however I am sure that couple was not laughing. My advice , save the money in this case and take the group tour.
