About this tour

Augustus Gardens entry is included, plus all ground transport and boat transfers. Bring spending money for lunch and any Blue Grotto visits, which operate subject to weather and sea conditions.
Highlights
- Ferry crossing to Capri's turquoise waters and rocky shoreline

- Local guide fluent in multiple languages (confirm availability)
- All-inclusive transport from Rome hotel to Naples and back
What to expect
You'll be collected from your Rome accommodation early morning and driven to Naples port for the public ferry to Capri. Once on the island, your guide leads you through narrow streets, past designer boutiques and family-run trattorias, up to Augustus Gardens where paths wind between Mediterranean plants and ancient Roman ruins. Expect steep steps, uneven terrain, and crowds during peak season. The pace allows time to absorb the island's character—not rushed ticking off landmarks. Return involves the same ferry route and private taxi back to Rome by evening.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. Pack a picnic or budget for lunch, as meals aren't included. The Blue Grotto is optional and paid separately; sea conditions and queues vary daily. Prams, strollers, and infant seats are available if travelling with young children. Moderate fitness needed for hillside walking.
