We had a fabulous time! The weather was perfect! Our tour guide was Luigi. He was knowledgable, personable, humorous and very easy on the eyes!!

Luigi the GOAT
Our least sunny day on the Sorrento peninsula turned out to be one of our best. The tour began from the Marina Piccola, on a high-speed boat to Capri. Our tour guide, Luigi, was a seasoned professional and navigated Capri to maximize our ability to enjoy the tour. In fact, though it threatened to rain, Luigi got us into the Blue Grottoand up the Anacapri chair lift by expertly timing the sequence of our tour. The Grotto was awesome, as was the view from the highest point on the island, above Anacapri. We had plenty of time to get a taste of the island, as well as time for a sit down lunch and drinks in Marina Grande. All in all, an excellent tour.

Wonderful experience
Wonderful day spent seeing the blue grotto, chairlift in Anacapri, and boat tour around the island of Capri. Thankfully the blue grotto was open the day we went. Have tip money ready as the boat operators ask for tips. Highly recommend the chairlift in Anacapri - beautiful views. Goes slow and there are helpers to get you on and off the lift safely. We opted to take a boat cruise around the island of Capri which I highly recommend - 25€ per person and totally worth the 1 hour ride. Luigi was our guide and he was excellent. Got on an early ferry out of Sorrento and we were able to beat the rush at the blue grotto.

Great
We had a great day in Capri Unfortunately we didn't get to see the blue gatto because of bad wind. Our tour guide arrange a boat trip around the island. I will definitely recommend that tour.

Our guide, Teresa did a fantastic job. She provided historical details on the cities. She got us everywhere in a timely manner. We were able to see the Blue Grotto, go on the ski lift to the top of the island and a boat tour around the island. Plus, we had enough time to shop in both Capri and Anacapri. I highly recommend this tour and Teresa our guide.

+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional".

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?
+
