About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring Capri's most celebrated spots, departing Sorrento by fast ferry. You'll drive the dramatic cliff road in a private convertible or minibus, descend into the Blue Grotto by small boat, ascend Monte Solaro via chairlift for panoramic views, wander Piazzetta's boutique-lined square, and finish at Augustus Gardens overlooking the Faraglioni rock formations. All transport, ferries, and site admission are handled—just bring your appetite for lunch.

What to expect
Your guide collects you at Sorrento's main port and boards the fast ferry with you—the crossing itself offers first views of Capri's cliffs. Once ashore, you're transferred into a convertible or minibus (depending on group size) for a winding drive along the famous cliffside road; stops let you photograph the landscape properly. Weather permitting, a local boatman rows you into the Blue Grotto—the actual opening is tight and low, so expect a squeeze and a duck. The chairlift up Monte Solaro takes about 12 minutes; the summit gives you 360-degree views of the island, Naples, and the mainland. After a free lunch break, you'll explore Piazzetta's shops and cafés before heading to Augustus Gardens, a botanical space with planted terraces and unobstructed sightlines to the Faraglioni. The return ferry closes the day.
Good to know
Lunch is not included—budget for local restaurants around Piazzetta. The Blue Grotto closes in rough seas or high tides, so check conditions before booking. Wear trainers or grip-sole shoes for the chairlift and garden paths. The boat ride to the grotto involves crouching; anyone with mobility issues should ask the guide about alternatives.
