From Naples: Full-Day Capri Island and Blue Grotto Tour

Posted By : saurabhrdeshpande
Good management of the tour. Showed different tourist attractions, with sufficient time at each. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and helped us with our different requests without hesitation!

Our tour guide, Sacha (very knowledgeable and charismatic) warned us at the very beginning that we "might not be able to go to the Blue Grotto." He mentioned this several times during our excursion. It was a beautiful day - sunny, mid 90's, LOW tide - PERFECT for viewing the grotto. I am quite positive that Sacha himself did not want to spend HIS time travelling to or waiting in the queue to actually get into the grotto (which he has seen MANY times), so he decided on his own that we were not going there! In addition, our "free time" in Capri and Anacapri was ridiculously short! The "full day - 8 hours" tour was reduced to a bit over 7 hours from departure from Naples to return. Cost of USD 377.43 for my wife and I was poorly spent!

The guide was lovely, and it was great to see the island of Capri, however if you want to get the full experience maybe staying for a night on the island would be better. The tour was mostly travel, 45min by ferry to the island, then the blue grotto was closed due to high tides. We had a nice boat ride of the island instead. Then caught a bus up the hill to lunch. After lunch we had 45min to explore which wasn't even enough time to get up the chair lift. So we were a little disappointed. Then had to wait around for the bus to get back down, before catching the 45min ferry back to Naples. If I travelled all the way from Rome (which some people did) I would have been extremely disappointed.
The Tour itself was well organised, I just don't feel it was worth the money as we only got to spend 45min to actually explore Capri.

The tour we booked was not worth the money we spent on it, unfortunately. The price of the tour compared to what you receive is not comparable, and the cost outweighs what you see. It was a nice day still enjoyed going there just thought the tour was too expensive.

This tour does not describe that purchasers have to wait in a boat in the sun without cover for 1-2 hours just for their turn to be taken into the blue grotto by a smaller paddle boat. The cave is surrounded by other boats with passengers waiting to enter. There is no order or clear organized process by which the paddle boats select the boat/passengers they take. Boats are cutting other boats off, and people are yelling at one another across boats.

There were kids on my boat taking dramamine because they too did not expect to get stuck on a boat for this long and in the sun. There are other tour groups offering a visit to a grotto where you are able to swim - that is not this tour.

The paddleboat, takes you into a cave for less than 5 minutes with a line up of other boats surrounding you, then they ask you for a tip before they paddle you outside the cave. Absolutely terrible tourist trap.

Water was so rough going to the island, they were handing out barf bags. Many people around me were getting sick. I haven’t had seasickness since I was about 10, now 53, and I was struggling myself. Of course, when we got there, the Grotto was closed because of rough seas and wind. We should have never left Naples. Bad experience and bad management of the excursion.

The tour started late and ended early. The Blue Grotto was unorganized and both my wife and I weren't feeling well from the motion and hot sun. We couldn't even enjoy our lunch. Barely explored Capri. This tour was the only downside to our Italy vacation. There are better tours out there. Full credit to Viator for helping me get a refund!

We almost thought we are lost but the tour operator called us and made sure we meet our guide Sacha, sacha was a great guide so cheerful so energetic and helpful. blue grotto was so magical but the wait of an hour to go inside the cave was a spoiler my kids and husband got sea sick because of the wait in the boat for an hour and couldn’t go inside the cave even after waiting for so long but not that anything could be done about it as 10-15 big boats are waiting at the same time to send their passengers in the cave and there are limited small boats to go inside the cave but once you are on small boat it takes 5 minutes to go in and come out. Lunch was super delicious just wish had some more time after lunch to go around and do some shopping on the top rather than coming back down there was nothing much to do there. But all in all very good tour 5* to sacha

Very few. The excursion did not go to Blue Grotto, spent 5 minutes in Capri and was overly crowded. Very bad experience and I would not recommend.

Wonderful day….. the tour was well organized and very informative. There is nothing like the Blue Grotto.
