The experience
The day starts at Rome Termini station at 7 a.m., where you board a high-speed train to Naples. A driver meets you at Naples Central Station and takes you to the port at Marina Grande. From there, the boat departs for a tour around Capri's coastline. You'll enter the White Grotto and Green Grotto, pass under the Natural Arch, and see the Faraglioni rock pillars as the boat navigates the famous Arch of Love. The guide narrates the island's history and geography throughout the boat portion, pointing out landmarks like the Villa of Curzio Malaparte and the Lighthouse of Punta Carena.
After the boat tour, you switch to a minibus for the walking portion of the day. The guide leads you through Capri town and up to Anacapri, stopping at the Piazzetta di Capri and other main attractions. You'll visit the Garden of Augustus, which is included in the tour. Lunch happens at a typical island restaurant, and afterward you have free time to explore small shops where you can taste and buy limoncello, the island's signature lemon liqueur. This window also gives you space to wander on your own before regrouping.
The return journey mirrors the outbound route: minibus back to the port, ferry to Naples, then the high-speed train back to Rome Termini. The full day runs about 13 hours from start to finish. The boat tour option is available as an add-on choice at checkout. The standard option covers the walking tour, train, minibus transfers on the island, lunch and limoncello tasting, and Garden of Augustus entry.
Top questions

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What are the Green Grotto and White Grotto like on the boat tour?
Both are sea caves carved into Capri's cliffs that the boat enters during the coastal loop. The guide explains their geology and history as you pass through, and the boat slows so you can see the rock formations and water inside each one.
Is the Blue Grotto part of this tour?
No. The Blue Grotto is not included because of the long waiting times at the entrance. If you want to visit it, you can do so during your free time on the island, though you would arrange and pay for entry separately.
How much free time do you get in Capri and Anacapri?
The itinerary includes free time after lunch for shopping and exploring on your own. The exact length depends on the day's pace, but it's built in so you're not following the guide the entire time.
