Real experiences from real travelers
The chairlift was the highlight of our Capri trip. Booking the tour through this site was seamless and saved us from figuring out the bus system ourselves.
Even as a local, I love taking friends here. The views of the Faraglioni from the top are the best on the island. Highly recommend the guided tour for the context.
The ride up is so quiet. It's a great break from the crowds in Capri town. The instructions for the meeting point in Anacapri were very clear.
We booked the small group tour that included the Blue Grotto and the Chairlift. It was perfectly timed and we never felt rushed.
Our guide was knowledgeable and the chairlift tickets were ready for us. No waiting in the sun at the ticket booth.
The view is amazing but be warned if you don't like heights—it is an open chair! Very safe, but definitely exciting.
The 360-degree views from Monte Solaro are worth every penny. We spent an hour at the top just taking photos.
Very easy to book. The confirmation came instantly. The guide met us right at the port as promised.
