About this tour
Spend eight hours exploring Capri and Anacapri with a private guide who uncovers the island's layered past. This guided tour whisks you past the typical queues to Augustus Park, clifftop villas that captivated writers and artists, and the two distinct villages that define the island. You'll ride the funicular up to Anacapri's heights, wander narrow lanes perfumed by Mediterranean plants, and have flexibility to chase the Blue Grotto, take the chair lift to the island's peak, or linger over lunch at your own pace. Beats battling tourist crowds on the usual routes.

What to expect
Your guide meets you on-island and steers you through both towns on foot, pointing out the belle époque architecture and gardens that drew creative types here over centuries. You'll take the funicular between elevation changes, absorbing views across the Tyrrhenian Sea. The pace leaves room for detours—pop into Augustus Park to sit among lemon trees and bougainvillea, or veer toward the Blue Grotto if the mood strikes. Lunch and any boat trips to sea caves are yours to arrange. The route sidesteps the main tourist bottlenecks, though the island itself stays busy in summer. Plan three to four hours on your feet.
Good to know
Fast boat transport to and from Sorrento (around €40 per person) isn't included—book separately. Lunch is your shout. The funicular and chair lift are included. The terrain involves stairs and uneven pavements, manageable for most but steep in patches. Summer heat can be intense; bring water and comfortable walking shoes.
