Trip of a lifetime to Capri. This boat tour was an ideal combo of guided explanation of the entire circumference of the island plus lots of free time to do whatever we want on the island.

A really fun day out for us all - we're a family of four, with daughters aged 11 & 9 - particular highlight was taking a swim off the boat in the calm waters around Capri

We have seen much more than expected. Giovanni and his crue went out of their way to make it the most memorable trip on the Amalfi coast.

Everything was ok we start on time all by programmed from the beginning . It worth to money . We did enjoy a lot . Thanks.

The boat team was more than excellent. We went swimming, made it to the Blue Grotto and they were simply "fun" to be with.
