Exploring Capri can be a dream come true, but with so much to see, a guided tour offers a structured way to hit the highlights without missing the small details. We haven’t personally taken this tour, but based on comprehensive reviews and the itinerary details, it’s clear that this experience offers a genuine taste of the island’s charm.
What makes this tour appealing? First, you’ll enjoy the guidance of local experts who bring the island’s sights to life—knowledgeable guides like Antonio make all the difference. Second, the opportunity to see iconic sights such as Anacapri, Mt. Solaro, and the Augustus Gardens with panoramic views is hard to beat.
A potential consideration is the weather—since the tour is outdoor-heavy, rain can disrupt the experience or cause cancellations. This is worth keeping in mind if you’re visiting in uncertain weather conditions.
This tour is best suited for travelers who want a balanced mix of sightseeing, local insight, and comfort—perfect if you prefer an organized day that covers the main highlights without the hassle of planning every step yourself.

The Itinerary in Detail
The tour begins at Dock 0 at the Port of Capri, making it very convenient for travelers arriving by boat. Once the group assembles, your guide, who speaks English and Italian, will escort you onto a minibus for a short ride to Anacapri. This small, quieter town often gets overshadowed by Capri’s more famous Piazzetta, but here you’ll find charming shops and a slower pace that allows you to soak in local life.
From Anacapri, you’ll have some free time to explore before heading to the highlight: the chairlift to Mt. Solaro. Riding the chairlift offers a quick yet breathtaking ascent, providing spectacular views of the island’s rugged coastline and the sea beyond. Many reviews mention how memorable this part is—“the views from Mt. Solaro are unforgettable,” and it’s worth the ride just for the scenery.
After a scenic break, you’ll enjoy a light lunch—a nice touch that balances the day, giving you energy for more sightseeing. Then, a minibus will take you to the Augusta Gardens, perched above the sea with sweeping views of the Faraglioni rock formations. Here, you can stroll through beautifully maintained gardens and take in the picture-perfect vistas that have made Capri famous worldwide.
What’s Included and What’s Not
The tour includes a live guide, transportation inside Capri, entry to the Augustus Gardens, and a light lunch—a package that offers good value considering the logistics and access it covers.
However, it does not include hotel pickup or drop-off (so plan your arrival at the meeting point), additional activities, or personal expenses. The tour is designed to maximize sightseeing while keeping things simple, so if you’re craving a more flexible or customized experience, you might want to look elsewhere.
The Meeting Point and Timing
Meeting at Dock 0 makes it straightforward to find—just arrive at least 10 minutes early. The tour duration is approximately 6 hours, but check the specific starting times when booking. Keep in mind that it may be canceled in case of rain, so good weather planning is essential.

Reviews highlight knowledgeable guides as a major plus—“Antonio was very knowledgeable and made it a fun experience,” as one reviewer noted. The chance to explore Capri’s top sights in one day appeals to those who want a guided, structured experience. Some travelers mention the crowd at the Blue Grotto being too busy; however, the tour’s alternative visits, like the private Blue Grotto, provide a more exclusive feel.
How It Compares to Other Experiences
While this tour focuses on land-based sightseeing, similar options include boat trips or combined island excursions. The price of $118.95 per person reflects a fair value, especially considering the included entrance fees, lunch, and guided commentary. If you’re looking for a comprehensive yet manageable way to see Capri, this hits the sweet spot.
The small group size enhances the experience, allowing for more interaction and a less hurried pace. It’s a great choice if you prefer an intimate atmosphere rather than large bus tours.
Final Thoughts: Is This Tour Right for You?
This walking tour offers a practical route into Capri’s most scenic and culturally rich spots. The combination of guided commentary, scenic vistas, and manageable pacing makes it ideal for first-time visitors or anyone short on time.
The focus on authentic experiences—from wandering the streets of Anacapri to relaxing in the Augustus Gardens—means you’ll get a true sense of what makes Capri special. The inclusion of a light lunch and parking at key points adds to its convenience and value.
If you’re looking for an organized, scenic, and engaging day that balances guided insights with free exploration, this tour will serve you well. It’s particularly suited for travelers who appreciate guided comfort and beautiful views, and don’t mind a weather-dependent schedule.
Remember, in rain, the tour may be canceled, so having a backup plan or flexible schedule might be wise. But overall, this is a well-rounded way to enjoy the highlights of Capri without the stress of navigating alone.
