Capri

Kelly Salvatore, 23 October 2025

Wonderful guides. Great day!

Outstanding Tour!

Timothy Wege, 20 October 2025

Pepe and Francisco were great! Blue Grotto was closed, but they made up for it by taking us to other areas. They were fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and everything you would want from your tour guide.

A Lovely Day spinkled with alot of Disppointment

Sandra Chamberlain, 10 October 2025

We booked this tour & paid the extra specifically to experience the Blue Grotto. It was a beautiful warm sunny day with calm seas. Approaching the Blue grotto the Captain said it would be an hours wait to enter as there was a boat in front of us waiting to go in & strongly suggested we stop on our return. All passengers stated adamantly we had booked for this reason & providing we would be stopping later that it would be ok. After we were all dropped off in Capri our boat then returns on two more occassions to pick up others from the port & needless to say our trip back left later than expected & when we finally arrived near the Blue Grotto the staff there were finishing up for the day. To make up for this we were taken to a swimming spot. Although beautiful we did not take this tour nor pay for a swim which by the way not everyone does. It was very disappointing because I believe the Captain was keeping to his own timetable & not in servicing the paying customer.

Francesco and Pepe were the best!

Suzanne Zahn, 05 October 2025

My son and I loved this full day to Capri. The two tour guides, Francesco and Pepe, were amazing and made the day that much more fun! Everyone had a great time. We had 8 people and were a mix of ages but Francesco and Pepe, made everyone have a great day. Blue Grotto was closed for the day but we swam through the Green Grotto which was amazing and later had other opportunities to swim. My only complaint was we were told numerous times by The Tour Guy to meet at 8:15 and we received a call at 730 am telling us we were late! We made it somehow and I’m glad we did but a little annoying at the time. Would definitely book again and just confirm numerous times the meeting time!

Boat ride was great

Gary Lamm, 28 September 2025

We were picked up at our place at 7:30 and taken to the dock area. We had to walk a bit and take an elevator due to some road construction. Marco our captain was the best he took straight to capri to beat the crowd. Take the $20 bus ride to the chair lift and go up as soon as you can. View from the top is worth the $14 per person. Capri itself is very crowded, expensive and touristy. We go back onto the boat at 1:30. He provided some sandwiches and plenty of drinks. Went swimming and visited all the grottos skipped the blue one due to the 1-1/2 hr wait. We had a great time and made some friends with the other groups aboard. You must do this tour to see capri’s best points
