WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
Piazza Tasso is a central place and square in Sorrento in the south of Italy. The square is named after the poet Torquato Tasso. On the square stands a statue of S. Antonino Abbate, the saint patron of the city. Taste the delicious IGP lemon with sugar on top, before continuing the walking tour.
2.
Vallone dei Mulini (known in English as Valley of the Mills) is a historic valley in Sorrento, Italy. The flour mills, built from stone as far back as the 13th century. Its name derived from its beginning function: to grind grain. The valley originates from the release of waters into a tufa plain about 37,000 years ago, following the eruption of the Campi Flegrei. It was in operation until the beginning of the tenth century. In 1866, Piazza Tasso was established, and it caused the mill and the surrounding sea to be isolated. The building was closed and abandoned in the 1940s.
3.
Walk along the main street, Corso Italia and enjoy a delicious break tasting the traditional “tagliere” including a taste of local cheese and salami.
4.
Sorrento’s Cloister of San Francesco is an oasis of tranquility steps away from the historic town’s bustling central piazza of Sant’Antonino. Built on the remains of a 7th century monastery and dating back to the 14th century has a unique architecture. The cloister unites a religious complex of the seventh-century monastery and a late-medieval church, both dedicated to St Francis of Assisi and is a showpiece of various architectural styles from pre-Roman through Arabic to medieval. Spot the columns, each one differently decorated from one another and admire the majestic pepper tree, which stands superbly in the middle.
5.
Villa Comunale is a stunning property which stands on the gardens of the Franciscan friars. The Villa has a beautiful park of palm trees, holm, oaks, and century-old pines overlooking the sea. You could take breathtaking picture of the Gulf dominated by the Volcano Vesuvius.
6.
Marina Grande is Sorrento's fishing village, famous for its excellent seafood restaurants. It also has some small volcanic beaches with their typical black sand. In the past it was the only point of access into the town for the visitors coming from the sea. Bobbing fishing boats and pastel-coloured houses add character to a quarter that has been choosen as a set for several movies with Sophia Loren. Time to taste the delicious fried "cuoppo"; a paper horn that hides fried local fishes, calamari and prawns!

Gabriella was friendly and very knowledgeable. We got a good feel of the Sorrento area on this walking tour along with some history. The food part was a little disappointing (instead of sitting down to eat our fried seafood we were eating it on the go... kind of hard to do that). Loved touring the lemon garden and trying the lemoncello. Loved talking to the local artists on the process of the wooden boxes and creating the beautiful cameos. We liked the way it ended at an off the beaten path area with some good food (including gelato)and we added some wine. The owners at the shop were so friendly. We didn't realize we had booked a private tour, would've been more fun(and probably not as pricey) if we would've booked a group tour. It was just my husband and me.

Our guide was knowledgeable and we learned interesting information. That’s the positive. But… Our morning tour was canceled and we were combined into an evening tour. The group was very large and too unwieldy to get through the streets of Sorrento efficiently. As a result, the tour took longer than it should have. When we got to the lemon garden where we were supposed to have a tasting, it was already closed. Earlier, we were served cold fried fish as we arrived there late.

There was no spirit of camaraderie amongst the group members. It would help if the guide would introduce group members to each other by name upfront. It also would’ve been better if the guide didn’t spend so much time on her phone texting and making calls. Seems her phone time was well more than would’ve been needed to coordinate the food. (And given the cold fish, looks like any calls didn’t work.)

We had an interesting walk around Sorrento with Gabriella. Since it was soon after breakfast we did not really take full advantage of the street food we were introduced to, perhaps a later start would be good for others. She was very knowledgeable and went the extra mile with us - literally! - so we could find the market, which turned out to be not worth the effort in the end.

Good value for money but more of a history tour than a food tour. You do get to try a few food items but majority of the tour is visiting churches and historic parts of the town.

We did the guided walking tour in the evening in Sorrento and were very happy with our evening. Our guide was Kelly (from Yorkshire) who was very helpful and informative showing us behind the scenes of pizza making, old mill and ravine, history of the town, good shopping points, factory where they make those lovely souvenir wooden boxes, along with samples of the food and drinks that Sorrento are famous for. Overall a lovely experience was had by all. Great sunset! Would recommend.

Overall ok. The timing in the evening was a little late when ended. The food offered was just not adequate before diner time.

Our guide was great and very passionate but the tour's name is a little misleading (especially since we went on severak other food tour/experiences and they offered a lot of food). I know it says street food experience but it is truely should say with a small street food experience because it was very much more of just a tour.

You should add maybe as an option when you ask would you recommend.
