Capri Fantastic Half Day Tour
74vincente,Jun 8, 2026

5.00We had a fantastic experience in Capri with a private tour from Viator. Our guide, Lucia, was delightful, with warm hospitality, wide knowledge and excellent English. She communicated with us in advance of our arrival, greeted us at the ferry pier and was very flexible to modify our plans on the fly as needed with the various stops and coordinators on the island. And the tour stops were enjoyable both for my pre-teen children and elderly mother.
Noemi was a very friendly...

4.00Vincenzo was amazing, greatest guide and made us feel like VIPs the whole time. I was disappointed we could not see the grotto or do the chair lift due to high winds, and also our ferry ride was very vomitous. Like half the boat got sick because we were riding a coaster for an hour. Kinda treacherous, but we still had a great time. I feel like Viator should offer a lower price if you don’t get to see the Grotto/or so a boat tour and ride chair lift. We got a museum and gardens which were stunning and as I said no complaints. But still felt like a lot of money for what we did get to do.
Paola was outstanding!...

5.00Paola was outstanding! She was very knowledgeable being a local and the fact that we could jump the line made it so that we could finish seeing everything on the itinerary given it was an extremely busy and crowded island. She knew many things about Capri that she shared with us.
The best tour company I have ever used!

5.00Cristina was absolutely incredible! She was able to cater to each of our individual needs. She was excellent at communicating with us. The drivers and tour guides were absolutely incredible, very knowledgeable about the areas we visited, and the history of the places we went! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!! Thanks for everything, Cristina!

5.00Our group of eight had a private tour of Capri, skipping the Blue Grotto. Cristina at Tours of Capri booked our excursion, inc the ferry ride from Naples to Capri with complete efficiency. Our guide was amazing! Since I have waited 4 mos to write the review, I have forgotten his name, but he lives on the island with his beautiful wife ( we ran into her on our walk) and his young son. He was a wealth of information and a great guide. We took a small van along the Mama Mia Rd and the chairlift to Anacapri. No fault of the tour, but the island lost power for a couple of hours. It actually allowed us to spend time exploring and having a delicious lunch. Would highly recommend this tour. Thank you for an amazing day!
