sinova Posted February 27, 2009 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2009 You don't need a tour guide to see Capri Island. Take the tram up to La Piazzetta. There are plenty of shops there and great places to eat lunch. Also you can do the Blue Grotto from the dock at 1/4 of the cruise ship price. Take a taxi - convertavle (share with another couple) to Via Camerelle. There is a big open market up there and make sure you buy some lemoncello and a Capri sandal for the lady. The island is really small and you really don't need a tour guide to show you around........unless you are loaded with $$$$. Eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below you will find our pricing for our private tours. At this time we do not offer public tours but you may want to log into www.cruisecritic.com to see if anyone would like to join you in sharing expenses while still enjoying a small private tour.
