★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,511 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $131

“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…”

We opted in for the lunch in Ravello which was delicious.”

“Not worth the money. We did another tour 5/5. This one was a very expensive boat ride to capri. We took the ferry back for $19 each... the van ride was all over the place picking people up. 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.”
