“This is the perfect activity to see the best of Capri and get a sense of the island. Everything was very smooth with the booking and arrival. The boat tour company was excellent - friendly and informative but didn’t talk the whole time. We sat on the top and got tons of amazing photos. (Sit on the right side for the best views!) We did the tour our first afternoon, which helped us identify other must-do activities. (Don’t miss walking to the Arco Naturale — it’s incredible by land and we had the place to ourselves on an October Sunday morning.) The blue grotto was closed for our entire trip,…”

“We were 2 couples spending 10 days in Sorrento. This was a great day with a fabulous boat trip to Capri with our great captain, Antonio at the helm. We got there quite early before the crowds. We took the individual cable cars up to Anacapri and was quite relaxed. There were some little artisan shops to look around and some bars to have a snack and a drink. The only downside to this visit to Capri was that we didn’t have time to visit Capri town as well. We then took the boat to the Blue Grotto sea cave. It was busy and we waited for around 90 minutes…”

The wait at the dock was almost an hour. The boat ride was nice and the staff were great. This just comes down to value... once in Capri you are on your own anyway so just take the ferry and save a lot of money.”
