What to Expect from the Itinerary

Starting from Naples

Your day begins bright and early at Molo Beverello, with pickup around 8:00 am. From there, the bus transports you to the Villa Favorita gardens in Herculaneum—a lovely spot to start your day surrounded by lush greenery. Here, you’ll meet your guide, who will accompany you on the hydrofoil to Capri. The boat ride itself, typically lasting about 30 minutes, already sets a tone of excitement, offering stunning views of the coast and the sea.

The Journey to Capri

Once on the island, the guide will lead you through Anacapri in a private minibus. This part of the trip is a highlight—an opportunity to see the lush, less crowded side of the island. In Anacapri, you’ll visit the Belvedere, where panoramic views await, along with remnants of Barbarossa Castle—a spot with both historical and scenic appeal. A stop at a garden sanctuary once owned by Axel Munthe adds a touch of serenity and history.

Lunch and Exploration

After the sightseeing, you’ll sit down for a light meal at a traditional Capri restaurant. Expect tasty local dishes, and perhaps a chance to relax and chat with fellow travelers. Following lunch, there’s plenty of time to stroll through the lively streets, browse the exclusive shops, or just enjoy the scenery. The highlight for many is walking along Via Tragara, Via Camerelle, and Via Le Botteghe, where boutiques and cafes spill into the narrow alleys. Don’t forget to snap photos of the iconic Faraglioni rocks from the Gardens of Augustus.

Optional and Free Time

While some guests might opt to visit the Blue Grotto or other optional excursions, these are not included in the package. If you’re interested, coordinate with your guide beforehand. The free time also allows for shopping, sampling local limoncello, or simply soaking in the ambiance of this glamorous island.

Return to Naples

In the late afternoon, you’ll board the boat back to Naples, arriving at Molo Beverello around 4:00 pm. From there, a bus will take you back to your original meeting point, completing your 9-10 hour adventure.

Transport and Group Size

What we appreciate is how the transport is well-organized—from the pickup at Naples to the minibus on the island. It makes moving between sights straightforward, especially if you’re traveling with others or prefer not to navigate public transportation. The tour limits groups to a maximum of 10 travelers, ensuring personalized attention and a more intimate experience.

Price and Value

At roughly $259 per person, this tour isn’t the cheapest option out there, but it includes a lot: boat rides, guided tours, a meal, limoncello tasting, and detailed maps. If you’re short on time but want a comprehensive taste of Capri, it offers a fair balance of cost and experience, especially considering the convenience.

The Experience from the Review

One reviewer, Vittorio, praised the organization: “Well organised although we were damped to the Pier at 7.30 AM for a sailing at 9.15 AM. Special thanks to Alessandro, the guide that came on time to open the booth, gave us the ticket and explained the tour in detail as well as our tour guide Marco on the island.” This highlights that punctuality and clear communication are strong points of the tour.

Another aspect travelers seem to enjoy is the combination of guided insights and free time. The included limoncello tasting also gets a shout-out—an authentic touch that adds flavor to the day.

Who Should Consider This Tour?

This experience suits travelers who want to maximize their day with a mix of guided sightseeing and flexibility. It’s ideal for those who appreciate comfort, as transport is arranged, and who prefer to avoid the hassle of booking multiple tickets or figuring out island transit. If you’re keen on seeing the major sights of Capri and Anacapri without the stress of independent planning, this tour will do the trick.

However, if you’re eager to visit specific attractions like the Blue Grotto or want longer periods of free exploration, you might want to look into additional arrangements or separate tours.
