Thank you very much for this day on the island of Capri. Organization at the top everything was linked very quickly including the blue cave. Special mention to the two very friendly fratello guides. Only regret not having spent more time in Anacapri. Capri is now over. But soon!

Essential tour if you visit Naples, Capri is a very beautiful island, it is worth taking the boat trip. Perhaps the options available to see the Blue Grotto should be explained better

Super organization from the moment of entering the bus to the return. Good proportion of sightseeing time to free time. I recommend.
