Blue Grotto Experience and Walking

Ben there done that

Domenico our guide was friendly and informative. There was some confusion in the beginning and lots of down time sitting around. We did not get to see the Blue Grotto experience, rather a bout tour around the island which was nice. We found Capri to be crowded and very expensive. Been there done it! Save yourself some time and money and just take the ferry on your own and walk around .

The blue grotto part was...

The blue grotto part was cancelled due to rough sea conditions which we anticipated and understand. Our disappointment came from the start of the trip. We started on Capri with a meeting time of 10:30. Didn’t see anyone there and started communicating through the app about where to meet. They provided the cell of the guide. Called and no answer. Just as we were ready to call it off, our guide arrived as he just got off the ferry with others from Naples. He then proceeded to say it was time for a bathroom break and to get a drink if you wanted. He wanted everyone back by 11:00. We did not get on the bus to Anacapri until 11:18. Wish I had been told to meet at 11:00 or 11:15 instead of 10:30, such a huge waste of time as we arrived at 10:15 to be sure we were on time. The only reason for the 2 star is because of such a great local guide. If you’re staying in Capri, I definitely do not recommend this excursion. Part of the trip was waking around Capri for an hour, which if you’re staying in Capri you’ve already done. Since the blue grotto was closed, our guide had us go on the boat tour to see the other attractions which was the best part of the trip.

Response from the operator: Dear Chester, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we are sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Capri is a beautiful destination, but it can also be quite challenging to manage, especially on days when many cruise passengers arrive and the island becomes extremely crowded. We would like to clarify that our guide arrived at the port of Capri at 10:30, which was the scheduled meeting time. Before that, it was not possible to answer phone calls because the mobile signal is not available during the ferry crossing. Once disembarked, the guide gave about 20 minutes of free time to the group, not due to disorganization, but because on very busy days the local bus company assigns vehicles only after a mandatory waiting period. We understand that this may have caused some frustration and we sincerely apologize. Unfortunately, the closure of the Blue Grotto due to rough sea conditions is beyond our control, but we always try to offer valid alternatives, such as the boat tour, which – we are glad to hear – was the highlight of your day. Your comments will help us improve communication about these logistical challenges and make the experience as smooth as possible for future guests. Kind regards ENJOY CAPRI TOUR

Greatest Experience of my life

Capri is gorgeous! Our tour guide Fabrizio was fantastic and showed us all the historical sites and beautiful landscape of capri. The blue grotto was beyond words. What an amazing experience I recommend you do it if you are in the area.

Didn’t see the Blue grotto but still happy

I booked the Blue Grotto experience in Capri leaving from Naples. The meeting site was at Bar Picnic 8:30am we were there a little earlier but by 8:30 there was no sign of a tour group and the later it got I actually started asking random tour guides if they were our tour group. Finally Fabrizio showed up with the rest of the tour group so that was a relief but I wish there was better communication instead of making me afraid I missed our tour or got the meeting spot wrong. But once all that was settled Fabrizio was in high gear and took care of all of us with no problem. He made sure we had clear instructions on where to sit in the ferry so we can get off the quickest and get a bus, there were so many people due to cruise ships coming in. We didn’t wait long at all for a bus that took us to Anacapri. He gave us the history and current events of the island of Capri which was very nice. We did not get a chance to see the Blue Grotto due to the long waiting time. We took a boat along the coast of Capri around the island, it was just so beautiful and the best way to end the day. I really can’t say it was better than blue grotto but it was well worth the money and longer than the 5-10 minute blue grotto experience. Overall the experience was great and my 7 year old had a blast from the jet ferry to the chairlift to the boat ride it was all a good time.

Exceptional Tour Guides

We were booked with enjoycapritoirs and had the pleasure of being shown beautiful Capri by Fabriezo & Dominico. They were exceptional in every way, managing several large groups, their knowledge, speaking multiple languages & their charm! Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate to allow us in the blue grotto - but we were instead able to go into several other and better grottos without long waits or needing to transfer to a smaller boat to get inside (as with the blue grotto). Dominico knew how disappointed I was about the blue grotto being closed but assured me I would have if not the same - but better - experience in one of the grottos we WERE able to get into that day. He did not disappoint!! Moral of the review is, don’t be so hung up on the blue grotto - there’s others that are as beautiful and more comfortable & convenient to see!
