Capri & Anacapri: Blue Grotto or Boat Ride Options

We had an amazing day with our guide Marisa. We took the hydrofoil from Naples to Capri and then a small private bus from Capri to Anacapri and took the chairlift to the top! Super fun and a little scary! Enjoyed the views at the top. Came back down and did some shopping. We then took the small bus back to Capri. Get some amazing Caprese sandwiches, boarded a wooden boat and explored the waters around the island. The seas were a little rough. We didn’t wait the line for the blue grotto. Enjoyed the delicious sandwiches. Next swam in the sea. It was our daughter’s 16 yr birthday and Marisa lit a special candle and brought some champagne for us to celebrate! Wonderful day!!

Dear Paola, What an absolute PLEASURE to meet you today! You are bright, beautiful, and so kind! We were so lucky to have our paths cross. We LOVED your informative tour, and with our questioning, loved hearing about your family. Thank you so much for sending the pictures. PLEASE come to the United States, either New York or Chicago...we will NEVER forget you! (And thanks as well for taking care of us during the seasickness). Everything's good now, and back to normal. Love, Paolo and Steven. P.S. Your attention to detail, and knowledge of Capri was "next-level"! You made our day in Capri enjoyable, showing us all the highlights, and pointing out restaurants. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!

This was our first time to this part of Italy. I read about the crowds in Capri. We decided to take a fully escorted tour so we could leave the hustle and bustle to someone else. From the first moment we met the guide we knew we were in good hands. The day went flawlessly. We saw and did everything we wanted to do. And! Saw so much more than we would have seen if we were on our own. The guide understands the traffic patterns and crowd flows and was able to steer around it when possible. We were far more efficient and more nimble with a guide than we could have been on our own. A narrated boat ride around Capri with a chance to swim. Delightful (and they provide towels). Can you do it on your own? Of course But why bother.

Our family, Mom, Dad and 3 Adult children booked this tour off of a friend’s positive experience. It was everything we hoped for and more. Paolino was our bubbly, knowledgeable and prompt guide. We did not want or need anything on this trip. Very Relaxing and educational. From the first time we reached out to the company to the end everyone was very communicative and nice. Loved it!!!

Paola was FANTASTIC! Truly the best tour guide and tour we have ever taken. She was so educated, extremely on time and everything went so smoothly. She was very genuine and made our tour the best it possibly could be! As for the tour, it was absolutely stunning and very well planned, we can not recommend this enough- 10/10! All of the recommendations were terrific and the sights were breathtaking. THANK YOU!!

Had a fantastic day on this tour - made some great memories . Our guide Paola was brilliant - was so friendly and made us feel very comfortable and knew so much about the Island . She gave us options so we could decide how to get the best out of the day and all her recommendations were excellent ! Was much nicer being in a smaller group. Definitely recommend !

We took the private Capri boat and island tour from Positano. Our guide was Patty and she was amazing! She met us in Positano to take us to Capri on the ferry. She purchased the tickets and held onto our return ferry tickets to ensure we didn’t lose them. She asked if anyone had problems with sea sickness, which some did, so she took us to the pharmacy to purchase gum that helps with the sickness (it worked perfectly!) She also adjusted our tour schedule because the captain said the seas would be rougher in the afternoon. We started with an approximately 2 hour boat tour of the island which included swimming if people wanted to stop. Prior to the tour we were asked if we wats to book lunch or purchase sandwiches from a deli on the island. We choose sandwiches to maximize our time on the tour and I highly recommend this choice. Patty ordered the sandwiches while we’re on the boat so we could quickly pick them up and continue with the tour. The next stop was the land tour starting in Anacapri. We had the choice of staying in the town, going on the chair lift or visiting the villa. We had a group of 11 and everyone had the option to do whichever they preferred. The final stop was in Capri and we had ample time there as well. Overall, there is nothing that could have been improved with our experience and I cannot say enough good things about our guide Patty and her extensive knowledge of the entire area!

We had a wonderful day with Chiara. She was terrific. She was patient and totally flexible, willing to do what we wanted. She knew the best places for pictures and was a pro in getting the transportation we needed to get where we wanted to go. She also made sure we got our lunch in record time. I would highly recommend her to anyone securing this trip. We really enjoyed the tour, we just wished we had more time. Thanks again for helping us make this happen - it was a perfect day.

We toured Capri with Mondo tours and guide Paula. The tour included ferry from Sorrento to Capri, taxis around the island to see Anacapri and Capri, the Monte Solaro Chair lift, and a boat tour. While there, we could tailor the tour as we desired and also chose to shop and tour Villa San Michele. We loved the beauty and quiet of Villa San Michele. The boat tour around the island was so much fun! It was quiet, peaceful, and the water was so clear and just right for swimming. Paula was a fantastic tour guide: personable, knowledgeable, and patient (travelling with family we weren't always sure ahead of time exactly how to proceed and she helped us work through it). Mondo tours did a great job prepping a Capri trip. I really enjoyed what they did, but as far as Capri goes, it is beautiful but be ready for a lot of people.

What an amazing and personalized experience with our guide, Paola !! She was incredibly friendly, ensured that our tour was catered to our exact desires, and was very knowledgeable about the entire island of Capri. (She also took fabulous pics for my wife and I.) I would highly recommend that you try and personally ask for Paola whenever visiting Capri !!
