Review of a small-group Capri boat tour from Sorrento with swimming, snorkeling, four hours on Capri, and optional Blue Grotto visit.

“This was by far the best part of our 9 day trip to Italy with Mt. Etna a close second best part of our visit. Fabricio (sp?) was such an excellent and entertaining guide. He took some of our favorite photos of us that day and gave us information on the various things to do on the island such as the high end shops in Capri and looking for the goats going up the chairlift. We found the goats on our hike back down to the marina from the chair lift. What a great experience! I also want to thank our captain of the boat that did such an amazing…”

Review the Capri Blue Grotto boat tour from Sorrento, with early access, swimming, free time on Capri, costs, and practical tips.

“Would give this more than 5 stars really was worth the money and absolutely perfect day! We went Friday 10th October the crew on that day for the full day trip to Capri and Blue Grotto couldn’t have done any more for us, gave us 3 hours in Capri, and tour around the outside of the island, the blue grotto which was a surreal experience, and also time to swim which was very refreshing! Refreshments provided in full and also a fruit platter kindly provided! Will 100% be doing this tour again when I return.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,759 reviews · from $141

Review of the Sorrento to Capri boat tour, with Blue Grotto visit, swimming, snorkeling, costs, timing, boat details, and practical tips.

“Loved the small group atmosphere and the scenery was beautiful. Guide was knowledgeable and took great care of the group. The guide tried to customize the experience as much as possible for what the group wanted to do (10 people) and was able to give us extra time on Capri which we happily took. Only thing I wish I knew before was that you will get wet! This is not the type of boat that you can avoid getting soaked while it’s in motion.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,041 reviews · from $174

Review of the Sorrento Amalfi and Positano boat tour, with swimming, snacks, free time, prices, guides, and practical booking advice.

“Our guides Giovanni and Antonino were excellent hosts/boat drivers and made us feel very comfortable. There were only 10 people on our boat and we never felt rushed, even when we were running behind schedule. Giovanni pointed out multiple landmarks along the way to give us a sense of the culture of the region. We absolutely loved visiting Amalfi and Positano. The free beverages and snacks on the boat were a welcome bonus. We also loved the surprise waterfall the end of the tour.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 508 reviews · 8 hours · from $77

Review of the Sorrento to Capri cruise via Nerano, with six hours on Capri, island views, optional shuttles, and practical booking advice.

“This was an unexpectedly good trip due to timely and friendly transportation, first by bus pickup at hotel and later boat to Capri. Our guide was very personable. He nicely tried to dissuade me from breaking away from the group to find Villa Jovis (Tiberius’ palace ruins) as it is quite a trek and I might get lost and miss the boat back. I broke away from our group. It was a long walk, I almost did get lost, but I made it. The guide congratulated me on the boat ride back. I basically booked the tour to have professionals get me to the island so that I could venture…”
