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.
Interesting! Maritza gave an interesting tour with a lot of history of Sorrento. She was well-informed and engaging.
Excellent guided tour with “ugo” , great knowledge and variety of sights.
The Sorrento walking tour was a great taster to the start of our holiday. The guide Gulia was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. She pointed out a lot of history in Sorrento which we never knew. The two hour walk around was certainly worth the money. At the end of the tour she also pointed us in the direction of other Sorrento highlights.

Great to get away from the crowded main streets and see the ‘real ‘ Sorrento. Guide was excellent and very good English. Actual meet up was a bit disorganised - so many guides and different groups with visitors wondering if they were in the right place.
Our tour guide Hugo was excellent to say the least! This tour was packed with history, tips on some great restaurants, shopping etc.. . Our guide was a local who knew Sorrento like the back of his hand . There was so much to learn about along with some extra locations squeezed in especially the story about the mermaids A special trip was made to the Basilica Of St Antonino who is the patron Saint of Sorrento. This was the first time hearing about him. What an amazing Saint he is! if in need of prayer say his novena, the best part was the last stop a cup or cone of the most amazing Gelato!! 🍧.. This was a tour worth taking and I highly recommend it.
