Very enjoyable experience. Giorgio was extremely knowledgeable and likable. Very good English language skills. He went out of his way to adjust our tour to accommodate our mobility issues (we are in our mid-70s). Highly recommend this tour … ask for Giorgio.

Terrific experience! Massimo took very good care of us during the trip. He was very attentive to my mother-in-law's accessibility needs. Best way to see Capri. Not a single minute wasted.
Vincenzo was an incredible experienced guide providing a detailed and informative tour. We spent very little time in line and made the most of our time in beautiful Capri.
What a great experience! Wonderful tour guide - I believe her name is Teresa. She was very in-depth with the culture of each place we visited. This was a day trip to Capri and Blue Grotto from Naples and Sorrento. The scenery was absolutely beautiful! Activity included on and off sites; first stop was walking down to the water where you are greeted with small boats to board with one boat-man to guide you into a cave. Once in all the boat-men sing italian songs so you can hear it echoing in the cave, plus it's rather dark but they turn there lights on...beautiful. If you don't like tight quarters, this is not for you. Great experience though! Then on to small towns of Capri. Last one, our tour guide asked if we wanted to go on a boat ride for $25 per person more...well of course, we all did! It was fabulous! Beautiful emerald green and blue waters, famous lovers arch out in the sea and cave the boat-man pulled into so we could see live coral! Great trip!!
Our private tour didn’t feel like private at all, definitely doesn’t worse the money we paid for. We are seniors and choose private, because wanted it more relaxing. But instead we were basically running after our guide Carmella. The only good thing was, that we got to the blue grotto fast. It was interesting experience, but in a small boat I was on the top of another couple and couldn’t move or see much. The boat rider was chanting “tips, tips, tips…” We were out of the grotto in less than 5 minutes. Then Carmella got a taxi and we went to Anacapri. On the chair lift we went to Mount Solaro. The views are beautiful. Carmella took a quick pictures of us. Then, 10 minutes running through the shops in Anacapri, even I told Carmella I am not a shopper. Other people write about villa-museum San Michele. We didn’t see it. We didn’t have lunch in some small unique restaurant. We didn’t have lunch at all! We went to Capri by taxi. Carmella navigated us through the very crowded streets and main square, took us to Nino shop to spend some money. Then we went to the garden of Augustus. The garden is very small, but views are spectacular. Our tour was so rushed, that we felt so exhausted and wanted just seat on the bench in the garden. The tour was over. Very disappointed…
Tour was amazing can’t remember my tour guides name she was amazing and so knowledgeable about everything.
This tour of Capri was one of the highlights of our three weeks in Italy. Our tour guide - who lives on the island - was fantastic. He made the day even more memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Italy. The Blue Gratto was amazing.
This tour is packed with activities and we were able to explore Capri in a fun and relaxing way. The Blue Grotto is amazing and well worth the effort! Our guide Annamarie is very knowledgeable and patient and easy to work with. She worked magic and got us to Blue Grotto before the line started to get long and saved us a lot of wait time. She took us to all the amazing view points and gave very good suggestions. We are very satisfied with her.
Lucia Nillo is the best tour guide we have ever had. The tour, the information, the flexibility and constant smile was the highlight of our trip! Capri is a gem. The Blue Grotto is mesmerizing.
Our guide for the day, Paola, met us at the Marina Grande dock where our Positano ferry arrived in Capri for a personal tour for my partner and I. From the time we arrived to the time we departed on our return ferry, we were whisked to all the sites in Capri, Anacapri, and culminating at the Blue Grotto. It was so crowded with visitors on the island and lines everywhere for the different sites. The Blue Grotto was closed in the morning due to higher tides which we were going to do first, so instead of waiting in line for possibly two hours, she changed plans and took us on the funicular thru Capri’s square and to the beautiful gardens and paths of Giardini di Augusto, then in a convertible with awning for a drive up the steep road to Anacapri boasting views of the coastline to take the single chairlifts round trip to the top for more breathtaking views. We had lunch in a cute restaurant in Anacapri before cabbing over to the Blue Grotto. The line was long, but Paola briefly disappeared and directed us to pass so many waiting visitors to catch a row boat to enter the Blue Grotto, a wonderful viewing experience. Coming back out of the entrance, she was on a tour cruise boat to take us by water back to Marina Grande to catch an earlier ferry back instead of backtracking by windy roads to the docks.. All in all, our day trip was seamless and very educational. Thank you Paola for a memorable day which we will never forget!!!
Absolutely stunning! Out tour guide Theresa was the best… very knowledgeable, patient and friendly!! Highly recommend.
Luigi was very good. He seemed to know everyone and we skipped all the lines. Even gave us tips what to do off the island.
Serena made our day go so smoothly! She thought of everything ahead of time and was very knowledgeable and made great suggestions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to spend a day on Capri
Annamaria was great! The Blue Grotto was closed so we did a boat tour around the island instead and even that tour guide was great. So much history to be learned. The tour moved quickly but you can modify if a slower beat is needed.
This was not as advertised and I want my money back. They said boat tour and there was no boat tour.
Wonderful tour of Capri and Anacapri. Our tour guide Gabby was very knowledgeable of the island and it’s history. Everything was very well planned and with tickets purchased in advance to some of the attractions we were able to “skip the lines”. We saw a lot in one day. A lot of it we wouldn’t have known to look for such as the gardens and perfume factory.
We booked a private tour which I completely recommend. Let's start with our guide Paola. She was amazing! She was standing right by the ramp when we got off the ferry so we didn't have to wait or look for her which was so great because it was our first time on Capri. Paolo lives on Capri and has her whole life so she knows the island and all the boat operators. We skipped all the lines including the Blue Gratto which was awesome because they were so long and we would have been waiting half the day in just that line! From there we took a convertable taxi to AnaCapri and went on a chair lift to the top for an amazing view. Ate lunch at one of Paolos favorite local restaurants. We didnt have to wait or have a reservation. We shopped, rode the cable car down to Capri. She showed us all around the town and the gardens. When it was time to get on the ferry back to Positano she got our tickets printed out for us and made sure we knew where and what time to be at the ferry. Paolo knew soo much history of everything we did and saw on the island. It was an amazing experience. Thanks so much Paolo!!!
Just the way it was organised we did not waste anytime knew exactly where we were going if u have only a day to spend in Caori I would highly recommend this tour
Capri is gorgeous, a must see. Alberto was knowledgeable and made this experience worth the price. He was able to get us into places without waiting long, and showed us his favorite things about Capri. The chair lift to the top is a bit ominous if you’re afraid of heights, but we all did it despite our fears. The blue grotto was closed for the day due to extreme winds but Alberto put us on a boat tour around the island instead which gave us a good look at the grottos and the 3 stones. Amazing views, and you feel like you’re in a movie when you’re on Capri!
Paola was so amazing! We had the best time and we were able to see everything so quickly! I could recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island!
Paola was fantastic! She met us right at the pier and immediately took our family to the Blue Grotto. She lives in Capri and knows everyone, which is a huge help because we did not waste any time waiting on lines. She was efficient in getting the most crowded excursions completed first like the Blue Grotto and the Chair Lift up to Anacapri. Paola is also extremely knowledgeable about all of Anacapri and Capri! She was very friendly and made my family feel very welcome. We were made to feel like her own family and like one of the locals, going to restaurants and sandal making shops that were tucked away. We also walked some of the side roads through Capri and Anacapri, seeing parts of the city I would have never seen before. I plan on visiting the island of Capri again with my boyfriend and will 150% will request to have Paola again. I would recommend Paola again to anyone who wants to see the island of Capri by land. Thank you Paola!!
We got off the ferry in Capri and were immediately meant by a handwritten sign by our fabulous personal tour guide for the day Paola Fiore. We hit the ground running and went to the Blue Grotto! There were tons of people waiting but she made magic happen and we were in in no time! Then off to the chairlift for an amazing view of Capri! She was a wealth of knowledge and the best tour guide we've had! We spent our whole day with her on this private tour and got to see and experience all that beautiful Capri and Anacapri had to offer!! I highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Paola!!
Our tour guide LUIGI made this trip sooo fun and wonderful. He treated us like family and was super funny, informative and the man of the island it seemed haha. He got us away from the crowds and showed us all that Capri had to offer. He got us to one of our favorite restaurant experiences in Italy and showed us so much beauty. The day went too quick! Can't recommend Luigi enough...he was probably our favorite guide ever!
Communication with the company was great! Luigi made our Capri trip amazing! We truly had the best time! He was fun, easy to work with, had great timing for everything so that we didn’t have to wait too long at anything. Luigi went above and beyond! He met us at the ferry. He was very flexible with our needs and wanted to make sure we experienced the best on Capri. Luigi always got us the best seats and knew everyone and everything on this island! My husband lost his passport but didn’t know when it had happened while on the tour, and Luigi got right on the phone and started calling everywhere we visited, and even the captain on the ferry, and found it! YES, Absolutely this trip was amazing! Ask for Luigi!
A great day with Luigi on Capri! Our thanks for making our day a very memorable experience on Capri with the convertible pick up, to doing the Blue Grotto and the chair lift. You timed and sequenced everything perfectly with the weather and # of folks visiting the island.
Our guide, Giorgio, was awesome! There was no worry about getting the best experience and skipping all lines with him. The chairlift, the blue grotto, and the rail car back down from AnaCapri, we never waited, at all, maybe a minute or two. The island was packed being mid September and we had an amazing experience. Would totally recommend for a stress free experience to see all the beautiful wonders on this island. Wear comfortable shoes cause you do walk a bit.
We did an optional tour from our Cosmos Tour, loved Positano & Capri, it was stunning....well worth going on the chairlift and the boat trip around Capri
My husband and I had taken a private tour when we visited Capri three years ago on a cruise. We were lucky to have Anamaria as our tour guide then so when we decided to go back to Capri with two other couples, we asked for her again! Anamaria is a local and seems to know everyone. She is very knowledgeable about the island, very friendly, super accommodating and efficient, and of course speaks fluent English. Since we had been to the Blue Grotto on our previous trip, we opted to visit the ruins of the ancient villa of Tiberius. It's a healthy uphill walk but Anamaria knew all the shortcuts and pointed out interesting sights on the way. She knew all about the Roman ruins and showed us around. We were amazed at how much was still there to see. On the way back to Capri town, there was an incredible rain storm but Anamaria got us into a shed so we didn't get completely drenched. We then took a taxi to a restaurant in Anacapri where she was able to secure us a table for 6 where we could wait out the rain and eat pizza and drink wine! Fortunately the sun came back out and we took the chair lift to the top of the mountain, then strolled around Anacapri for some shopping. Then Anamaria got us another taxi and took us down to the port to catch our ferry back to Amalfi. She took excellent care of us and when we go back to Capri, we'll definitely ask for her services again.
Tours of Capri...A wonderful way to see this beautiful but crowded island. Luigi, our tour guide, was one of the best we ever had. Capri is very popular and having a personal guide was the best investment. And Luigi, really understood our needs and tailored our tour to our specifications. His knowledge of the area and contacts on the island were the best. Tip: Ask for Luigi from Tours of Capri
Our guide was Giorgio and he did a fantastic job. He was not only knowledgeable about the island but so easy to talk to and not awkward. He had many great suggestions including shopping and restaurant. We had a great day! Thanks so much!
Loved the tour and saw a lot for one day. The island is beautiful and the views are stunning. Annamarie was an excellent guide and Mario, our taxi driver, was a very safe driver and we really enjoyed the convertible taxi! e My only 'complaint' is that I didn't realize there were so many steps to get to the Blue Grotto. My wife make the trek up and down the steps but, because of my bad leg, I could not make the stairs. The stairs were not mentioned in the tour description. However, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it for those who want a private experience.
Pleasant visit, beautiful landscapes with several cliffs and caves. Visiting the Blue Cave is not a must and it saves you a long Waiting time. Capri is an island full of charm.
