Perfect day in Capri - Marcella was fabulous. We were able to not only quickly see the blue grotto first because she was so knowledgeable about the island, but she also arranged for us to have a boat tour of the island because we had so much time left. The entire tour was perfect!

Great tour with Giorgio! - Giorgio was a fantastic tour guide. As a Capri local, he was enthusiastic, organized, and incredibly friendly. He provided us with excellent information about all the areas we visited and went above and beyond to ensure we visited the Blue Grotto in a timely manner. His local insights truly enriched our experience.

Loved this small group tour of Capri! - Loved this small group tour of Capri! Our guide, Giorgio, a Capri local, added a special touch to the experience with his kindness and genuine care for everyone in the group. Thank you for this unforgettable day!
The Blue Grotto was the main reason we booked this tour, and we were lucky enough that it was open. It was a wonderful experience. However, we actually preferred the boat tour around the island that we did at the end of the tour. Since there was still time left, Giorgio arranged it for us (he mentioned that this boat tour is offered when the Blue Grotto is closed), and we highly recommend doing it!

Capri is lovley - blue grotto is just part of it - weather permitting - our guide Giorgio was lovely, we did not experience the blue grotto and our guide explained as to why, this is weather permitting, so if you do want to do the blue grotto you may need to go back a few times to get calm weather, you cannot predict mother nature. Anacapri is a lovely part of the trip with an optional chairlift ride to the top for spectacular views, recommend.

Fun times with tour guide, great arrangements - Tour guide (Alberto) was funny, pleasant and helpful. From Capri to Blue Grotto, he somehow managed to get us (about 12 people) a bigger boat so it was awesome! Would recommend this tour to everyone!

Thank you, Alessandra, for making our Capri dream come true! - We booked this tour during our stay in Sorrento since Capri was on our bucket list, and we’re so glad we did! Alessandra was our guide, and she was fantastic.
From the scenic ferry ride to the early arrival at the Blue Grotto, everything was perfectly organized. Alessandra's knowledge of Capri's history and culture was impressive, and she shared fascinating stories and insights throughout the day.
This tour exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Alessandra, for making our Capri dream come true!

Not worth the money - The "jetfoil" transfer is a public ferry that you can pick up yourself.
The funicular ride didn't happen.
After paying way over the odds for something you could've put together yourself for a fraction of the cost, you're then encouraged to fork out again for a boat tour of the island.
Quite disappointing overall after paying +£300 for the pair of us.

Grotto was pretty but tour company was underwhelming - We were on the Odyssey of the Seas. This was by far the most expensive excursion between our stops at different ports. All of them with w exception of this was a blast. The Blue Grotto was very cool to see. I was not to down with being shaken down for a 10$ per head tip. I generally tip 25% for good service. The was let known by the guy taken us through the Grotto it was expected.
The tour guide was a very nice lady. We don’t understand why she took us to lunch in the middle of Naples at a very common restaurant when we could had lunch overlooking the beautiful views of the sea or island. She would drop us off in shopping areas and say please be back at this time. The money you pay is for the Grotto and a bus pass. Very disappointed in this port. I would recommend going to see the Grotto’s via water taxi. You won’t have to stand in a long line and you out at sea waiting for them to pick you up. We didn’t even get the opportunity to do the chair lift.

Not worth it - Blue Grotto… was a neat experience however with 4 adults crammed in 1 side of boat it was actual quit painful and hard to breath with 3 bodies crammed on top of you.
Would have like to have option to eat at the many places available on 2nd stop rather than being sent in to loud and ok restaurant picked by guide on 1st.
Lots of time wasted on waiting for buses, couldn’t see landmarks guide pointed out being in the center of crammed mini bus
Never was taken to chair lift experience.
Barely made it back to ship due to guide getting everyone on late ferry.
This was our most expensive excursion planned all vacation and only one we didn’t like.
