Great tour of Capri, Anacapri and the Blue Grotto - Alessandro was a great guide. He spent so much time explaining things to us and helping us find different ways to explore Capri that might satisfy every need. He kept calling us "his family" and as many hours as he spent with us, we felt like it. He new the right time to go to the blue grotto and the chair lift in Anicapri when there were fewer crowds. It was well worth the price for the experience we had.

Blue Grotto, Capri and Anacapri - Fabulous day with our guide Mario. Well organised from Sorrento to see Anacapri and Capri, both beautiful and well worth a visit. Highlight was The Blue Grotto, which we were lucky to see, due to the sea conditions.

If you want a complete tour of Capris- take this trip! - One of the most memorable trips of our Italian vacation! The trip was very well organized and Luigi, our guide, was fantastic! His English was excellent, which was only outdone by his in-depth knowledge of Capri/Annacapris history! The boat rides were fun and interesting despite the BlueGrotto being closed due to rough conditions. Instead, our Captain toured us around the entire island, viewing all the Grottos up close while Luigi gave us a history of the island and which famous people lived where! Equal amounts of planned and unplanned time. Loved going up the chairlift and having a cappuccino on top! Funicolare down to Capris beach… such a fun day. Worth the cost!

Blue Grotto is a must see!! - My Sister-in-Law and I booked this tour with Mario as our tour guide. 77 degrees and sunny. It was a beautiful day. The Blue Grotto in Anacapri was fantastic to see at least once! We also took the chair lift to the top of the mountain to see the city below in 360 degrees. We chose to go to the beach instead of shop, but the public beach is very rocky and not desirable to swim. Instead, we enjoyed Lemon Spritz and Granita. Definitely recommend the Granita. Mario was an excellent tour guide with great recommendations. We would definitely recommend this tour!! Thank you for the great photos and memories! Elaine & Sue

Capri and Blue grotto from Sorento - Had a great Capri and the Blue Grotto full day tour with Mario.
Everything was set up promptly and slick. Mario was very informative and kind. We're able to see the grotto, ana Capri, chairlift, gardens, Capri in a day.

Unmissable tour. The services provided are very worthwhile. - Our guide, Mario, very courteous and helpful. We have difficulties with the English language but he made it a lot easier with his slow speech! Everything worked perfectly! Everything very agile. Certainly if we had tried to go by our own means, we would have been able to do everything too, but certainly with a lot of discomfort and wasted time. I highly recommend Mario and the company.

It was ok - This review is for someone like me who has never been to Capri and didn’t know what to expect. The ferry picked us up at the port of Sorrento and took us to Capri. Right away we headed to the Blue Grotto in a small bus. I was very excited, only to learn that the Blue Grotto was closed. It is decided upon whether or not it will be open for the day, every morning. It is not always opened every day. This was unfortunate because this tour implied we would be able to go. In fact, admission was included in the tour price. So, we paid to enter the Blue Grotto, but were unable to enter. Because we couldn’t enter the grotto, we were offered to go to Monte Solaro Chair Lift. This was not included and we had to pay extra for this admission. It was a beautiful view. After we were driven back down and left to wander around by ourselves for 2 hours until we got back into a boat for a tour around the island. I didn’t get to see a lot of the things on the island I wish I would have and the restaurants I wanted to try were opposite end of where we were dropped off at to wander. I would rather have taken a ferry and explored the island at my own timeline.

Extremely overpriced experience. Don’t book! - Although Capri is nice to see, don’t book it with these tours. The expectations of the tour and the real experience was underwhelming to say the least. A lovely tour guide however glorified taxi organiser who dropped us off in the 2 towns for 3 hours and finished by using another service to do a boat tour. Buy your own individual ferry tickets to get to Capri and book a small boat tour. We were expecting a smaller group size as advertised but our group just joined other groups on large ferries to get around. Half the group ended up ditching the tour and spending the afternoon at the beach. So overrated and the worst value for money experience on our 3-week trip to Italy.
