We managed to see a lot in a single day. While we traveled to three cities we felt like we had enough time to enjoy each. This tour was a great introductory to the area and we’re glad we did the tour first. Our guide was very knowledgeable, patient, and he went out of his way to ensure we had a good time. This is our favorite tour so far – and also the most affordable!

The blue grotto was not open on the day of our tour but it didn’t detract from our boat tour experience at all. The day was sunny and the water and stone formations on Capri were beautiful! Our boat captain was really experienced and got very close to the white and green grottoes so that we can taken some gorgeous pictures. Overall a wonderful experience!

An excellent small-group trip around the island of Capri! The tour was about 8 hours, but it was so dynamic that it felt much shorter. Our guides were amazing; we even found time to visit the Blue Grotto. The best way to see most of the island, especially if you have little time.

Amazing experience we had sailing to Capri on this tour. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We received some beer to enjoy and a caprese sandwich which was great. I highly recommend.

One of the most unforgettable amazing day trip from which I made a lot of new friends! Friendly crews and well planed schedule. Highly recommend!
