Unfortunate for the long queue, due to the crowd, we could not make the most famous grotto, but the tour guide and the captain took us the next beautiful spot where is the exact the same BLUE!!

The trip was excellent - the guides entertaining and Capri is absolutely beautiful! There were a lot of details to arrange and the tour company did a great job organizing transport, ferry rides, mini buses and really good tour guides. I would definitely use them again! Be warned it is a very long day, but was well worth it for a day trip!

Very long day a the ocean was to rough to go to the Blue Grotto but Annnnalisa an Ileana made the trip fun still! We took a wild water ride around the other side of the island an the boat driver put his boat into some small caves an saw the green water still. Very bad ocean weather but boat driver an tour guides were awesome still! Highly recommend Annalisa for the bus park an Ileana for the Capri part great day!

The Grotto is a must see experience…Definitely not enough time to explore Capri… Don’t be surprised if you book an English speaking tour and ended up with a group that doesn’t speak English… our guide Franchesca on the coach was extremely helpful with us in particular and attentive to the groups needs… I would recommend not to miss this tour!!!

The water at the Blue Grotto can be choppy, so we were fortunate that it settled down enough for us to get in. I was very disappointed that I was not able to sit with my wife as we went into the grotto due to the seating configuration of the row boat. It seems that the boaters were just trying to get as many people in and out as quickly as they could.

Beautiful places to visit. Catching the ferry to Capri was chaotic with all the people.. very hard to keep up

Awesome trip to Capri islands with Gabrielle and Ileana. Both the hosts were really awesome who made sure we visited each and every spot properly and had enough time to relax and also take photos with the family. Thanks a lot to Gabrielle who made the journey memorable.

I spent a lot of money for this excursion to the Blue Grotto but when we got there the guide that the line was too long - no asking what what we wanted to do or anyone else - she didn't want to wait so we didn't go. Very disappointing for a small substitute boat ride.

The actual site of the blue grotto was something to see - however the tour person wanted to deter us from going as her feedback was that it would be too long... we had to push back and say we had paid to go there and we did end up going but I was frustrated that we even had to ask.
