One of the best excursions we've been on we were well looked after and had a lot of fun the captain and his mate were exceptional
Anna was wonderful however were unaware that there were extra cost of $25 for bus transportation on Capri
We loved our boat tour from Sorrento to Capri and cannot say enough good things about our tour guide Anna. The boat was gorgeous, clean and the tour guide and captain were lovely. Anna literally made the trip!!! Despite having one guest on our boat who was committed to being miserable, Anna remained polite & professional, constantly trying to talk to and engage her. My family, and the other on board, had an incredible time and it was the perfect way for us to see Capri and the coast.
We had a excellent day out with Linda and Luca who looked after us on the boat I picked the trip as pretty much all fees were included which kept things simple with only the Blue Grotto as an extra Would strongly recommend booking this trip to others
Was a well organized tour. The pickup, checkin, and drop off was on time. The tour itself was also great, we got to see Capri and spend some time swimming in the water. I really enjoyed the tour
Alex and Francisco (Franco) were amazing! We had such a fun and memorable trip thanks to them!
Absolutely amazing five-star experience! Alex and Franco were incredible hosts—knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone had an unforgettable time. The music was fantastic, the atmosphere was so much fun, and they created the perfect environment to make new friends and lifelong memories. If you’re looking for an experience that’s equal parts entertaining, informative, and unforgettable, I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you, Alex and Franco, for an incredible day!
Our family of 4 took this Capri day trip as part of our family vacation. The tour was well organized. Excellent communication before the trip. They sent pick up details via email way in advance of the excursion and a reminder phone call as well. Once we got on our boat, the staff immediately put us at ease and made us feel welcome. Francesca and Nello were absolutely amazing! They made sure that we were comfortable and provided us with information about the island. It was American Father's Day and my daughter's birthday on our tour date. Francesca went above and beyond to make my daughter feel special by popping open prosecco and playing Happy Birthday while we approached the Faraglioni. Nello made sure that we family pictures taken in front of these iconic rock formations. It was an unforgettable day and a highlight of our 8 day Italy vacation!
This was a great experience from start to finish. We had the opportunity to see all of Capri with boat ride around the entire island and from the top of Anacapri via chairlift. We visited and swam in caves and coves. Each site was more impressive than the last. Captain Giuseppe and Louda were great and friendly hosts. This is a must for anyone visiting Sorrento and Capri.
We had a wonderful experience on the guided boat tour! We felt the small group size of 8 was perfect. We enjoyed all of the stops and our guides Louisa and Giuseppe were wonderful. The sights were incredible. Would highly recommend the experience!
