Traveler reviews
Best Tour for a Day in Capri
Patrick is an incredible expert and a fun guide. We had a wonderful time exploring Capri for the day. We recommend the chairlift and boat ride around the island. The orange slushies and gelato at the stall near the Gardens of Augustus were top notch.
Beautiful Day in Capri with Liv tours!
Maria Luisa was a fantastic guide. She was very well prepared and professional. We had a great day listening to her extensive knowledge of Capri. Her recommendations for shopping and food were spot on. We avoided the crowds with guidance of timing. Highly recommend using her for a semiprivate tour.
An incredible day trip to Capri from Sorrento
What a fantastic tour! Capri was amazing. If you have never been there, you have to go. One of the most beautiful places in the world. The tour was great, and worth very penny. There is a lot to choose from when you get there, so having someone to map out the day was priceless. We were always one step ahead of the crowd. Our tour guide was incredible. She had so much local knowledge, and knew all the right people. Recommend a fabulous place for lunch, that was affordable, and got us to the front of all the lines. My wife and I I could not say enough about this tour.
The Perfect, Stress-free Day in Capri
Marialuisa was our guide for our private tour of Capri. Touring with her was like hitting the “easy button.” She knew the best routes, timing and activities. She also arranged for all of our tickets, which really helped us maximize our day on the island. She knew all the operators on the island and made sure everything went seamlessly. Truly we had the perfect day on Capri. We took the first ferry, walked around the island, visited the gardens, went to Anacapri via a vintage car, took the chair lift to Monte Solaro, and had a wonderful meal at a restaurant she recommended in Anacapri. We also took a group boat around the island, which was a wonderful way to see Capri from a completely different viewpoint. Marialuisa was also a very interesting and kind person, who went out of her way to share her knowledge of Capri and Sorrento, and make us feel welcome. We absolutely loved spending the day with her. We went on a national holiday, (May 1), but thanks to her expertise, we completely missed the crowds. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.
