A small group tour is a bestseller and the most popular and least expensive type of sightseeing tour.

The route to Capri passes the Li Galli islands before circling the island to take in the Faraglioni rocks and then docking at Marina Grande. Once docked, passengers have a few hours of free time for sightseeing on Capri, including the famous Piazzetta and perhaps sipping the traditional lemon liqueur limoncello or other Mediterranean specialties, before heading back to Positano in the late afternoon.
