Capri is one of the best one-day excursions for student tour groups. Spectacular views, affordable dining, shopping, and history make Capri a destination well worth including.

In almost every case, local guides will escort student groups through Capri, meeting them at the marina. Arriving in Capri early allows visitors to experience as much of the island as possible. Visitors can take the funicular railway to the Piazzetta to begin a walking tour of Capri or use mini buses that will take visitors to the chair lifts that take visitors to the summit of Mount Solaro.

A one-day visit to Capri usually can accommodate both a visit to the summit and a brief cruise along the island after lunch but a visit to the summit is best planned when the waters are rough, eliminating the cruise option altogether.

The Piazzetta is the chief focal point of Capri, surrounded by a number of restaurants to fit any budget. It should be noted, however, that restaurants facing the marina below tend to be more moderately priced than those in Capri itself. The walking tour begins at the Piazzetta, which is also the meeting point at the end of the tour.
