Local experience and authentic food. Appreciated that we didn’t eat pizza and gelato but delicious local food from the heart of Sorrento.
We had such a fantastic food tasting experience with Giovanni in Sorrento. From start to finish, he was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every tasting was delicious, and it was clear how passionate he is about local food and culture. We left with full stomachs and a much greater appreciation for Sorrento’s culinary heritage. If you’re visiting the area, this is an experience you shouldn’t miss. Thank you, Giovanni, for such a memorable evening. Five stars.
Absolutely great food tour in Sorrento. We tried many different foods and wine. Great introduction to Sorrento, we even revisited one of the restaurants the next day ! Don't hesitate to book !
Our guide Loris was very personable. We enjoyed all of the experiences doing walk a about to various places to taste some of the traditional foods found in Sorrento. My personal favorite was the market where the cheese we were served was made that day!
Giovanni was out tour guide, and it was only me and my partner on the tour, he text us asking if we wanted to change due to this, showing that he cares. He took us around his and the locals best spots for a wide variety of food such as pastry, pasta,limoncello. wine and coffee. This guide made our holiday well worth the money. I would recommend for everyone to do this food tour and try to get giovanni due to him actually being a genuine person and being really helpful.
Our tour guide was Giovanni and we had an incredible experience with him. He was very chatty, friendly and willing to get to know us, as it was just me and my boyfriend who had booked that time slot so it was an even more pleasurable experience. He took us around some lovely traditional restaurants and shops in Sorrento that had very delicious food and we really enjoyed learning about the history. Would definitely recommend this food tour!
