Warm , welcoming and friendly experience.
If you want to experience Sorrento's local food this tour is a must .

Nice tour of Sorrento
We had a nice time on this tour.
One important tip for future guests: use the meeting-point address provided in the booking and enter it into your own map. We clicked on the interactive map in the Viator app, and it sent us to the wrong location even though the written address was correct. We ended up running around trying to find the meeting point and arrived about 10 minutes late. Fortunately, there was only one other couple on the tour, and they were incredibly kind and understanding.
Once we got started, the tour was pleasant and our guide was very nice. We did feel that the commentary was a little lighter than on some of the other food tours we experienced during this trip, and we would have enjoyed a bit more history, background, and storytelling along the way.
That said, the tour absolutely served a purpose for us. We like doing food tours early in a visit because they help us get a feel for the area, learn a little about the history, and discover places we may want to return to later. This tour did exactly that. We ended up going back on our own to revisit some of the places to eat and to purchase gifts.
I would recommend it to someone looking for a relaxed way to get acquainted with the town, especially early in their stay.

Cancelled with no explanation
Cancelled on me at last minute with no real explanation. And said I could take the tour the next day but we weren't going to be there the next day.

Lisa,
After several unpleasant messages, the last of which ended with “whatever,” this review was unfortunately not unexpected and not cancelled with no explanation. However, we do need to correct the facts.
Your September 14 reservation was cancelled by you through Viator on June 9 — more than three months before the tour date. It was not cancelled by us “at the last minute.”
Booking, cancelling and then attempting to rebook through a third-party platform such as Viator can become complicated, particularly when availability has changed. We do not control Viator’s booking system or the availability it displays after a guest has cancelled a reservation.
We also did not tell you that you could take the tour the following day. The next day was Tuesday, September 15, and we do not operate this tour on Tuesdays and have not done so for years.
We understand that travel plans can be frustrating when they don’t work out as hoped. However, the documented Viator booking history, our operating schedule and the message history are quite clear. Reviews should accurately reflect what occurred — particularly when stating who cancelled a reservation and what was actually communicated.

Great Sorrento Orientation
Great way to learn a little history and background on Sorrento upon arrival. The tour allowed us to get a sense of the main areas of the town. Our tour guide Tamara was informative and gave us just the right amount of space and free time to enjoy the company of our fellow tour couples. We highly recommend this tour at the beginning of your Sorrento stay. One suggestion would be to help identify the tour meeting place as directions were a little vague for newbies to the town. ie…meet at the yellow church in the piazza.

Ciao Ray,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and recommendation! We’re delighted that you chose to experience Sorrento with us at the beginning of your stay and enjoyed the history, food, and time getting to know your fellow guests.
And thank you for mentioning the meeting point — it’s a helpful reminder for future guests to please read the Viator voucher in full before arriving. The meeting instructions include both the location and a description of the landmark: the yellow church in Piazza Tasso, the only church directly on Sorrento’s main square. Approx size of Piazza Tasso: 300 ft long × 100–150 ft wide.
Piazza Tasso is the very heart of Sorrento and can certainly feel busy and a little overwhelming when you’ve just arrived, so having that landmark in mind makes finding us much easier.
Thank you again for joining us and for recommending the tour as a great way to begin a stay in Sorrento. We loved having you with us! Grazie mille xx Tamara

It was hard to hear our...
It was hard to hear our tour guide because she did not have any ear pods to give us and there were times I could not even hear her. Also, when the tour began, she didn’t even have a sign held up, saying Viator a lot of other Tours companies did so it made it hard to locate her.

Ciao Eileen, Thank you for your feedback. We would, however, like to clarify a couple of points for future guests.
Our tours are intentionally small and personal — there were only six guests in your group, including you. We pride ourselves on offering the opposite of the large cruise-style groups following flags and paddles, wearing stickers and listening through headsets. In fact, this small-group format is something our guests consistently tell us they specifically appreciate.
Regarding finding your guide, the Viator voucher provides the meeting point and detailed directions, what to use for Google Maps, including a description of the landmark where we meet in Piazza Tasso which is a small square. We strongly encourage all guests to read their voucher and meeting instructions in full before arriving. Unfortunately, arriving after the scheduled meeting time can make locating a tour that has already begun more difficult.
With a group of only seven people, we do not use earpieces or amplification, as the experience is designed to be conversational and interactive rather than a large-group walking tour. That said, if at any point you are having difficulty hearing, please let your guide know — we are always happy to adjust. Many guests bring or wear their own devices.
We appreciate the feedback and hope this clarification is helpful to future guests when choosing between a small, personal food tour and a larger traditional group-tour format Grazie mille xx Tamara

Ciao! Thank you so much for such a lovely review! It was truly a pleasure having you with me, and I’m so happy you enjoyed the experience. ❤️
I especially appreciate you mentioning the value and local authenticity, because that really is at the heart of what we do. I love sharing the foods and traditions of Campania, introducing our guests to wonderful local businesses and families, and taking you into special places like the private lemon grove that you simply wouldn’t discover wandering around Sorrento on your own.
Thank you for spending part of your time in Sorrento with us and for such a wonderful recommendation. It genuinely means a lot to me! 🍋🇮🇹 Grazie mille xx Tamara
