10 Tours in Sorrento That You Shouldn't Miss
Land of Mermaids. Land of Orange and Lemon Groves. Land of Colors. This small city in Campania has earned a plethora of alluring names. Famed for its sea cliffs, the town's steep slopes look out over azure waters to Ischia, Capri and the Bay of Naples. The birthplace of Limoncello liqueur offers some good diving, great sea fishing, boat cruises and appetizing restaurants. Excellent hiking trails cross the peninsula. Rent a car or take a taxi if the steep streets look too intimidating.

Our travel agent in the UK used Acampora for local arrangements on the ground for a private trip. They were superb - very reliable, knowledgeable guides, really helpful and went the extra mile to accommodate what we were interested in seeing/learning about, as well as to find great views and lunch places. Always on time and very professional. We were 2 people in a Mercedes people carrier and travelled on a day trip from Positano to Amalfi/Ravello/Scala, on another day Pompeii (4 hours with a guide!), and on our final day Herculaneum. We also spent a day without a car in Naples, at the Archaeological Museum (3 hours with a guide). The transfer from Naples to Positano was in the same Mercedes. Many thanks to Ugo the guide, Leonardo the driver, and also Giulia the guide!

I would like to thank Tour Guide Naples for the excellent service and professional employees. The Capri excursion was great with Ugo that he is very professional in his work and even a very nice guy with people.The Blue Grotto was amazing, I know that is not polite to say, but because of the pandemic we enjoyed every place we went in quiet without lining nowhere even at the Blue Grotto we were alone and my kids could even get the permission for a little swim into the cave !!! I want to thank you for everything and for sure if I will have other trip to Italy, you'll be the only 1 company to work with.

Would absolutely 100% recommend this class if you like to cook. We went as a young couple, the class ended up just being the two of us and it was brilliant. Anna and her Mum were so friendly, happy and had great sense of humours. It was super hands on, we cooked a three course meal ourselves learning all the secret Italian tips along the way. We made Gnocci, meatballs and lemon tart. The ingredients were so fresh. After the cooking finished (2.5 hours ish) we ate the meal. We also got a cocktail on arrival, wine and water throughout and limoncello to finish the night. Such a great atmosphere. We also got our extra food, aprons and some Italian bread to take away with us. JUST BOOK ! You won’t regret it.

We were so happy that we chose a day trip to Capri with Sal and Frank. During the trip to Capri, Sal has pointed out interesting landscapes. He’s very informative. We’ve learned a lot. On the return trip, we were treated by authentic delicious meal which was cooked by his mother. We felt the warmth during the trip and felt like we were treated like a part of their family and not just a client. We wholeheartedly recommend a trip with them. Hopefully, in the future we would get to do other trips with them again. Thank you again Sal & Frank, during our 2.5 weeks in Italy, spending the time with you guys was one of our best days!
