All-Inclusive Capri and Anacapri with Blue Grotto Visit

A complete journey through the island of Capri, from its legendary sea cave to the heights of Monte Solaro.


This Capri full-day guided tour from Sorrento combines the island's most celebrated landmarks into a single, well-organized experience led by a knowledgeable expert. Covering both Capri and Anacapri, the itinerary balances guided visits with free time, ensuring a genuine feel for island life.

Departing from the port of Sorrento, the ferry crossing takes approximately 30 minutes and already offers panoramic views of the Sorrento peninsula. Upon arrival on the island, semi-private transportation connects you efficiently between key sites without the stress of navigating independently.

The Blue Grotto, Capri's most iconic natural attraction, is visited by rowing boat alongside the sailors who know these waters intimately. The experience inside the illuminated sea cave is one that remains with visitors long after the day ends.

The afternoon shifts focus to the towns themselves. Anacapri reveals a quieter, more traditional side of island life through its historic streets and local character, while Capri offers the celebrated Piazzetta, designer shopping along Via Camerelle, and the sweeping coastal panoramas of the Gardens of Augustus.

Tour Highlights

Enter the Blue Grotto by rowing boat and witness its extraordinary electric-blue light phenomenon.

Explore the historic center of Anacapri and discover the authentic character of the island away from the tourist crowds.

Optional chairlift ride to the summit of Monte Solaro, the highest point on the island, for sweeping views of the Gulf of Naples.

Visit Villa San Michele, the historic residence of author and physician Axel Munthe, perched above the sea.

Walk through the Gardens of Augustus to admire 850 varieties of plants and an iconic view of the Faraglioni rock formations.

Stroll along Via Camerelle in Capri town, lined with boutiques from the world's leading fashion houses.

Spend time at Piazzetta Umberto I, the social heart of Capri, before heading to the port for the return sailing.
