Can highly recommend this guided tour of Capri
My husband and I did this tour and can highly recommend it. Marcella was our excellent guide - friendly, knowledgable and attentive. Her priority was for us to see the Blue Grotto and maximise our experience of the island. Having the shuttle buses to bring us around the island was a great timesaver. The Grotto was closed when we arrived so Marcella brought us straight to the chairlift in Anacapri to avoid any long queue. This was not included in the price and cost €15 each. We then had some free time in Anacapri before heading to the Blue Grotto, again beating a long queue. Tips are expected by the boatmen, generally €5/€10. The Grotto is stunning but you literally only spend 2/3 minutes in there. There are many steps down to the Grotto and you need to be able to lie back in the boat to enter through the narrow opening, so not suitable for those with mobility issues. Any time we were on the bus, Marcella told us lots of interesting facts about the island. To finish we had some free time in Capri where Marcella recommended places to go and somewhere to eat. A really enjoyable day

Amazing time
Amazing experience on this trip. Marcella our guide was full of joy and made the day so smooth. We went directly to the blue grotto first and only waited maybe 10 minutes. Then we did Anacapri and Capri. After Marcella arranged a private boat alongside the coast of the island which was incredible. Wonderful excursion!

Beware!!
The tour company was wonderful and did everything as expected. The Blue Grotto may not be for you if it's a hot day or if you're at all claustrophobic. The goal was to be one of the 1st groups in line so there wouldn't be a long wait. We learned that often the Blue Grotto doesn't open until later after long lines have formed. Because it didn't open at 9 when our group would have gotten there, we saw Anacapri 1st which was beautiful. When the grotto opened around 11 our group was taken to the line and we waited in blazing hot sun with very little shade for 3 hours. The line moved very little and we were told it could have been worse. I was unaware that we would have to lie down in the small boats in order to get into the grotto since the opening is so low. Once in the cave it was very small with waves crashing in. Anyone with space issues may have a hard time. When it was time to leave the grotto we had to wait for the other boats coming in. Only one boat at a time could pass through and going against the waves with boats coming in was stressful. Yes it was beautiful, but overall not enjoyable. Had the line and the hot sun not been a factor the experience would have been much different. For 10 minutes in the water it wasn't worth the money.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found our tour company wonderful and that everything we could control was handled as expected. However, we would like to clarify a few important points regarding your experience with the Blue Grotto, as some aspects of your review may give future guests an inaccurate impression of what is included in the tour and what is beyond our control. The Blue Grotto is a natural and protected site, and its access is regulated by the local authorities. Due to the extremely low entrance, visitors must transfer to small authorized rowboats and lie down briefly to enter the grotto. Only one boat can enter at a time. These are the standard conditions for visiting the Blue Grotto and are not procedures established by or controlled by our company. This information is also clearly explained in our tour description, together with pictures of the Blue Grotto and the boats. We also do not decide when the Blue Grotto opens. Its accessibility depends on the sea and weather conditions and is determined by the local authorities for safety reasons. Therefore, if the grotto is closed in the morning and opens later, we unfortunately have no control over this. Our guide simply adapts the itinerary according to the official opening. Regarding the three-hour wait, we understand that waiting under the sun was unpleasant. However, once the Blue Grotto opened, the queue and waiting time were determined by the number of visitors and the official access system, which we cannot control. We completely understand that the experience may not have been enjoyable for you personally, particularly if you are uncomfortable with confined spaces or waiting in the heat. However, these are characteristics and operating conditions of the Blue Grotto itself rather than issues with the tour service we provide. We are sorry that the experience did not meet your personal expectations, but we hope this clarification helps future travelers understand exactly what visiting the Blue Grotto involves and why some aspects of the experience cannot be controlled by the tour operator. Kind regards, Alessandra

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group Tour from Sorrento to Blue Grotto, Anacapri and Capri: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sorrento.
How much does Small Group Tour from Sorrento to Blue Grotto, Anacapri and Capri cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 Small Group Tour from Sorrento to Blue Grotto, Anacapri and Capri 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 Small Group Tour from Sorrento to Blue Grotto, Anacapri and Capri worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 278 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Sorrento, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group Tour from Sorrento to Blue Grotto, Anacapri and Capri?
+
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 Small Group Tour from Sorrento to Blue Grotto, Anacapri and Capri 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 Small Group Tour from Sorrento to Blue Grotto, Anacapri and Capri?
+
Around 97 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 Small Group Tour from Sorrento to Blue Grotto, Anacapri and Capri 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.
