- Blue Grotto - By convertible car or a shuttle bus (depends on your group number) reach The Blue Grotto, as your first stop (weather permitting, otherwise a sharing boat ride tour around the island will be included). The cave will leave you speechless. Lying on board a small boat you will enter inside the entrance of the cave is about one meter high. Its blue water reflects on the rock creating a splendid effect.

- Monte Solaro - From Mount Solaro you can enjoy the most beautiful view of Capri. In Ancapri, get on the chair lift and admire the landscape below with the Gulf of Naples and the Vesuvius in front.
- Piazza Umberto I - Piazza Umberto I is better known as the “Piazzetta”. Sitting at a bar table you can enjoy an aperitif or a good Neapolitan espresso and maybe find yourself sitting next to a celebrity.

Travel to the breathtaking island of Capri via a fast ferry (not a private boat) after meeting the guide. Journey along the renowned Mamma Mia cliffside road, where you can capture unforgettable photographs. If the weather allows, you will enter the stunning Blue Grotto, or Grotta Azzurra, by small boat to admire the luminous blue waters. This large cavern is accessible only by small boat through a narrow entrance. Take the chairlift from Anacapri to the summit of Monte Solaro to enjoy spectacular views of the entire island. With some luck, you might spot Mt. Vesuvius and the islands of Ischia and Procida on the horizon.
Afterwards, explore the enchanting Villa San Michele and its lush gardens. As you wander, you will discover ancient artifacts nestled among the flora and fauna. Continue your visit at La Piazzetta, a charming square lined with boutiques and cafes.
Finally, explore the magnificent Augustus Gardens, where you can take in breathtaking views of the Faraglioni, Capri’s famous rock formations, before beginning your return journey.
- Child rate applies only when sharing with 2 paying adults
- If the blue grotto is closed you can do the sharing boat ride all around the island

Great day trip from Sorrento - Excellent day trip from Sorrento and Marcella was amazing! So much to do and well worth it to have a private tour! Antonio was a super driver for us and overall it was a 10/10!

Love Capri! - Our 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!

A Great Tour of Capri with Vincenzo - Vincenzo was great. He met us at the ferry ticket station and guided my wife and me on a great tour of the Isle of Capri. We first went to the harbor where we grabbed a boat to the Blue Grotto. Seeing this icon was wonderful. We then went via a convertible taxi to Anacapri and took the chairlift to the mountain top where we enjoyed the best views. We came down and walked through the center of Anacapri and then headed to Capri for lunch at a great restaurant overnight the harbor. We did some sightseeing and eventually went back. The whole tour was great!

Amazing tour of Capri - If 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.

"The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" - Usurping 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!! - Our 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.

The Island is... - The Island is mesmerising, as are all the views that come along. However, a private experience should have been a bit more private, and the guide along should have explained more. Rest, the Island was amazing!
