Hoping to visit the most fashionable island in Italy? Check out the best Capri tours from Naples selected by an Italian, all of which offer an idyllic experience of sailing, sunshine, and culture.

Capri is a picturesque island located just off the coast of Naples and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region. With its breathtaking views, crystal-clear waters, and stunning natural beauty, it’s no wonder that so many people flock to Capri each year.

Capri might very well be my favorite place in this region of Italy. It’s true that it can be crowded if you visit in the high season, but it’s also really easy to escape the crowds in Capri, especially if you head to Anacapri or book a private boat tour.

I always recommend spending at least one night in Capri to really soak it in, but if time is limited or accommodation in Capri is out of your budget (Capri is expensive!), taking a tour is one of the best ways to see everything the island has to offer. 

Whether you’re interested in history, culture, or soaking up the sun, there’s a tour for everyone.

In this post, we’ll be exploring the best eight Capri tours from Naples. We’ll take a look at what each tour has to offer, and why it’s worth considering. 

I’ve been running this blog for almost 10 years (!) and traveling full-time for the last five. You can say I’m a bit of an expert in selecting the best activities and experiences that offer the best quality for price – especially when it comes to Italy, since I was born and raised there!

So, whether you’re a first-time visitor to Capri or a seasoned traveler, keep reading to discover the top tours to add to your itinerary.

I use and recommend Viator and Get Your Guide to book tours around the world. I especially recommend both platforms for their cancelation policy, which allows you to cancel most activities up to 24 hours in advance and get a full refund.
