Top Sorrento Day Trips - page 2

This excursion was worth every penny! Our boat had 10 passengers not including the guide and captain. We took off from the marina and headed to the blue grotto which we all decided again doing due to the extra fees, the tight quarters of the rowboat you needed to transfer to access the cave and the excessively long wait time. Instead, we were taken to the green and white grottos which were even more amazing and were able to get close enough in the charter boat. Antonio and Giuseppe were simply amazing with the knowledge of the sea and the history of the area around Capri. We could not have asked for a better crew!!! There was extra time to swim by skipping the blue grotto and we all took advantage of that fact. It was an unforgettable experience. *** A few things to note. Booking was simple, but the rest was slightly confusing. On the excursion day you are asked to meet at the entrance of the parking garage/bus depot in town, which was easy to navigate to. Buses would come in and the driver would call out names for the tour, it was very busy and it was not easy hearing the names being called which caused confusion. After being called to the correct bus we traveled through many back roads and were let out on a random street corner, there was very little guidance of what we were doing and where to go. A single tour guide had us follow her though back allies to an elevator that took us to sea level and through a dark tunnel. We were greeted by another guide that directed us to the registration/ticket booth. We checked in swiftly, but there was a 20,00-euro fee that must be paid in cash at the check in time. An ATM is available on site, but it was not working at the time. This was not communicated during booking so please be sure to carry enough Euros with you. After that we waited until our group was called, boarded the boat and the rest was smooth sailing. It was a fantastic day!

Alessandro was great and planned the trip well. We had plenty of time to explore in Almafi and Positano and instead of short stops for swimming, he planned one longer stop that was perfect! We unfortunately ran into an issue with the boat and had to limp to the port in rougher weather. Overall I give him and the tour high marks.

This was an absolutely brilliant experience. Francesco and his family are such beautiful hosts! This is a working farm with a tour explaining how they produce lemons, wine and olive oil, followed by a pizza making class cheese making and (a lot of) wine tasting. If you want an authentic and supremely fun Italian experience then this is one of the best activities you can book!

Wonderful day with our driver. He was very knowledgeable about the history and present day Amafi coast. Beautiful areas. Safe driver making me feel very comfortable as we travelled through the Amafi coast. Restaurant recommended in Ravello was very good with an amazing view. Thank you for an enjoyable day!

My husband and I booked this boat tour to explore the Almafi coast & Capri. Sharon was our guide and she did an amazing job at explaining and showcasing different landscapes and their history. Even though the weather was not the best that day, Sharon and our boat captain Kiko tried their best to give us and others a good time. My husband got a little sea sick toward the end of the trip due to strong waves, and Sharon made sure that he was ok and well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend this tour- one note is the weather in May can be unpredictable, so you might not be able to visit all the places in the itinerary.

We had a great time on this trip! Mario, our captain was great! He was knowledgeable of the island and made the trip fun. He gave us good caprese sandwiches when we got to the island and gave us some lemoncello on the boat! We had about 4 hours to explore the island. I recommend going to the Garden of Augustus and the beach at marina piccolo. Other people on our tour went to the top of the mountain and said the views were amazing. Totally recommend!

Lovely boat ride with beautiful scenery around the island. Once on the island the bus ride to the 2 towns is a must. (Very difficult to walk). The towns are filled with shops and great places to eat. Bus driver and tour guides all kind with great sense of humor and share history and knowledge of the area. The day flies by.

What an amazing day truly enjoyed! We did have trouble finding the meeting spot, and couldn't pull up our reservation Victor or login, but thank goodness the tour company called us to see where we were, and guided us to the meeting location. Stefano was our skipper and took fantastic care of us. Stefano made sure we got close enough to all the grottos to actually enjoy them and take pictures, gave us explanation on the areas and what we were seeing. His driving was smooth and enjoyable. He made sure we had a couple good opportunities for swimming (the color and warm water so worth it), and guided us options how to enjoy the Island of Capri. We had plenty of time to walk up to the top of Capri, enjoy the shops, grab a bite, walk down, and swim at the beaches near the docks (again beautiful water). Had another swim off the boat before heading back to Sorrento. Plenty of water and beverage refreshments on the boat, the limoncello of course was delicious. Boat had a changing area and restroom if needed. Arrived back at a reasonable hour in the afternoon to enjoy cocktails on the Sorrento port beach period highly recommend this tour and our Stefano.
