Small Group Boat Tour of Capri

Outstanding Tour and Phenomenal Tour Guide

The Capri Tour with Blue Grotto access was amazing! Unfortunately, the Blue Grotto was closed due to sea conditions. But the added island boat tour in place of the Blue Grotto experience was breathtaking. Our tour guide was Nello and we can’t say enough great things about him!!! He was funny, courteous, knowledgeable and looked out for everyone in our group. If he makes suggestions, by all means listen and follow his suggestions. The chair lift is a must do and the free time to explore is plentiful. Highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Sorrento!!

Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thank you for such a glowing review! We are thrilled that you had an amazing time, even with the Blue Grotto being closed. Nature can be unpredictable, but we’re so glad the alternative boat tour around the island was breathtaking for you. Nello is indeed a star—his humor and expertise make every trip special. We’re happy you followed his tips on the chairlift; the view from the top is unbeatable! We appreciate the high recommendation for fellow travelers in Sorrento. Kind regards, IAMME IA!

Great way to visit Capri

My husband and I book this trlp after our hotel in Sorrento recommended This company. Everything about the boat ride/ tour with Federico as our captain was great. The group we traveled with was friendly and pleasant and Capri is so beautiful. Our ride picked us up on time. The only negative was that the drop off point was about 1/4 mile walk from the elevator down to the pier. This was not an easy walk. The street was busy, narrow and winding. Was not mentioned in ad but not good for anyone with a mobility issue. Once downstairs at the pier it took at least half an hour for eveyone to get checked in and then divided into groups. Once with our smaller group and on our way it was smooth sailing!

Beautiful scenery, boat very basic

This tour was a very interesting thing to do. The tour team were helpful and accommodating. My husband and I did leave the group of 30 on the island because we prefer to research in advance and follow our own agenda. It worked out fine to rejoin the group for the circumnavigation of the island and its amazing geography and geology. Not to be missed. The boat was very basic, mostly open. If trying to sit in shade on a 90 degree plus day, you're forced to look through unclear salt damaged windows. Our boat did NOT resemble the one this picture. Would have paid more for better boat.

Poorly organized and unaccomodating, likely fake reviews

We booked a 4 person tour of Capri by boat with my wife and our parents. TL;DR - The trip was poorly organized (they left us behind after dropoff) and they refused a refund when my father in-law was sick even after they sold his sport to another ground. Full version: We enjoyed the natural beauty of the Capri Isle well enough and the captain was great. My biggest problem is with Travel Etc the company itself and how they handled the organization and their conduct with customers. 1) Don't expect any flexibility on your booking even if they end up selling your spot. We booked 4 spots on a 12 person boat tour. My father in-law became ill the morning of and we ended up being 3 people on the tour. We requested a refund but completely understood when they said they had already booked his spot on the boat and had to turn other customers away, so no refund was possible. That was fine with us. You can imagine our surprise when we found out our boat would have 9 other people onboard making it 12 people or the maximum allowed. They clearly was able to sell his spot last minute and receive compensation for the lost revenue. 2). The trip was poorly organized. After getting off at Piano Sorrento ( beware the trip does not depart from Sorrento ad advertised another warning sign of questionable business practice) there was no one to direct the group we ended up wandering around and having to call the main office to figure out where to go. They lost track of other passengers as well. 3). Expect a 2 hour wait for the bus pickup. In order to safe money on the buses they pack hem full to the brim before taking off. We waited almost 2 hours before the bus left for. 15 min drive back to Sorrento. I would not recommend anyone from booking through Travel Etc. The area is beautiful and your much much better off going with a smaller your operator. I have a feeling a lot of the 5 star reviews here are fake as we saw several other groups having similar issues with other tours that this company runs after. Justin

Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, thank you for leaving your feedback. As you can see there isn' t any fake review... it would be impossible for us to write so many reviews by ourselves! According to our cancellation policy you can cancel till 24 hours to get the full refund. The fact that you were with 9 people on board doen' t necessairily mean that we sold your spot, but it can happen that we split passengers differently on each boat before departing to Capri. We did not mention that the departure is from the port of Sorrento, but we will sail along the Sorrento Coast.. can you imagine departing from the port of Sorrento in the morning ? The jets, the hydrofoils, the private bigger boats... the choice to leave from a smaller port in Piano di Sorrento is above all for safety and organization reasons. We asked to wite us an email to solve your issue, and we renew our invitation; our direct email address is activites@traveletc.it We remain at disposal. Best regards, Graziana
