See Capri by private boat with grottoes, swimming, pasta, Prosecco, and Faraglioni views. A practical review of value, comfort, and cave access.

“This was a great experience. We got to see beautiful caves, swim, had a great lunch, and and had a safe and smooth sailing. Highly recommend!! Skipped the blue grotto due to long lines which allowed more time on the boat. Great way to spend our last day in Capri before heading back to California.”

Make fresh pasta in Catania, cook Sicilian ragù, Norma, and pesto, then enjoy your meal with wine and limoncello.

“My friend and I arrived about 20 minutes late due to a transportation issue coming back from another city. The Viator page didn’t have direct contact info, so it was hard to reach the host with spotty international service. We were really grateful that Simone still welcomed us and that it ended up being just the two of us, which made it feel like a private class.”
