# Small Group Tour from Sorrento to Blue Grotto, Anacapri and Capri

**Guidekin's take:** Capri by fast ferry with a certified guide, the shuttle bus over the island, the Blue Grotto ticket and rowboat in the price, then Anacapri and Capri town, with a boat circuit substituted if the grotto is closed. Food, the Monte Solaro chairlift and gratuities are extra, and it needs moderate fitness. 4.95 from 294 reviews at €160 per person.

**Island day or boat?:** Choose Capri and Anacapri by ferry and shuttle, 8h at €160 per person, grotto ticket included; English only. 4.95, 294 reviews. Trade-off: English only; grotto visit depends on sea conditions. (last checked September 22, 2026)

## Overview

Join your guide and group at Sorrento's main port, setting off on a thrilling fast ferry ride to uncover the hidden paradise nestled in the Bay of Naples. 

By shuttle bus traverse the island's landscapes, including the iconic "Mamma mia road," to reach the crown jewel of Capri: Blue Grotto, where by a traditional local boat, experience the cave. Entering lying on your back, due to the cave's modest entrance, the moment you are inside, awe will render you speechless. 

Second stop will be Anacapri—an enchanting center with a charming historic district. Here, a must-do is the enchanting chairlift ascent to Monte Solaro, offering breathtaking panoramic vistas. 

Next on your itinerary is Capri's beating heart, "La Piazzetta." Immerse yourself in the bustling shopping area, indulge in an aperitivo, and meander through the unique Capri craft shops.
