A great way to see Capri
Great day out, our guide Simona was excellent, friendly and informative. Highlights were the visit to the Blue Grotto and the views from the Anacapri chairlift.

blue grotto is a scam!!°
Your Tour to Blue Grotto is a scam!!! Only upon meeting with your guide we learned that only 30% of the time blue grotto is available!! Never mentioned in all your advertising!!! further more, there are only 30 boats available to take you into the Caves, each cary up to 4 passengers, while according to YOUR GUIDE approximately 20,000 Tourists visit Capri on a daily basis, which means a MAXIMUM OF 960 PEOPLE CAN VISIT THE BLUE GROTTO IN 1 DAY!!!! YOU HAVE BETTER CHANCE OF GETTING HIT BY A LIGHTNING THAN SEEING THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE WATER. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR LYING TO PEOPLE WHO SPENDS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BELIEVING YOUR ADD!!!!!

Island of dreams
A Very well organised tour Capri was lovely and the blue grotto was amazing certainly better than expected after visiting the blue grotto we went up to Anna capri and had lunch all included in the price we then had an hour or so to wander around Anna capri and explore, after which we returned to the port of capri and were able to spend 1/2 hour wandering around the port. All in all a great trip and would certainly recommend it yo anyone.

Great last minute booking option, but grotto may be closed.
Perfect for a last minute arrangement to see the main sights. The grotto was closed that day, so we couldn't see it, but not the tour's doing! The guides met us at the Bar at the docks right on time, and gave us further instructions for each segment. Lunch was included, as was all transportation. Could you do this on your own - quite possibly, but for a day trip, maximizing time and minimizing ambiguity is key to having a great time. Trip ran like clockwork, Sasha, Alyssa and the rest of the guides were all great!

Ok for a large group tour
Ok for a large group tour. Hosts were great but we didn’t get to do blue grotto which we assumed was due to water conditions. We expected to swim which may be an issue from our travel agent but there was no swimming. We did get to do the chair lift in Capri but due to the lines didn’t see anything else. Lunch was not enjoyable- they get you on the drinks so beware! Great hosts though that did the best with what they had.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Capri and the Blue Grotto Day Trip from Sorrento: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Capri and the Blue Grotto Day Trip from Sorrento cost?
+
Prices start at $212 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 the Blue Grotto Day Trip 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 the Blue Grotto Day Trip from Sorrento worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 51 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 the Blue Grotto Day Trip 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 the Blue Grotto Day Trip 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 the Blue Grotto Day Trip from Sorrento?
+
Around 18 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 the Blue Grotto Day Trip 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 Pizza School with Wine and Limoncello Tasting in a Local Farm, Private Amalfi Coast Day Tour from Sorrento or Naples, Sorrento Farm and Food Experience including Olive Oil, Limoncello, Wine 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.
