Amazing tour of Capri

5.00If I could give this tour 10 stars I would. Our guide Vincenzo was born and raised outside of Napoli and lived on Capri for a few years. It seems like he knows half the island. More importantly he knows where to go when to avoid the queues as much as possible. He even knew short cuts down less crowded streets that only local use. We took an early ferry and he had a taxi waiting for us. We immediately booked to Anacapri and road the chair lift to the top. It was still quiet and peaceful at the top. When we left the top of the mountain the tour groups were beginning to arrive. He navigated us to all the best spots for pictures and lunch was at a local family restaurant (and amazing). Can’t recommend enough. Arrived back in Napoli around 5:30pm.
A beautiful day

"The Good, The Bad and The Ugly"

5.00Usurping an old (like me) movie title following is my review. "The Good": Our guide was excellent. She was personable, knowledgeable, energetic. flexible and gets 5-Stars and 10.0 from me. "The Bad": Even in early October Capri was absolutely slammed (very crowded), as I refused to wait 60-90 minutes for a 45 second adventure we did not get to experience The Blue Grotto and this is information that I would have liked to have known beforehand. "The Ugly": Viator (this experience anyhow) is extremely overpriced. Knowing what I now know I could have booked a competent private guide for 1/2 - 1/3 of the price. That said I must reiterate "The Good" and add this anecdote: By the time that it became apparent to us that TBG was out and in that moment I asked my Viator guide to get on the phone and find a private boat and captain to take my son and I (and her) on a 360° tour of the entire island. Noting that she was unsure whether this was possible she continued in her effort at making that happen as we toured the Isle and she was successful. While I spent an additional pretty penny on this adventure it proved to be a highlight of our 11 day vacation. That said and reiterating "The Ugly", had I known then I could have booked a guide and a boat / captain and still spent less. Regardless and as stated my guide was wonderful and with Viator's help (in securing an 11th hour unscheduled water tour) we had an amazing experience. I suppose the take away is this: If you either know from experience or are willing to expend the time, effort and energy then you can save yourself some money by not booking via Viator (or any other agency); however, if you do use Viator then it's my experience that your experience will work out very well.
Simply amazing in every way!!

5.00Our beautiful guide, Lucia, was the best. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and warm. Capri is beautiful, and the Blue Grotto was worth the somewhat long wait to get inside the cave. I highly recommend the tour, and request Lucia if you can.
Bravo
