Top 10 Walking Tours in Sorrento, Campania

September 1, 2021 Joeann Galban

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.

The tour guide was knowledgeable and provided detailed information taking us do all the major sites including the Colosseum, Sistine Chapel, Pantheon and others. The trip was well planned for us and all in all a delightful experience. Of note for cruise passengers that sign up for a Rome tour, abort a 70 mile drive,the driver is not allowed to leave the vehicle to offer any guide services and a separate guide must be separately arranged or you are dropped off on your own at the various sites. Our tour provided for complete coverage seamlessly. Other tours may offer complete service but I found none that met our needs

My husband and I booked this tour as part of our holiday to Sorrento in August 2020. We had the most amazing day on Capri which coincided with my 40th Birthday! Josephine was so knowledgeable and friendly and she was open to us adding our own touch to the tour. We highly recommend booking this tour with Josephine! Our day was an equal mix of visiting the parts of the Island that Josephine thought we would like the most and Josephine asking us if there were specific points of interest that would like to see. We took the chairlift to Ana Capri and took in the breathtaking views from the top , we visited Villa San Michele where we saw the Sphinx we also took a boat trip around the island. Josephine is very accommodating and makes sure that you have the best day. Grazie Josephine for a memorable 40th birthday and for making sure we had the best day! A presto!

We were picked up from our ship in Naples and taken by van to Sorrento for our gourmet tour. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. The tour included a stop at an olive oil producer where we tasted various products and toured the facility. We stopped at a lovely restaurant in the hills for a demo on mozzarella making /tasting, and a fantastic lunch. Then on to a winery for wine tasting. Finally, we learned to make gelato and tasted the product. Along the way, we had great scenery. Very well planned tour!

Lose yourself in the magical evening atmosphere of Sorrento at Christmastime by discovering truly innovative winter fare. Sample hearty and authentic Neapolitan cuisine typically and lovingly served up in a southern Italian 'casa' over the festive season. Our picturesque town comes alive when enhanced by the myriad of Christmas lights that lend a magical quality to the cobbled streets of its historical centre. What better ambience then, to sample truly traditional fare and generous amounts of 'Christmas spirit'. No rush, no bites on-the-go, dinner is a cultural expression in Italy and we kick-back and relax over five luscious, Christmassy courses, aperitivo and a mini wine tasting.  A one-of-a-kind experience, this food tour is a perfect insight into some of the delectable time-honoured festive dishes and Christmas traditions the area has to offer.

Our group of 6 friends spent 2 weeks in Sorrento in September 2019, We decided to book The Gourmet Girls on our 2nd night as we thought I would be a great introduction to the city. On booking I wondered if it was a bit pricey as I had not done one of these before and wasn't sure what to expect. It exceeded all our expectations. We were joined by an american couple and it was good to have someone else to banter with. The resuraunts we visited all went out of their way to make us feel welcome and supplied plenty of wine and food for us to try, local dishes I would never have had if I was choosing off a menu. Buffalo ragu stands out along with stuffed courgette flowers and mozzarella with lemon leaves. All beautifully presented. We were then happy to visit these restaurants on other days and were met with the same hospitality. nothing was too much trouble for the girls who chatted away happily through the night and where just as chatty when we bumped into them around town later in the week and told us another great place to eat. We had a great evening and are stll talking about it 6 months later.

We took a Capri all day tour from Nerano bay. We had Maria as our tour guide. She was brilliant and very helpful. She customised the tour based on our needs & requirements. We were travelling with our 8 years old daughter & we were never rushed. She also helped us to cover most of Capri & Anacapri including a trip to Blue Grotto, the Chairlift to the mountain top & most of the other attentions. We would highly recommend her to have as a Tour 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.

We found Nino's tour by chance while browsing online for options in Sorrento. The time spent walking around the town went by so fast. Nino has an unique approach and way of immersing you in Sorrento's history and traditions. He showed us places off the beaten track and traditional non touristic shops. The tastings we did were amazing, the food was out of this world. We really enjoyed his company, knowledge and kind way of showing us around. Highly recommended, you will not regret this tour experience! Grazie mile Nino!

Prior to the virus, we were staying in the Sorrento area with friends and decided to take a couple of tours. I have been to Pompeii several times so we chose Herculaneum. A hidden jewel, spectacular ruins! Smaller and more manageable with better conservation than Pompeii, you really feel like you are walking around a Roman town in the 1st century. I believe that if you have a guide you really get the full experience of what life was like. Our guide, Vanessa was extremely knowledgeable and her English was impeccable. More importantly, when you have a private tour with a smaller group, like ours, you get the opportunity to get all of your questions answered. It is more flexible and relaxed. When you are on vacation it’s important to spend your time wisely!
