Beautiful Experience with One Small Suggestion

This private boat tour in Capri was absolutely worth it! It was the perfect way to escape the crowds, and the scenery was breathtaking. Mr. Constanzo was very friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the history and highlights of the island throughout the tour (in Italian). He kindly let us start our tour 15 minutes early and later offered us the option to extend our trip by 30 minutes for an additional 50€, which we happily accepted. The only suggestion I have is that it would have been helpful if the extension option had been mentioned earlier in the tour. We would have chosen to spend more time swimming in the caves instead of using the extra 30 minutes swimming in a fairly average area near the end of the route, surrounded by anchored boats. One tip for future visitors: although tipping is not common in most parts of Europe, the captain did ask for a tip at the end of the tour. So, it’s a good idea to bring some cash with you to avoid having to find an ATM and pay withdrawal fees. The listing should also mention that tipping is going to be asked or required because we didn’t know that.

Absolutely Must!

Fantastic private boat ride around the whole island! Turn out to be the last excursion of our vacation, but also one of the best we went on. The captain was great and informative of what we were seeing. Drinking Prosecco on a private tour is the way to go!

Great day, great trip!

Great day, great trip! Tour was great from beginning to end. They easily found us at the meet up location, took us a short walk away to the boat, and saw us off. Our tour guide/boat operator was welcoming, explained our trip in advance, and was amazing at maneuvering the boat while out on the water.

Private boat tour

We took a private two-hour boat tour with Ciro, which proved to be the perfect duration for our visit, as we preferred not to wait in line for the Blue Grotto. The meeting point was clearly indicated and easy to locate with the directions provided. We were fortunate to have excellent weather and calm sea conditions throughout the excursion. For those who are prone to motion sickness, I would recommend taking Dramamine beforehand to ensure a comfortable experience. Our skipper, Ciro, was highly professional, knowledgeable, and skillful in navigating the boat, allowing us to get close to key landmarks and enjoy the beautiful coastal views. Overall, it was a seamless and thoroughly enjoyable experience that I would highly recommend.
