What a horrible experience, first the y take you on a boat tour you hardly understand their language after swimming for half an hour the sea was very choppy and currents they didn’t care for our safety. After the drop you in the Island of capri without a guide just with a map and in top of all we had to pay $60 euros to ride in a bus from both island ridiculous. I don’t recommend this company is a rip off so unprofessional and also rude personal.
Lovely weather, fun sights, Italian music on the boat and a cheerful welcoming tour guide Anastasia!
Easy to book and great tour and well worth it
It’s rather quiet here in winter. Despite theres only me and my mom for the day trip on the day, Nello companied us all along and recommended a great route for us to walk around in our free time. The boat rides were fantastic, really couldn’t think of a better way to learn about the island in a short frame of time!
All was worth it, but due to sea level or other business reasons the Blue Grotto was closed. And souvenir stores closed on the island as well.
It was me, my husband and our 4 year old and it was the perfect outing. It kept our son’s attention the entire time. The boat tour was great! The views were fantastic and our tour guide Gaetano was fabulous!
The experience was great and the duration was perfect. The guide was great however it feel like coordination and not guided tour
We had a beautiful day sailing to Capri with Michele our guide he was attentive knowledgeable friendly and very caring my husband has heart & breathing problems and Michele took the time to come to us making sure he was ok at different stages of our trip thank you so much for making our day so enjoyable ☀️😀👍💯.. we would definitely recommend the chair lift it's fantastic with breath taking views dont miss it !!.
We had a great trip to Capri organised for us by HP Travel. We picked the blue grotto option and it was definitely worth it. First we got the boat to Capri from Sorrento and then we went on another boat to the blue grotto. It only took an hour with the early tour. After this we went back to capri and we decided to go to Anacapri and do the chair lift which we had a few hours to do and get food. Then at 13:30 we had the boat tour around the island which was really nice to see the island from the sea. Then after this we went back to Capri and transferred to another boat which brought us back to Sorrento. It was an amazing day out!
This is a chaotic disorganized trip. You will be packed onto a ferry at the beginning of the trip, the shifted to another huge boat for the blue grotto, where you must wait for all the 100+ passengers to do the the blue grotto and then another packed boat around the island and back to the ferry to go back. We only had 1.5 hours in capri, not a half day so it is also false advertising. With 1.5 hours you cannot do anything. They kept forgetting to give us tickets and the ferry owners wouldn’t let us on the boat, so they would go get tickets and we would be left without seats. The entire thing was just such a mess, go with a smaller operator.
Goodmorning from Hp Travel We thank you for sharing your experience and are sorry that the tour seemed disorganized to you. The Blue Grotto is unfortunately linked to waiting times that depend on the number of boats present and the weather and conditions, we are sorry if that caused a long wait but unfortunatelly such timelines are not up to us, but we understand that they can be frustrating We would like to point out that the term "half day" refers to the total length of stay on the island of Capri which includes the Blue grotto visit since that is one of the most important sites to visit on the island. Unfortunatelly if the waiting time ad the blue grotto is too long you will have less time to explore the island. We understand that you did not have enough time and we will work to make sure that does not happen again. We apologise if there was a problem with the tickets, one of our goals is to make sure everything goes smooth so we are sure that what happen was a misunderstanding but thank to your feedback we will investigate more to understand what happen We hope that despite the chaos you was able to enjoy the beauty of the island and we hope to see her again on one of our tours to give you the best experience possible Kindly Anna
