The best Capri tours handle the ferry booking, island transport and return timing as a single managed package. This is especially important for cruise passengers, who cannot afford to miss the last viable return sailing.
A guided island tour typically covers the Piazzetta, Anacapri, Monte Solaro (by chair lift) and the coastal viewpoints. The Blue Grotto is included when conditions allow — and good operators are clear about their contingency plan for when it is closed.
A private Capri day gives you full flexibility on the island — which areas to linger in, whether to visit Villa Jovis, how much time at the Piazzetta. For a second visit or for groups who want their own pace, private is worth considering.
Highlights
- Capri Piazzetta: the iconic social hub of the island
- Blue Grotto: included when sea conditions allow
- Monte Solaro: chair lift to the island's highest point
- Villa Jovis: Tiberius's imperial cliff palace
Tips
- Confirm the operator's Blue Grotto closure policy before booking
- Book ferry tickets in advance — peak-season sailings fill quickly
- Confirm your last viable return sailing with your operator at the start of the day
- Check current ferry schedules before your cruise
