A bespoke private guided walk through Capri's most storied corners — La Piazzetta, the Gardens of Augustus, Via Krupp, and Belvedere Tragara — with an erudite local expert who brings centuries of island life vividly to the surface.
What to expect
Begin at La Piazzetta, Capri's elegant café-lined 'living room', before weaving into the laneways of the historic centro. The Gardens of Augustus deliver a jaw-dropping terrace view over the Faraglioni stacks and the vertiginous switchbacks of Via Krupp — a road blasted from sheer cliff by industrialist Friedrich Krupp in 1902. Your guide decodes the island's layered past: Roman emperors, 19th-century artists, and the jet-set élan that made Capri the world's most glamorous island. The walk concludes at Belvedere Tragara, a panoramic headland where the Faraglioni seem close enough to touch.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes — Capri's lanes are paved in smooth stone and can be slippery. Tours depart from Marina Grande or Capri town by arrangement. Duration 3–4 hours. Pre-book at least 48 hours in advance; the operator also offers food and wine add-ons on request.
