Wow! Were do I begin? Me, my husband, our daughter and son in law were only in Italy for 7 nights. We knew we did not have time to see the Amalfi Coast. We chose to do a private guided day trip to Capri from Rome. I’m so happy we found Tours of Capri! From my very first email to Cristina, the tour manager, to my many follow up emails with a ton of questions! Cristina was amazingly responsive and helpful in planning our day. Every detail was given in a timeline and she also sent a link to view a YouTube video of what our day would be like. From Rome via Fast train, it’s 1hr to Naples Centrale station. The minute my family stepped off the train at 8:45am we were greeted by our guide Sabrina, waiting for us. She quickly got us into a taxi and within minutes we were at the Molo Beverello port. Sabrina handled all the details, from our taxi fare, tickets for ferry, convertible car on the island of Capri, tickets to all attractions(blue grotto, chairlift, funicular). Sabrina got us on the early ferry at 9:10am. She was amazing with time management and maximized our time on the island so we were able to see and do everything we wanted. To spend the day with a local guide like Sabrina was wonderful. She was kind, educated and so much fun to be with. We learned so much about Naples and the island. Once off the ferry, we had a convertible car waiting for us to take us along the famous “mama Mia road” for amazing views and within minutes we were at the Blue Grotto. We were very lucky to be able to experience such a beautiful attraction with hardly and waiting time at all. The blue grotto is tide permitting, so we got lucky. We then took the chairlift up the side of Monte Solaro. The top is breathtaking! Amazing views. Sabrina suggested a few different lunch options that included a more intimate time consuming restaurant and options for a quick quality lunch. We chose pizzeria Barbarossa, great fast service with amazing caprese salad and margarita pizza! We toured the main Piazzetta in Capri and strolled along the high end shops right to the Augusta Gardens. Along the way be sure to stop and have a freshly squeezed lemonade over orange slush drink. So refreshing! Sabrina made our day trip. If it wasn’t for her direction and time management, we would have never seen all we wanted. We had a 3:20pm ferry back to Naples and Sabrina accompanied us all the way back to the train. We would highly recommend tours of Capri and Sabrina. We will be back to see the coast and when we do, we will be in touch. We would love to have Sabrina show us around. Grazie Mille Cristina & Sabrina! Ciao for now!

Amazing experience from Sorrento to Capri! Definitely the highlight of our trip!! We met at the Sorrento port in boarding ferry to Capri with our guide. We were in luck as the blue grotto was open and it was beautiful! We also were able to tour AnaCapri and Capri, ride the chairlifts up the mountain side and lots of shopping. Then our tour guide Luigi was able to get us reservations at Da Paulino One of the famous restaurants on Capri where we dined under lemon trees. The whole day was wonderful!Allison_K

All transportation upon arrival to the Naples train station was included, we were greeted by our personal tour guide, Giorgio, at the train exit & he took care of us from then on! He’s a Capri local, born & raised, & he was so passionate about teaching us about its culture and history. The chair lift to the peak of Anacapri is a MUST & although the Blue Grotto was closed, we enjoyed the boat tour around the island so much (& Giorgio said he prefers it over the Blue Grotto since the wait is long, and the experience is short). The boat ride is 45-1hr and you get to see the whole island from the beautiful blue ocean. It was an experience of a lifetime & totally worth it, do NOT miss out!! Thank you, GIORGIO!!!Caroline_W

This private tour is the best way to see Capri! We had the best day with our guide and we really made the most of our time on the island. There was a good balance between our guide telling us history, leaving us to have some free time and to take photos, and catering to our needs. We got lucky and got to go inside the Blue Grotto. We beat all the other boats there and even had our own dock where we were picked up. There was no wait. It is well worth the money and the overall tour experience was excellent. Our guide was professional and courteous. We had a blast!Rosa S

The Blue Grotto is beautiful and the boat ride is entertaining and fun, however, the 2 hour wait was not. The island of Capri is gorgeous.
