Saw lots of Sorrento. Nice leisurely pace. You only get a little cup of Ice cream. For the price we paid, we did not think it was good value.
I was very lucky to be the only guest on this tour. My guides knowledge of the historic sites was amazing. He took me to places I would never be able to find which was the reason I booked this trip. Just the right amount of time. I advise anyone to book to this. 10/10!
Our driver Alex was very professional and informative. He shared stories of the town and local favorites. We loved the hike and views. There was lots to see along the way from farm animals to home stead’s in the mountains. We would do the hike again. We also did the Ancient Greek God stairs. It was a cool experience. However, I would not do that part again. Our legs were shaking and had to to breaks often. I will add that we are a young family and in good shape. We enjoyed the whole experience. Would recommend
This was truly an amazing tour. The streets of Sorrento can be an overwhelming maze, and full of tourist traps. Hugo was a great guide to show the hidden gems of Sorrento, and the local spots. I highly recommend doing this tour when you arrive so that you can return to some of these locations!
Our tour was led by Adriano who was fabulous. He walked us around the main areas of Sorrento and gave us a great sense of the history of the area, got us 2 traditional treats to try and answered our many questions. We are so glad we took his tour!
Our tour guide was fantastic! Rosella did an amazing job! We all learned a lot about Sorrento! Nice tour of town!
Our tour guide was excellent and it was a wonderful, educational experience about the history of the town. I love these tours for getting to know the backstreets and local people. Would highly recommend this tour!
Nice 2 hours to walk around and explore Sorrento with Luciana. Stopped for gelato or sorbet, church being restored which was beautiful
The tour guide (Hugo) was excellent! He walked us through the downtown area as if it all belonged to him. He knew which doors to enter and which locals to greet. We met friends, business people and artists. We went to places that no tourist was seeing. It was excellent!
Martina was an Excellent, knowledgeable very friendly Tour Guide. We loved our Unrushed introduction to Sorrento, never having been here before. She knew so much about Sorrento & the surrounds. 5*+ thank you for organising.
