Itinerary
Your magical journey begins at Molo Beverello, the bustling port in Naples. Here, you’ll meet your knowledgeable local guide who will assist with boarding a shared fast ferry to Capri. The ferry ride offers breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples, with the iconic silhouette of Mount Vesuvius as your backdrop. The trip to Capri takes about 50 minutes, giving you just enough time to soak in the excitement of the day ahead.
As the ferry docks at Marina Grande, Capri’s main port, you’ll be greeted by the island’s stunning cliffs and vibrant colors. From here, you'll hop onto a comfortable shuttle bus to begin your exploration of this enchanting island. The bus ride will take you along the famous "Mamma Mia Road," known for its dramatic curves and breathtaking views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Your first stop is one of Capri's most famous attractions, the Blue Grotto. If the sea conditions are favorable, you’ll have the chance to enter this magical sea cave, where sunlight creates an ethereal blue glow on the water. Small rowing boats take you inside the grotto, where the experience is both surreal and unforgettable. If the sea is too rough for the grotto, don’t worry—you’ll instead enjoy a shared boat tour around the island, exploring other spectacular coastal landmarks.
Next, the tour heads to Anacapri, a quieter and more relaxed part of the island. After your exploration of the local shops and the area, it’s time to indulge in some local flavors. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of Anacapri’s charming eateries. Savor authentic Italian cuisine, with fresh seafood, handmade pasta, and other regional specialties on offer.
Soar above the island on a scenic chairlift ride to Mount Solaro, the highest point on Capri. The panoramic views from the top are simply breathtaking, offering a 360-degree vista of the island, the sea, and the distant mainland.
Post-lunch, the tour continues to the lively town of Capri. Here, you’ll visit La Piazzetta, the famous main square, often referred to as the "Living Room of the World." This bustling square is surrounded by chic cafes and boutique shops, making it the perfect spot for people-watching or enjoying a coffee.
A short walk from La Piazzetta leads you to the Augustus Gardens, a beautifully manicured park offering stunning views of the Faraglioni rock formations and the winding Via Krupp. The gardens are a serene escape where you can stroll among the vibrant flowers and enjoy the breathtaking vistas.
After exploring Capri Town and the Augustus Gardens, the tour heads back to Marina Grande. Here, you’ll have a bit of free time to wander the marina, perhaps pick up a souvenir, or simply relax by the water’s edge.
As the day draws to a close, you’ll board the fast ferry for a scenic return journey to Naples. Reflect on the day’s adventures as you sail back to the mainland, bringing with you unforgettable memories of the enchanting island of Capri.

My guide Tiziana, was absolutely the best. She got us to the front of the queue every time, so there was minimal waiting time and maximum enjoyment. It was a stunning day out, especially the Blue Grotto. There was time for shopping, for good food and fun as well. A wonderful day!
We had an absolutely wonderful experience exploring Capri, Anacapri, and the breathtaking Blue Grotto, made even more special by our exceptional guide, Giorgio. From seamlessly managing the day’s logistics to sharing fascinating insights about the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems, Giorgio ensured that every moment was enjoyable and stress-free. His professionalism, warmth, local knowledge, and attention to detail transformed a beautiful destination into an unforgettable experience. Navigating Capri during peak tourist season is no easy task, but Giorgio handled everything effortlessly, allowing us to focus on soaking in the stunning views, charming streets, and magical waters of the Blue Grotto. A big thank you, Giorgio, for your energy, patience, and passion for what you do. You truly made our visit to Capri a highlight of our Italy trip. Highly recommended for anyone planning to visit Capri and Anacapri!
Excellent tour of Capri. Giorgio was very knowledgeable so told many interesting details about the island. A very beautiful and historic place.
The trip to Capri was a wonderful experience! Thanks to Tiziana , everything was organized quickly, so we had virtually no waiting times. Through her nice nature she had quickly created a great atmosphere in our group. She not only organized everything perfectly, but gave us the necessary information about everything in perfect English. No question remained unanswered. Everything was fine from start to finish. Fortunately, Capri wasn't so overflowing that day.
This small group tour of Capri was brilliantly organised so that we missed the crowds & had time to visit the grotto, ride the chairlift, visit Ana Capri & Capri towns as well as the boat ride around the island. Our guide Luigi was extremely well organised, enthusiastic & fun & made sure his 'family' got the most out of the day. Highly recommend this tour to get the most out of a Capri visit.
Our guide, Tiziana, was fantastic, and Capri is a must-see if you are visiting Naples! She was informative, well-organized, and shared all the important details while being extremely friendly. We highly recommend this tour to visit the island, as everything is very well planned and the logistics, which are not easy, are taken care of for you.
Our guide Marcella was fantastic, he made the day fun, well-organized, and flexible. The destinations were perfect, and I highly recommend taking the chairlift to the top for incredible views! Unfortunately, the Blue Grotto was closed due to weather, but the boat ride around the island more than made up for it and was a highlight of the day. Overall, it was a great experience and a truly memorable day!
What a wonderful day we had with our guide Tiziana in Capri! She was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and attentive throughout the entire tour. Tiziana shared fascinating stories about the island, guided us through the best viewpoints, and made everything feel easy and enjoyable. Her recommendations for food, shopping, and local experiences were spot on, and thanks to her we felt like we were exploring Capri with a true friend. The boat tour, Anacapri, Capri Town, every moment was memorable. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended!
We had a lovely day in Capri with our guide Giorgio. We visited in November, so it was off-season, and we were lucky enough to enjoy a perfectly warm day and to find the Blue Grotto open. As a local from the island, Giorgio was an amazing guide, funny, knowledgeable, and polite. He’s the best guide we’ve had so far on our Italian trip. Highly recommend this tour and Giorgio!
We were maximally lucky with this tour, much thanks to our guide, Michelle. The weather and the sea were perfect, and he got loosened us quickly off the boat to Capri, so we avoided the queue at the blue cave. Afterwards there was chair lift to the top and lunch at Anacapri. Then it drove down to Capri to check the atmosphere. We actually got time for an extra boat trip partly around Capri. Overall, an unforgettable day.
