Blue Grotto: Tours & Tickets

The service from the meet & greet staff and family was so warm even though we literally saw them only for the short time it takes to drive us to and from the hotel and during the wait for the boat at the marina. Looking at the boats that the family-owned company operates, we were a teeny weeny bit jealous that we weren't actually on one but we did book for a terribly small number of people (just the two of us) and rather last minute (the day before) and yet, they came up trumps and supllied us a good captain and a pretty good boat if a little smaller than their usual. The Captain was really informative about all the sights we went to see even though we could see he struggled a little on some of the translation. He made good recommendations and changes in the itinerary in view of the timing that we had. Would definitely sail with Restart again (and with a larger group) next time!

We got picked up from our hotel promptly on the day (got a confirmation e-mail the day before) and driven to Marina Grande, where we got checked in and boarded our boat - 18 footer. It was 12 of us altogether. Our skipper Marino was great and provided commentary throughout the trip which started with a visit to Grotta Azura where we had to wait for a bout 30-40 minutes because of congestion, but it was an amazing experience once we got inside the cave. Then we got to Capri for 3.5 of sightseeing (company can arrange transport for those who wish). In the afternoon we completed our tour around the island and saw the ret of the grottoes, swam in the crystal waters, and enjoyed complimentary drinks (soft+beer), snacks, champagne and limoncello, before returning to Sorrento. They also provide towels and packed lunch (tomato and mozzarella ciabatta). A most enjoyable trip.

Our boat and crew were amazing. We were the first ones at the blue grotto, unfortunately the tides were not on our favor so we had to leave rather than sitting there and waiting. Our guide gave us good recommendations on what to see in Capri! After 4 hours on land, we went back on the boat and tried the blue grotto again but the line was way too long. So instead our crew took us to the other grottoes and stopped at a good spot to swim!! On our way back to our port, our crew took us around the island and even under the arch! He pointed out all the points in Capri and narrated while we were going back. Our guide was very funny!! Overall, the experience was amazing and highly recommended.

Unbelievable experience! Our tour guide Flavio was exceptional, he spoke to everyone to make us feel comfortable and made sure that everyone got to what they wanted to do. We were fortunate enough to do all the main things of Capri; blue grotto, main strip of Capri, chairlift in Anacapri, Faraglioni, green grotto and white grotto. Truly an unbelievable experience and would definitely recommend this tour, especially with the tour guide Flavio. Worth paying a bit extra for this tour.

Real value for money. I wish to commend Mariangela as a tour-guide who is very knowledgeable and friendly. Hotel pick up is a must, an excellent lunch was included. The Blue Grotto was amazing and the sailors on the small boats taking you into the grotto are very friendly and sing vey well.
