    It’s a great tour, non stop it was the best day of our trip. Luigi was the tour guy and made us feel like family, so much fun.

    Great time in Capri

    Had a wonderful tour of Capri a lot of information unfortunately the blue grotto was closed so we had a boat ride around the island which was a great alternative.. our only suggestion would be that they give better directions for where to meet the guy. We got to the ferry terminal area, which is a very large location. Our guide communicated with us via WhatsApp in order to find us.

    Enjoyable despite the heat and humidity

    The early morning tour reduces the stress of lineups for the blue grotto and other activities. Anacapri was not as busy with tourists as Capriamd was a better experience for us

    Perfect Day at Capri Island!

    Michael was awesome! Smart and showed his passion for the tourists and country! He is the third generation to be a tour guide! We hit all of the main spots and he was very attentive! Loved him! Thakuou!

    The perfect way to experience Capri and Anacapri

    We were a small group and left early to get a jump on the crowds! We were blessed with a blue grotto moment first thing in the morning and had a 3 minute wait on the stairs to jump into the rowboat. We hustled back up to Anacapri to float onto the chairlift and had just a 15 minute wait there. Luigi kept us on a loose schedule that gave us plenty of time to explore and ended with an extra boat tour around the island to check out a few nooks and crannies. It was a perfect day! Not having to worry about, or stand in line for the public ferry and beating the crowd was fantastic!

    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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    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?

    +
