About this tour
A 12-hour excursion from Rome that whisks you south to Capri by private car and hydrofoil. Your English-speaking guide meets you at Naples port and shepherds you through the island's highlights: the luminous Blue Grotto (sea conditions permitting), the dramatic Faraglioni rock formations, and Augustus's clifftop gardens. The afternoon frees you to wander Capri's village lanes, snap photos, and browse local shops before the return journey to Rome.
Highlights
- Electric blue waters of the famous sea cave
- Towering limestone stacks rising from turquoise sea
- Gardens terraced above the Mediterranean
- Hydrofoil crossing from mainland Italy
- Afternoon exploring whitewashed village streets
- Private air-conditioned transport Rome to Naples
What to expect
You'll be collected from your Rome accommodation and driven to Naples in a comfortable, climate-controlled vehicle. After a hydrofoil crossing, your local guide takes over on Capri. Small shared rowboats venture into the Blue Grotto (weather dependent); expect queues depending on season, and roughly five minutes inside the cave itself. You'll visit the manicured Augustus Gardens, view the Faraglioni Rocks from the shoreline, then have time to explore the narrow village streets at your own pace. Pack a picnic or eat locally—meals aren't provided. Walking is moderate; wear sturdy shoes.
Good to know
Blue Grotto tickets (€15) and the funicular (€2.50) are separate costs. If sea conditions close the grotto, you'll visit Anacapri's historic centre instead—no refund applies. The tour uses public transport throughout Capri. Bring comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. Tipping isn't mandatory but appreciated.
