Private Guided Island Experience
6-Hour Private Tour of Capri with Certified Guide
Discover the island that has captivated the world, from its storied piazzas to the heights of Monte Solaro.
A private tour of Capri offers a rare opportunity to explore one of the Mediterranean's most celebrated destinations with a certified guide devoted entirely to your group. Over six and a half hours, you will move from the sea-level drama of the Faraglioni to the panoramic summit of Monte Solaro. Every moment is curated, every story told by an expert who knows the island deeply.
Capri has drawn artists, royalty, and travelers for centuries, and the reasons remain as compelling today as they ever were. The island's layered history, its distinct architectural character, and its extraordinary natural scenery combine to create an experience that goes well beyond the typical day trip.
Traveling by hydrofoil from the mainland, your journey begins the moment you board. Your guide sets the scene before you even arrive, turning the crossing itself into an introduction to the island's legacy and landscape.
The itinerary balances iconic landmarks with unhurried time to absorb each setting. From the celebrated Piazzetta to the windswept chairlift ride above Anacapri, this private tour moves at a pace that allows genuine discovery rather than a rushed checklist of sights.

This private tour operates on the island of Capri, located in the Tyrrhenian Sea at the southern end of the Gulf of Naples, in the Campania region of southern Italy. Capri is accessible by hydrofoil or ferry from Naples, Sorrento, and Positano, and sits approximately 5 kilometers from the tip of the Sorrentine Peninsula. The island is divided into two municipalities: Capri town, known for its Piazzetta and designer boutiques, and Anacapri, the quieter upper village from which the Monte Solaro chairlift departs. At 589 meters, Monte Solaro is the highest point on the island and offers unobstructed views across the Gulf of Naples toward Vesuvius, the Amalfi Coast, and the Phlegraean Fields. The Faraglioni, three dramatic limestone stacks rising from the sea on the island's southeastern edge, are among the most photographed natural formations in the Mediterranean. Capri falls within easy day-trip range of Naples (approximately 50 minutes by hydrofoil) and Sorrento (approximately 20 minutes), making it a central stop on most itineraries covering the Bay of Naples and the Amalfi Coast.
