Hi RS Fellow Travelers,
I am looking for points of view on whether the day trip to Capri is worth the time investment. We have a free day on the Best of Southern Italy tour from Sorrento as base. It will be later part of October.
We have booked the RS suggested MONDO company on their Sorrento day trip with some friends on the same tour.
I am seeing recent forum posts about elbow to elbow crowds and difficulty getting around the island from recent visits.
Transportation overwhelmed etc. Many are saying to skip Capri.
We would be most interested in a little hiking and the scenic views from the island itself and the boat ride. We booked Mondo to relieve some of the stress of the public ferry. Also would love a lunch with a view. Possibly do the chair lift activity at MT SALERO as well.
Anyone have suggestions or advice?
Is it just better to stay in Sorrento for this free time day of the tour?
Anyone been to Capri in October and have a feel for it? If you have been for a day trip would you do it again?
For those who stayed in Sorrento what did you do?
Many thanks in advance!
