★★★★★
Antonio was friendly and funny and looked after everyone. Two hours turned out to be exactly the right length, the swim stop was the best part of it, and there was something worth photographing at almost every turn.
LeighAnn W. · friends · July 2026
Capri Italy boat tour
★★★★★
Two hours was enough to see Capri properly from the water. The guide talked us through each place as we passed it and we had about twenty minutes in the sea.
Amy K. · couple · June 2026
Capri Italy boat tour
★★★☆☆
Booked as two hours. We started ten minutes late and were back in the harbour after just over an hour, then sat for the limoncello. Two grottoes and one swim — less than the description had led me to expect.
Marc C. · solo · June 2026
Capri Italy boat tour
★★★★☆
A pleasant lap of the island with friendly crew and friendly fellow passengers. The chance to swim in water that clear was the thing worth coming for.
Christoph K. · couple · July 2026
Capri Italy boat tour
★★★★★
A good choice if you only have one day on Capri and want to see the town from land and the island from the water. The captain and the guide both had real energy.
Stacey E. · family · July 2026
Capri Italy boat tour
★★★★★
We saw the Green Grotto close up and stopped to swim. Two crew handing round snacks and drinks the whole way made it feel looked after rather than processed.
Julie M. · couple · June 2026
Capri Italy boat tour
★★★★★
Tiziana knew the island inside out and kept the day to time, and we did get into the Blue Grotto. She took our photograph on the boat without being asked.
Sneha S. · couple · April 2026
Blue Grotto Capri tour
★★★★★
A well-organised day that covered most of the island. Paula was thorough enough to make sure everyone had their ferry ticket back to Sorrento before we split up.
Rowland P. · friends · May 2026
Blue Grotto Capri tour
★★★★★
The scenery is genuinely beautiful. The waves were rough the day we went, and it looks as though the Blue Grotto needs near-perfect conditions to open at all. Teresa was outstanding regardless.
Rose C. · couple · May 2026
Blue Grotto Capri tour
★☆☆☆☆
We found the company inflexible when we had trouble following the instructions and missed the start. No partial refund and no offer of another day.
Cindy H. · family · June 2026
Blue Grotto Capri tour
★★★★★
The roads up there are astonishingly narrow and I would not want to drive them. Noemi handled the driving and the history and had good advice on where to eat.
David S. · couple · May 2026
Blue Grotto Capri tour
★★★★★
Theresa worked around our ferry times from Sorrento without any fuss and still left us plenty of time to shop. We came and went without a problem.
Richard W. · couple · June 2026
Blue Grotto Capri tour
★★★★★
Roberto and the crew had the day planned before we boarded and steered us away from the crowds, which turned out to be the part that mattered. Prosecco, towels, fruit and snorkelling gear were all there.
Dena M. · family · June 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
Seven of us on a big comfortable boat, swimming, plenty of seats and a lot of local history along the way. Rosa and Peppe could not have been more welcoming.
Agnes F. · family · July 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
We boarded at Positano and had several swim stops and a couple of caves. Roberto helped us sort out our hours ashore on Capri as well, which we had not expected.
Susan B. · family · July 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
Towels, snorkelling gear and drinks were all aboard. We stopped on the island for lunch, swam more than once, and went into the coral grotto with Lorenzo at the helm.
Kelly G. · friends · July 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
We ran along the Sorrento coast first and crossed to Capri afterwards, which gave the day a shape. Rosa and Pepe greeted us warmly and the scenery did the rest.
Catharine S. · couple · August 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
Relaxed and well hosted, and it worked for a family group of mixed ages. They tell you the history as you go rather than leaving you to guess.
Nick M. · family · June 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
We booked the 9.30am two-hour cruise and would recommend that time — it gets very busy later. The boat was immaculate, with beer, prosecco, limoncello and snacks, and we could plug our own music into the speaker.
Maxine S. · friends · July 2026
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
We skipped the Blue Grotto, and if you do want it, take an early boat — it was very crowded when we passed. Plenty of time to swim and a clean, comfortable boat.
Kristin G. · couple · July 2026
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
Massimo asked what we wanted to see and built the trip round it, then wove between the other boats to find us the best swimming spot. Three hours is what I would book.
Mary C. · couple · June 2026
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★☆
Lovely once we were aboard, but we spent twenty-five minutes hunting for the right boat. The instructions said turn left and walk 300 metres, and there are a great many boats down there.
Kathleen L. · couple · July 2026
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★☆
The trip itself was beautiful but we had to ask for the commentary rather than being given it, and the beer was warm. Everything else was as described.
Maryann S. · couple · October 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
We hit some rough choppy sections and the skipper handled the boat well. With the wind up he stayed out the full time and showed us everything he safely could.
Kara G. · couple · May 2026
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
A no-frills lap of the island and exactly what I wanted. The two-hour version was plenty.
Steven B. · solo · April 2026
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
I was travelling with my 70-year-old mother and both the captain and the guide were patient with getting on and off. Drinks were ready when we arrived and we saw several caves in three hours.
Stephanie Y. · family · August 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
A good way to see all of Capri in one day. Marco was energetic and knew the island, and it is busy enough here that doing what we did on our own would have been hard.
Jane S. · couple · May 2026
Capri Italy day tour
★★★★★
The Blue Grotto was closed the day we went, but Francesco got us chairlift tickets and time to eat and the boat trip round the island instead. It still worked.
Ariana T. · family · May 2026
Capri Italy day tour
★★☆☆☆
It started well, then at each stop we were given free time to explore alone — the gardens, the shopping streets, the next place. I did not mind the free time, but I was not sure why we needed a guide.
gina c. · couple · May 2026
Capri Italy day tour
★★★★★
Our first stop was the Blue Grotto and we were lucky enough to get inside. Marco was knowledgeable, kind and funny, and the rest of the day did not drop off after it.
George K. · couple · May 2026
Capri Italy day tour
★★★★★
An hour and a half paddling out to the caves and the arches, and the best way we found to see the coastline. The beach you launch from is pebbles, so take flip-flops.
Janet M. · family · June 2026
Capri Italy kayak tour
★★★★★
If you are coming for the day from somewhere else, leave real time to get from Marina Grande over to Marina Piccola. It is about ten minutes by taxi but there can be a queue for one.
Heather L. · couple · June 2026
Capri Italy kayak tour
★★★★★
Francesco was patient and knew his stuff, told us a few island legends and pointed out other places worth going. The time on the water went quickly.
Margaret M. · couple · May 2026
Capri Italy kayak tour
★★★★★
Relaxed and unhurried, with the skipper good company throughout and the history of each place explained as we reached it. Cushions and towels made it comfortable to sit out.
Anton P. · couple · September 2024
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★☆
The meeting point was hard to find — the address led us to a café across the street and different people gave us different directions. Once we were on the boat it was everything we hoped for.
Olesia G. · couple · August 2026
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
Three hours was the right amount of time to go round the island, see the sights and have a couple of swims without feeling rushed.
Ty D. · couple · September 2023
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
Luigi knew the island and the sites we passed, and a private boat is the way to do this. Straightforward from start to finish.
Peter B. · couple · June 2026
Capri Italy tour from Sorrento
★★☆☆☆
Not worth the money for us. You can take the ferry and have much the same experience for a fraction of it.
Danay R. · couple · April 2026
Capri Italy tour from Sorrento
★★★★★
We did this on the last day of our honeymoon and it was the most memorable part of the trip. Salvatore took us to several places along the coast including the Green Grotto and let us swim.
Robert C. · couple · September 2025
Capri Italy tour from Sorrento
★★★★★
We wanted the caves, a swim in clear water and some limoncello, and we got all three. Well organised and relaxed from the moment we found the meeting point.
Melissa T. · family · June 2026
Capri Italy boat tour
★★★★★
A good trip round the island with swimming. It does not include the Blue Grotto, so check whether that is a must for you before booking.
Robert G. · couple · June 2026
Capri Italy boat tour
★★★★★
Easy to find coming off the ferry, and there is a good restaurant at the meeting point. I was disappointed there was no snorkelling and only ten minutes of swimming.
Tricia M. · couple · June 2026
Capri Italy boat tour
★★★★★
The guides were good and the swimming was excellent. We did not get into the Blue Grotto because the queue was two and a half hours, so we swam in the clear water instead and did not regret it.
Ezra H. · friends · August 2025
Blue Grotto Capri tour
★★★★★
We did this on the second day of our honeymoon. Beer, prosecco and snacks were provided, the guide knew the coast, and missing the grotto to a long wait honestly did not spoil it.
Jack A. · couple · September 2025
Blue Grotto Capri tour
★★★★★
They were in touch before the trip by app, email and text about where to meet, and were flexible when our ferry from Naples ran late. Stefano knew the island.
Holly H. · family · August 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
A traditional wooden boat, well kept, and the captain talked us through the caves as we went round. Fresh tomatoes and focaccia came out with sparkling water and soft drinks.
David M. · couple · September 2025
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
Our host taught us about the food of the region and poured wines from her family's own vineyard alongside. There was a lot of laughter in that kitchen and the meal at the end was worth the afternoon.
Eileen E. · couple · September 2025
Capri Italy cooking class
★★★★★
My nineteen-year-old son and I both enjoyed it. Warm, unhurried and genuinely instructive — but be warned that there are a great many stairs up to the house.
Kristen S. · family · June 2025
Capri Italy cooking class
★★★★★
A family aged sixteen to eighty-one and everyone was looked after. They picked good swimming holes and gave us a proper day rather than a schedule.
Carmen S. · family · July 2026
Capri Italy day tour
★★★★☆
We had a good day in the end, but at 10pm the night before we were told the boat was out of service and offered a different one. We had booked three months earlier.
SantinaTeresa C. · family · July 2026
Capri Italy day tour
★★★★★
Giovanna messaged the day before and again in the morning about where to meet at the port. It is essentially a shuttle service round the island, which is one less thing to think about, and there was a free chairlift ticket in Anacapri.
Joe S. · solo · July 2024
Capri Italy day tour
★★☆☆☆
I thought I had booked a guided tour. A multilingual guide met us, walked us to the chairlift, sold us tickets and said goodbye.
Ginette S. · solo · June 2026
Capri Italy day tour
★★★★★
The highlight of our trip, and the skipper looked after my wife when she was not feeling well. Some of the best limoncello we have had.
Sam J. · couple · June 2026
Capri Italy private boat tour
★★★★★
Our captain took us to the best spots, let us stop and explore, and got us to restaurants you can only reach by boat.
Jenelle P. · friends · August 2026
Amalfi Coast and Capri boat tour
★★★★★
Eight of us, family and friends, and a full day along the coast with hidden stops. Peppe was welcoming, funny and knew the water.
Lindsay Y. · friends · September 2025
Amalfi Coast and Capri boat tour
★★★★★
Large, clean boat and two hospitable crew who even helped us with restaurant reservations. We enjoyed the Italian music on the way round.
Jack O. · couple · June 2025
Capri Italy tour from Sorrento
Reviewers on five different trips describe a closed cave or a queue of two and a half hours. Nobody who wrote about it thought the day was ruined, but they had all planned other stops. The Blue Grotto tours page explains what closes it.
Four trips draw the same comment: the address led somewhere near the boat rather than to it. Use the landmark the operator gives, and message them the evening before. Our map page lists every meeting point on this site.
Across every operator here, the twenty minutes in the water off the Faraglioni or in a cove gets more sentences than the sightseeing does. If you are choosing between two trips, choose the one that anchors longer.
These are paraphrases of reviews published on each trip's own booking listing, kept in the reviewer's sense rather than their exact words, with their first name and the month they wrote.
