16 adults. Private tour from Sorrento to Capri. Tour guide was Georgio. He was amazing. Raphael tours bad at least 4 or 5 different tours that day in Capri. The tour guides all helped and looked out for each other throughout the day. A really well oiled machine. A shout out to Marcella and Luigi - 2 other guides from Raphael. All amazing. Highly recommend this company and these guides for a great all day tour. Great balance of guiding and providing some free time.
This was one of our favorite tours of the trip. Vincenzo was the best - he was able to take us up the chair lift and through the local side of the island early before the crowds came in. He was also able to recommend the best lunch spot where we had local cuisine that ended up being our favorite spot of the trip. And importantly he got us back to our cruise ship in perfect timing. This tour is a must do and consider yourself lucky if you get Vincenzo to lead the way!
I enjoyed my tour today. Theresa was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and she take really great pics 😊😊. She did an amazing job today
We had a fantastic tour of Capri with our guide, Vincenzo! He really tailored our tour for us. We had time constraints due to our cruise ship only being in port for a certain amount of hours. We also had grandparents with us who are not super mobile. Vincenzo went out of his way to make it a wonderful tour for everyone. We had so much fun! Highly recommend this tour!
Great experience! We met with Stephanie for this tour and she was very knowledgeable and accommodating during the tour. We happened to visit during a storm but she was able to find alternative activities on the island. Would recommend!
What an amazing experience! Our guide, Vincenzo, was so attentive and knowledgeable. Capri and the Blue Grotto are places that must be experienced once in a lifetime. The crowds can be large, so being part of a small group tour with a great guide is the way to go. Thank you, Vincenzo, for making this such an extraordinary experience for the three of us!
Thank you so much for this amazing review. We also think that Capri is a must-to-see once in a lifetime and we're really happy you felt that with our guide Vincenzo who did his best like always. Thank you!!
Stephanie our guide was wonderful , she guided us through the crowds to get us quickly through to the Blue Grotto as to not waste a large portion of our visit . Suggested a wonderful place for lunch overlooking the sea. Kept the day interesting with her own experiences and historical stories. It a great day on the Isle of Capri.
We had Mariano for our guide and we can’t say enough great things about him. I will preface by saying we had a private tour scheduled. From the minute we met Mariano he had our day planned perfectly. There was a taxi waiting for us as soon as we got off the ferry. We were lucky because the Blue Grotto was open and by having the taxi waiting we were some of the first people to arrive and get to tour it. He was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us great recommendations for lunch and snacks. We got to se all the highlights of both Anacapri and Capri. We had so much fun and we were all happily exhausted when we returned to Sorrento! Thank you for a very memorable day!
Well organized trip lead by exxellent tour Leader.. very recommended. Blue Grotto is a very unique experience, while Anacapri and Capri area is a must see object
Felt like we had Capri to ourselves. Our guide Miguel was friendly, informative and knew Capri like the back of his hand. He took us to the main spots on the island, and since the weather didn't allow for us to go on the chair lifts or Blue Grotto, he took us to Axel Munthe's villa instead, and then recommended the best spot on the boat that went round the island. Also took us to a good restaurant with the best fresh food.
