A Private Day Tour to Capri

Capri toursThe dramatic island of Capri has been a popular leisure destination since Roman times and makes for a fantastic day trip for travelers visiting the Amalfi Coast in Italy.

Artisans of Leisure arranges private tours featuring the best of the island, including seeing beautiful scenery, touring the historic highlights and time to shop and enjoy the outstanding local cuisine.

After journeying by boat from Italy’s mainland to Capri, our tours usually begin with an exploration of the hilltop town of Anacapri. Our guides take travelers to favorite places such as the historic Villa San Michele, an early 20th-century villa known for its extensive gardens adorned with antiquities and panoramic views of the island, and the Church of St. Michael, known for its hand-painted tile mosaic floors.

There’s also plenty of time to shop for upscale local specialties such as jewelry…
