Review of a private Sorrento to Capri speedboat tour, including grotto stops, Capri free time, costs, timing, and practical booking advice.
“The tour matches the description. Our captain didn’t speak English which is fine with us but if you want to understand the history behind the sights and you don’t speak Italian, this might be a challenging tour for you. I am reducing to 4 stars because it was me and one other woman on the tour. The night before the tour the captain’s girlfriend attempted to follow me on instagram, which she presumably found via my phone number. After I didn’t accept, one of her friends tried to follow me. This was confirmed via the captains photo matching her instagram photo and the name of the captain’s WhatsApp profile matching…”
