10 Historical & Heritage Tours in Island of Capri That You Shouldn't Miss

October 31, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

The crags and grottoes of Capri have been dazzling visitors since the Ancient Greeks first settled the island. It’s easy to understand why artists and writers have been immortalizing Capri’s beauty and history for centuries. Climb aboard a wooden boat to tour the Grotto Azzurra, a cave filled with spectacularly blue water. Savor some gelato while you stroll around the harbors of Marina Piccola or Marina Grande, an ancient Roman fishing port.

Picked up on time from our hotel. The boat was nice and not too many people on it. Drinks provided throughout the trip and a sandwich, although we chose to eat in Amalfi. The tour assistant was friendly and spoke perfect English. Great way to see the different parts of the Sorrento/Amalfi coast in one day. Good amount of time spent in each location too!

Nico was out tour guide. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He was not like previous tour guides that I have had experience with in such that he did not push us towards any particular restaurant or stores. Rather, he gave us general advice and told us which places were not recommended and why. We felt that he had our best interests at heart and not looking for kickbacks like other tour guides.
