    No guide provided

    We were met by whom we thought would be our guide, Magdelena, who got us into the boat to the island, although she did not count to see that everyone was there., after being signed in. We were then taken to the Blue Grotto, without a guide, and were required to pay the 18 Euro entrance fee. Back at the port, Magdelena told us which bus to get to Anacapri, Capri, and back to the port. We had NO GUIDE with us. Magdalena left us as we boarded the bus for Anacapri. When we arrived at our meeting spot to return to Sorrento, we had to go to the tour office and she was not yet there. I complained to the office people that we had to pay for the Blue Grotto; thankfully we were reimbursed for that on our way back to Sorrento( by Magdalene), who met us in the line for the boat. I am going to ask Viator to reimburse us for having no guide, and no transportation to the Augustus Gardens. We were sorely disappointed. I have been on about 5 previous Viators in Europe, and all were excellent until this.

    Response from the operator: Hi Carol, We are sorry if our services didn't reach your expectations, unfortunately the Blue Grotto is a national museum so if it closes or not doesen't depend on us, however the payment of the entrance fee is listed in the informations of the tour. We stive everyday to improve to make the days spent with us memorable in a fun and relaxing way, we hope to see you on board with us again! -best regards, Desireé

    Spectacular

    Thanks to Martina our guide to get onto the boat for the blue grotto as we went out there first. Although there was a wait we were pleased to view as many others we understand could not due to tidal and weather conditions. The rest of the tour of Anacapri was fulfilled by a trip up the gondola-what spectacular scenery🥰 the tour was rushed but a full day -thanks

    Response from the operator: Hi Coral, thank you for the review and for the words well spent, we are sorry about the issue of the blue cave even if despite me, since it is the most popular attraction, it was a bit to be expected. we will wait for you for a new adventure and try to visit the blue cave. see you soon Jerry

    Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.

    How much does Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento cost?

    +

    Prices start at $171 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sorrento usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sorrento is not rushed.

    Is Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sorrento can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sorrento and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sorrento within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sorrento?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sorrento experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine tasting, Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Authentic Farm Tour with Pizza, Cheese, Wine & Limoncello Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sorrento?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sorrento?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento?

    +

    Included: Tour leader on board; Authorized guide for the visit of Capri and Anacapri; Transfer by semiprivate minibus on the island; Entrance Ticket to the Blue Grotto; and Round trip Boat Ticket to Capri. Not included: Landing tax fee, Island of Capri. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Capri and Anacapri Guided Tour with Blue Grotto from Sorrento?
