⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The BEST way to experience Capri & Anacapri — ask for Fran! We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this tour, and especially about our incredible guide, Fran! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and taken care of. Her communication was perfect. She was so knowledgeable, kind, organized, and somehow always one step ahead. Her timing was absolutely incredible and really helped us make the MOST of our day! We were the FIRST people in line for the Blue Grotto, which was amazing! We couldn’t believe how long the line became shortly after we arrived. The Blue Grotto itself was such a beautiful and historic experience. We were a little nervous that our 4- and 6-year-old daughters might be afraid, but they LOVED it — as soon as we came out, they said they wanted to do it again! Fran then recommended the chairlift in Anacapri, and we are SO glad she did. There was no line when we arrived, and the pure joy on our girls’ faces riding up was something we’ll never forget. The views from the top were absolutely incredible! And once again, Fran’s timing was perfect because when we came back down, the line was huge. Even the little things meant so much — she carried our big backpack and helped get everything set up in a locker so we could just enjoy the experience with our girls. She recommended an amazing restaurant for lunch that was reasonably priced and SO good. Then when we headed into Capri, she walked us to her favorite gelato shop (also SO good!) and even took us to a shaded little park/playground where our girls could play and get a break from the heat. Fran also helped us get tickets for a mini cruise around the island, and this ended up being another highlight of the day! We got to see the incredible rock formations and caves up close while learning more about the history of the island. It was also the PERFECT escape from the heat. Our girls loved looking for fish in the crystal-clear water and feeling the breeze from the boat. Our youngest was so comfortable that she actually fell asleep — it ended up being the perfect little nap while we cruised around Capri! 😂💙 It was an incredibly hot day, and Fran even shared her umbrella to help keep our girls shaded. That really sums up the entire experience — she genuinely wanted to make sure our family was comfortable, happy, and getting the absolute most out of our time. We truly felt so cared for. She also gave us so many helpful and honest recommendations for the rest of our trip, which we really appreciated. The tour was small and intimate, which we loved, and the overall length felt just right. We had enough time to see and experience SO much of Capri and Anacapri without the day feeling overly long or exhausting, especially traveling with two young children. We never felt like we were just being shuffled from one place to another — the entire day felt relaxed, personal, and incredibly well planned. Capri and Anacapri are absolutely beautiful, but Fran is what made this day so special for our family. She took what could have easily been a stressful day of navigating a busy island in the August heat with two little kids and made it feel easy and FUN. If you are considering this tour, DO IT — and ask for Fran! We would recommend her and this experience over and over again. One of our absolute favorite days in Italy! 🇮🇹💙
Dear Traveler, What an extraordinary, heartwarming review! Reading this brought the biggest smiles to our entire team. First on line at the Blue Grotto and zero wait for the Anacapri chairlift? That is the absolute gold standard for a Capri day, and it takes an absolute master of logistics to pull off! Fran is going to be deeply moved when she reads your beautiful words. Her dedication goes so far beyond being a guide! Hearing that your 4- and 6-year-old daughters went from being a little nervous to wanting to do the Blue Grotto all over again (and even catching a cozy nap on the coastal mini cruise!) is proof of how special and relaxed she made the atmosphere. Navigating Capri in peak summer heat with young children can easily feel overwhelming, so knowing that Fran turned it into one of your absolute favorite days in Italy is the highest compliment we could ever receive. Thank you so much for trusting IAMME IA! Gray Line with your family’s vacation memories. We hope to welcome you all back for another magical adventure when the girls are a little older! Best regards, The IAMME IA! Gray Line Team

Thank you for choosing to explore Capri, Anacapri, and the Blue Grotto with our team, and we hope to welcome you back for another fantastic tour in the future! Best regards, The IAMME IA! Gray Line Team
Truly enjoyable experience. Great tour guide which made the day extra fun. Would highly recommend.
Very good, although disappointed not to be able to visit Blue Grotto (beyond operator’s control), but good boat tour of island instead.
We spent the day with sweet Mariluisa. She was knowledgeable of the island, helpful, friendly and intuitive to our interests. Her suggestions for meals and activities were perfect. My daughter and I enjoyed memorable experience on the chair lift to Annacapri which was so peaceful and beautiful. She suggested a boat ride around the island to experience the island as a whole and I’m glad we chose that instead of the Blue Grotto experience. I highly recommend Marialuisa as a private guide!
Dear Traveler, Thank you so much for the wonderful review and high recommendation of Marialuisa! We are absolutely thrilled that you and your daughter had such a memorable and special day together. Marialuisa will be so touched by your kind words! It sounds like her recommendations were spot on! The chairlift to Anacapri offers such a peaceful, breathtaking perspective of the island, and opting for the complete boat ride around Capri is a fantastic alternative that truly allows you to take in all the dramatic cliffs and hidden grottos at your own pace. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope these beautiful mother-daughter memories last a lifetime! Best regards, The IAMME IA! Gray Line Team
Lia is a fantastic guide. She is informative, organised and very helpful.
A truly comprehensive tour of Capri with lovely commentary and history from Lia.
Excellent trip. Nello is phenomenal. He helped everyone get from the boat to the Blue Grotto in record time. Great insight and recommendations.
