Traveler reviews
Beautiful day in Capri
We had an amazing day touring Capri. Patrick was so knowledgeable and made the day really fun for us. Thanks Patrick! We hope to get you as our guide again sometime!
Our Amazing Day in Capri
Patrick was warm, friendly, prepared, funny, and always one step ahead of the crowd. He was extremely responsive and flexible to our changing needs while delivering a top notch tour full of interest and excitement. He’s also pretty well connected to other before around the island, making it easy to jump ahead as a group. For example he found us a great restaurant for lunch with an incredible view and got us there before the rush. We had a beautiful experience.
Highly Recommend!
Patrick, our guide, was outstanding!! He was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting stories and facts about Capri. He took care of everything for us. He was very thoughtful of planning ahead to make sure we had a good experience. He was very willing to adjust the trip to meet our needs and things we wanted to see. We highly recommend Patrick as your guide for this day trip to Capri!!
Natalia is great!
Natalia was a wonderful guide! She was very knowledgeable and very nice! She made our visit to Capri wonderful!
100 percent recommend
I would not hesitate in recommending this tour. To start, Natalia communicated with us the night before, set up an easy meeting place, and got us on the boat. Once on the island, she suggested we swap the Blue Grotto for a general boat tour, which was the perfect suggestion with our four year old. She got us to every site before the crowds set in, so we never had to wait in the heat. The whole day was perfectly choreographed. She suggested a wonderful place for lunch and for ice cream. Her explanations of sites on the island were interesting and educational and she is a lovely person and a pleasure to spend the day with. I made the most out of my time in Capri because of this tour with Natalia.
