AMAZING!! Our tour through Capri and the different grottos was amazing! We were first picked up close to our AirBnB and taken to the port where we would board the boat. The You Know crew was very kind and friendly. We boarded the boat and took off to Capri with drinks. Along the way, our guide provided information, stories, background facts about Sorrento and Capri. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, the captain was also very friendly. They took us to different grottos, including the blue grotto. We were not able to go in because the tide was high. But visiting other grottos we were able to swim (the water was cold so only I swam). One amazing experience was swimming inside some of the grottos and being able to see the clear water and sea animals. We were dropped in Capri to explore at our leisure. They provided food and drinks throughout the trip. We then visited the iconic cathedral shape rock of Capri taking pictures and video. The crew made it very memorable and fun. We had a 11 month old baby with us and we felt very safe. Their COVID protocols also made us feel very safe and secure. We recommend this tour 100000%!

Well this was one of our highlights for our time in Europe. Our guide, Paolo, met us at the ferry port to start our exciting day. The ferry ride over was pleasant, then we were met by our driver, another great character. We visited the castle, Paolo was very knowledgeable. We stopped at several places for photos. We decided to stop for lunch, at our expense. Paolo took us to a great restaurant and I tried the local speciality of rabbit and spaghetti, nice. Paolo enaged with us and had a great sense of humour.
