What to expect

Cosmopolitan Capri has been a magnet for the rich and glamorous for decades – everyone from Jay-Z and Beyoncé to Elton John has been spotted on the island's well-groomed shores. You'll glide over on a leisurely cruise to spend a few hours on the island.

Sailing from Sorrento, you'll pass the rugged beaches of Marciano and Mitigliano en route to the island. Once under the cliffs of Capri, if conditions are right, you'll get the chance to enjoy a swim. Come ashore at the Marina Grande in Capri.

Next, enjoy about three hours to explore on your own. Visit historic churches, shop in chic boutiques or grab a drink in a bar. Once back on board, enjoy a leisurely cruise back to Sorrento – sweetened by a taste of limoncello.

    The boat tour around the island of Capri itself, was worth the money. We had fantastic tour guides on the boat who made every second unforgettable. They couldn't do enough for us, down to the information, insider knowledge, and making everyone feel as comfortable as possible. We're a bit skeptical of tours in general, due to the time limitations, and sometimes feeling rushed. This wasn't anything like that. The free time on Capri was more than enough, and plenty of time to see the sites.

    It was ok. Booking disorganised. The driver Franco was terrible. Very scary. Do not use him. looking at phone continually. Overtaking when not safe including directly inti sun. Very bumpy down hills. Put younger women in front with him. I think he was showing off. Boat driver was good for us although I think it may have been too bumpy on way back for those up front.

    We loved being on a small boat with a smaller group of travellers, the tour guides were great, very knowledgeable and so kind and customer-focused. The boat was beautiful and clean, the driver pointed out many different sites of interest to us on our boat trip around the island and allowed us to stop and swim on our way back to Sorrento. We were a bit unsure of what to do when we arrived in Capri but it was nice to wander without any aim.

    Great experience, really fun and thought out. Small group size was very fitting. Skipper and mate were excellent, felt really safe and very knowledgeable. There was a miscommunication the night before which put me off guard but the TUI team have looked into it and resolved by the morning.

    The boat trip was very good , and the smaller Group was nice. Downside was the lack of detail to the trip ie : you needed to get further public transport buses up and down to Capri town and this was a hideous experience. It was chaotic and took an hour and a half to get back to the harbour with bus queues . This impacted the actual time you could spend in Capri town, never mind getting another bus from Capri town to Anna Capri, plus the chairlift . There simply was inadequate time all round.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our small boat trip to Capri! It was amazing to see Capri by boat and our guide was so friendly and very knowledgeable about where we should go on the island when we got there. Everything was so well timed and organised, we even got a chance for a swim before we got to Capri. We thought it was a good amount of free time on the island without feeling rushed. Ending the trip with a Limoncello was a perfect way to end a very enjoyable day out. Thank you!

Naples highlights bus and walking tour with coffee and pastry

Naples highlights bus and walking tour with coffee and pastry

From coastal views to centuries-old streets, this Naples tour packs a full day of culture and discovery. Departing from Sorrento, you'll kick things off with a scenic bus ride through the hills as your guide spins tales of Greek mythology and local legends. As local guide Luca puts it, “Naples doesn't just tell its story – it sings it through every piazza, pastry and palace.”The first stop is Mergellina, a breezy seaside district where you'll pause for a proper Neapolitan coffee and a warm sfogliatella – a crisp, shell-shaped pastry filled with ricotta that locals love. Then, it's on to the heart of Naples for a walking tour full of the main architectural highlights. You'll start with a stroll through Piazza Plebiscito, the city's largest and most iconic square. Next up is the Royal Palace, where 19th-century Bourbon kings once lived in serious style. You'll also pop into the Church of San Francesco di Paola, known for its grand design inspired by Rome's Pantheon. From here, it's a short walk to Galleria Umberto I – a 19th-century shopping arcade topped with a glass dome – before checking out the legendary Teatro San Carlo, the oldest continuously active opera house in Europe.The final stretch dives into the city's creative pulse. At Via Toledo Metro Station, contemporary art transforms public transport into a gallery. Then, it's on to Spaccanapoli, the narrow street slicing through the historic centre, buzzing with churches, palaces and the unmistakable rhythm of Neapolitan life.
