We chose the 7-hour Capri tour. Avoiding the ferry crowds and having our own space to swim was incredible. Highly recommend the Prosecco at sunset!

Beautiful Experience

The boat was pristine and the guide very knowledgeable. The only downside was the Blue Grotto was closed due to waves, but the Green Grotto was a great alternative.
