What to do and see in Sorrento, Campania: The Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals

October 9, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

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.

we were traveling to Italy and I needed an electric scooter due to hip issues. I was put in touch with Freeedom Scooters through the Concierge at my hotel in Sorrento. They agreed to rent me a scooter for the entire stay in Italy, and even agreed for me to take it to Florence so I could use it on all of our tour group's day trips. They sent shipping material to my hotel in Florence so we could package it up for shipping back to Sorrento. What service! The scooter performed flawlessly! Thank you Freedom Scooters!

The historical atmosphere then changes shape, imbued with the smell of the lemons of the splendid Sorrento peninsula and right here, you can delight your palate through the tasting of this gold in a bottle inside one of the oldest factories of the whole coast. Continuing along the coast, you will begin to see wonderful and colorful little houses overlooking the sea, the emblem of the picturesque Positano, a true pearl of the Amalfi coast. A breathtaking spectacle, a spectacular panorama that will give you the last stop of the tour, through the view from the square to the city gates.

Nico was out tour guide. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He was not like previous tour guides that I have had experience with in such that he did not push us towards any particular restaurant or stores. Rather, he gave us general advice and told us which places were not recommended and why. We felt that he had our best interests at heart and not looking for kickbacks like other tour guides.
