Would give zero if there was an option. Be careful. We booked Capri coast to coast tour with stop at Blue Grotto through Viator. When we reached their about 30 minutes early for 10.30am tour, they gave us the vouchers and said the wait is 2 hours for the blue grotto. This was very disappointing, seems like a scam. Not sure if Viator is aware of this. We had a train to catch from Sorrento, had no time to wait for more 2 hours. As such, we asked for refund, they said they cant refund and Viator will refund. This whole experience was not at all pleasant to have during a family vacation. I have to call Viator for the refund and hope will be refunded without an issue.
We had a great tour. The captain was funny and likeable. First we did the blue grotto on a smaller boat and then we embark on a bigger boat for island tour
Very successful excursion. The captain and his crew handled this excursion very well. We are delighted with it and have good memories of it, we thank them for it. I insisted on visiting the Blue Cave, they directed me to another provider and so I took a second boat that took me there and it is a scam, €19 and 2 hours of waiting for 5 minutes of visiting.
The majority of this tour consists of the boat trip from Amalfi to Capri and back, leaving very limited time to actually explore and enjoy Capri. While the scenery along the coast is beautiful, the boat ride often felt uncomfortable due to the high speed, even when sea conditions were relatively calm. The snorkeling stops were also disappointing, as the selected locations offered very little opportunity to observe marine life, which did not meet my expectations for this type of excursion. Given the price of the tour, I expected a more personalized and premium experience, with greater attention to guest comfort and a better balance between travel time and time spent on the island. Overall, the experience felt overpriced for the value received.
I had an amazing time here over all. I had a lovely breakfast looking out towards the boats followed by the Blue Grotto boat tour. I spotted this while out walking and the bus was just about to leave so I purchased a ticket there and then. I was informed that it is €25 for the boat, then €19 to transfer onto a rowing boat and then asked for a €10 tip. I did find this experience lovely and enjoyable but certainly pricy for about a minute looking around a cave. Afterwards I walked up to Capri to witness absolutely stunning views and beautiful stores. I couldn't leave without bringing home a couple of purchases. A very memorable experience.
Great experience, no problems Wonderful tour, everything on schedule and without any inconvenience
A 2 hours trip turned out to be a 1 hour and 10 minutes trip. The guide was friendly and explained a lot.
It was a nice tour and I would recommend. No swimming included and we did not do the blue grotto. It was a general tour around the island. Would recommend but there’s nothing outstanding about the tour itself but capri is beautiful and it was amazing to see the views from the water.
Blue grotto waste of time … our trip was booked for 09.30hrs, we waited on the main boat for 2 hours before boarding the small boat for an extra 19 Euros each and 5 mins in and out of the grotto. Poorly organised, other boats arrived well after us but went into grotto before us. The coast to coast boat trip around island was pleasant but the guide was not very engaging, lacked enthusiasm, seemed uninterested. We had planned several activities for the day but spent 5 & half hours just doing the boat trip. Would not recommend
So there was a significant wait outside the grotto on our boat. We were warned of approximately 45 mins, but we waited almost 2 hours, in blistering it heat. Once collected on the small boat, we were taken to another boat to pay. This was €19, not the €18 euros advertised. (Not a big issue) but then, the operator of the small boat, demanded a fee himself. This was stated €15/€20, ontop of the €19 we had already paid. We then waited a further 20 minutes outside the entrance to the grotto, and once entered, we rode round in a circle while the boat operator sung in atalian, and then we left. We were literally inside for less than five minutes. Can say we’ve done it, but I personally would not recommend. Not worth the money, or time.
