Beautiful, but disappointing

3.00Overpriced. The crew was very nice and helpful. The circumstances were not their fault. Did not get into the Blue Grotto due to rough seas. The whole reason for booking this excursion was to go into the Blue Grotto. I truly believe the best customer service would be to give a partial refund if the grotto is closed for the day. It was the most disappointing day. It was our 25th wedding anniversary and we paid a lot of money just to go to Capri and spend more money for lunch and a bit of souvenir shopping. Complete waste of a lot of money. I would not recommend this tour.
10 Star experience with Agatha!

5.00We were in Sorrento for one day and had booked this tour. Everyone else bailed due to forecast rain so we had to pay extra for a private tour. It wasn't cheap but worth every penny. Enrico and Pasquale were great fun and shared local knowledge. We got to the Blue Grotto just before if closed for the day (tides) and had a lovely swim chasing fish on the back side of the island. We found the town on Capri a bit underwhelming (a mix of tourist tat and designer bling) but the coast around the island was stunning. Going in October meant no queue for the grotto and a sunset on the way home.
Great, relaxing trip

5.00Flavio was wonderful. He was full of knowledge and was very kind and caring when I got a little sea sick. After, several guided tours, the free 3-4 hour time on Capri was wonderful and relaxing. The island and the homes are beautiful. I rea stroll through the residential neighborhoods. So beautiful! Flavio had Prosecco and fruit for our journey back to Sorrento. It was a great time. Don't forget the Dramamine 😊
Fun boat ride, great guides, and a nice refreshing swim!

5.00We went on this Capri tour in late October. It was nice to have the boat ride and to be able to see along the coast of Capri. Unfortunately, the waves were too rough for anyone to enter the Blue Grotto. The guide (Lucio) was very entertaining. He gave us lots of good information when we got to Capri, which helped us to decide what bus to take to see both Anacapri and Capri town. On the way back the water was quite choppy but still fun. They found a nice cove where the sea was calm and asked if we wanted to swim. I was the only one who wanted to swim - I am glad I did! The water wasn't too cold and I was fine to swim around for 5-10 minutes. After that we were on our way back to Sorrento.
Great day in Capri

5.00Great tour! Flavio was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and did everything to make the group comfortable and handy. He was the boat captain, tour guide, and handling our hospitality entirely solo. He was a one man show and made the tour a great experience. We did everything as stated in the itinerary and it was such an easy, relaxed experience, would do it again!
Great day trip

5.00We left early in the morning, and were able to get to the blue grotto early and only had a 20 minute wait to get in. After, we had a nice boat ride around Capri, which we really enjoyed. Our skipper Flavio was great, answered everyone's questions, provided information about Capri and the sights as we went by, stopped at different locations for photos, and was very friendly.
Great guides, underwhelming island
