Anacapri

Guide, Luigi, was excellent. He, with 49 yrs of experience, knew how to operate efficiently to get us on Blue Grotto boat. Upon getting shores, we were immediately transferred by bus, not by boat (too much waiting on boat will get sea sick), que was short when we arrived. and enjoyed the blue light sea surface inside the cave. Luigi took us roaming thru main area & side paths with a lot of history & plantation. If we were to do it ourselves, we would probably not tour as much, or need more days. We(party of 2) loved Capri & enjoyed very much. Highly recommend optional cable car rides to see island from high.

On the day of our visit, the weather was beautiful, and we were able to see the Blue Grotto, which I had long wanted to experience. However, the price of 90€ per person just for the cave tour was unexpectedly high. Since we had come all this way, I decided to go ahead with the tour. When we left the harbor, we took a motorized tour boat to the cave entrance. Once there, we transferred to a small, hand-rowed boat with a capacity of three people. Because the cave entrance ceiling is very low, we had to lie down to enter. The tour itself lasted only about five minutes, and then we were at the exit. I ended up only seeing the ceiling, and inside the cave, it was completely dark except for the light from outside. Fortunately, I was able to pay by card, which was a relief because I had brought some cash, but it wasn't enough. The guide for the trip to Capri clearly put a lot of effort into making sure we were comfortable. However, the instructions for the morning meeting point were unclear, and I got lost, so I think that needs improvement.

We were very lucky today; we made it to the Blue Grotto. Otherwise, it might have been closed due to high tide. The only downside was waiting in line for an hour to enter the Blue Grotto. The sun was very strong and hot, making the wait feel endless. The local guide provided professional explanations, and the tour schedule was well-arranged. During our free time in Anacapri, I recommend taking the cable car to the observation deck on the mountain at your own expense. The scenery is beautiful on a clear day and well worth it.

The trip was wonderful!!! and the best part was the tour leader Gabriel. He gave us insider tips and helped us to see the best attractions on the island.
