Discover the hidden side of Capri with Bologna Tour’s private walking adventure from Parma. Wander iconic piazzas, take in dramatic sea views, and glide into the glowing Blue Grotto on an unforgettable day trip.
Situated in the rich gastronomic and cultural heart of northern Italy, Bologna Tour offers an intimate, private walking experience to the famed island of Capri. While based in Parma—a city celebrated for its Parmesan cheese and vibrant food scene—this tour transports adventurers southwards to one of Italy’s most iconic Mediterranean gems. Capri, located off the Sorrentine Peninsula, is renowned for its rugged coastline, historic piazzas, and stunning natural landmarks. This private walking tour carves a path through Capri’s enchanting streets, beginning with La Piazzetta, the island’s central square where locals and travelers mingle over espresso, framing the island’s spirited yet refined atmosphere.
The itinerary includes visits to the Gardens of Augustus, perched above the sea, offering sweeping panoramas that capture the island’s volcanic cliffs and the shimmering Tyrrhenian Sea. Visitors also venture to Anacapri, the quieter hilltop village whose calm lanes are shaded by Mediterranean flora and ancient stone walls. Perhaps the highlight is a boat ride to the Grotta Azzurra, or Blue Grotto, where sunlight filters through underwater cavities, casting a magical azure glow inside the cave. The geological interaction of light and water here is a rare natural spectacle, formed by the volcanic rock that characterizes the region.
This tour is uniquely positioned by Bologna Tour, a Parma-based operator bridging northern Italy’s rich tradition with Capri’s coastal allure. Its private nature means travelers avoid the crowds, experiencing the island’s charms with a personalized pace and local insights. This combination of inland expertise and seaside discovery sets Bologna Tour apart, inviting visitors to connect with Italy’s diverse landscapes and cultural depth. For those based in Parma or passing through, this offering provides an exceptional day-trip or extension of Italy’s outdoor adventure and cultural exploration landscape.
