Visit the Blue Grotto

Pepe and Francisco were great! Blue Grotto was closed, but they made up for it by taking us to other areas. They were fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and everything you would want from your tour guide.
A Lovely Day spinkled with alot of Disppointment

We booked this tour & paid the extra specifically to experience the Blue Grotto. It was a beautiful warm sunny day with calm seas. Approaching the Blue grotto the Captain said it would be an hours wait to enter as there was a boat in front of us waiting to go in & strongly suggested we stop on our return.
All passengers stated adamantly we had booked for this reason & providing we would be stopping later that it would be ok.
After we were all dropped off in Capri our boat then returns on two more occassions to pick up others from the port & needless to say our trip back left later than expected & when we finally arrived near the Blue Grotto the staff there were finishing up for the day.
To make up for this we were taken to a swimming spot.
Although beautiful we did not take this tour nor pay for a swim which by the way not everyone does.
It was very disappointing because I believe the Captain was keeping to his own timetable & not in servicing the paying customer.
Francesco and Pepe were the best!

My son and I loved this full day to Capri. The two tour guides, Francesco and Pepe, were amazing and made the day that much more fun! Everyone had a great time. We had 8 people and were a mix of ages but Francesco and Pepe, made everyone have a great day. Blue Grotto was closed for the day but we swam through the Green Grotto which was amazing and later had other opportunities to swim. My only complaint was we were told numerous times by The Tour Guy to meet at 8:15 and we received a call at 730 am telling us we were late! We made it somehow and I’m glad we did but a little annoying at the time. Would definitely book again and just confirm numerous times the meeting time!
Boat ride was great

We were picked up at our place at 7:30 and taken to the dock area. We had to walk a bit and take an elevator due to some road construction. Marco our captain was the best he took straight to capri to beat the crowd. Take the $20 bus ride to the chair lift and go up as soon as you can. View from the top is worth the $14 per person. Capri itself is very crowded, expensive and touristy. We go back onto the boat at 1:30. He provided some sandwiches and plenty of drinks. Went swimming and visited all the grottos skipped the blue one due to the 1-1/2 hr wait. We had a great time and made some friends with the other groups aboard. You must do this tour to see capri’s best points

Unfortunately, our tour day was disappointing. The skipper’s unprofessional behavior toward some guests created an uncomfortable atmosphere on board, which negatively affected the overall experience. What should have been an enjoyable day ended up feeling unpleasant

I ended up going on this tour alone at the last minute and it was fantastic! Sure everyone else is couples, but I want to be sure that even if you decide to go it along you will love every minute of it. The crew - Antonio and Captain Nino were excellent. When you are navigating the waters around the capri island and into the blue grotto area - you need someone who is great with the boat and the art of negotiation. Don’t hesitate. The whole experience is so worth it.
Book it!!

Doing Capri was amazing! Our tour guide, Antonio, was brilliant in not taking us to the blue grotto in the morning when it was chaos with all the boats. We did Capri instead, again with his great advice to get on the hop on hop off and take the lift to the top. Then come down halfway, enjoy the town and then come down to the harbor. It was perfecto!! Mille graze Antonio!! Then off to the blue grotto which was stunning, and then enjoying more caves, swimming and having fun in the boat. Highly recommend this tour and Antonio!!!

We had a great day with Ross and Franco, our tour guides, on our trip to Capri.
The trip was well organized and it was a good combination of guided time and time for us to explore. The boat ride over was smooth and we had good instructions on how to use our time in Capri to explore. We took their advice to start at the top at Ana Capri and do the self-guided walking tour of Old Town. Then we took the Chairlift up to top of Monte Solaro for dramatic views of the coastline. We ate our lunch right on the shore, near the harbor. The afternoon was full with a visit to the Blue Grotto and a leisurely ride around the many different caves with their shades of blue water. Spectacular! Our guides were knowledgeable about the history of the area and great at creating fun and community with our group of 8 participants. We highy recommend the tour and, if possible, getting Ross and Franco as your guides.

This was a beautiful day. Our guide on boat was very informative and hospitable. Catered to everyone’s needs and a shared so much knowledge about the island while we were touring on the boat. Lots of free time in Capri, about 4 hours. Enjoy!
Fantastic trip with Ross and Francesco

An absolutely fabulous trip with Ross and Francesco! Unfortunately we missed the blue grotto due to the conditions, but Ross and Francesco more than made up for it with different sights. Great hospitality, they were so friendly and so happy, and helped make this tour one not to be missed.
