Sorrento Tours & Trips

Beautiful landscapes, pleasant sailing, nice team, excellent skipper. Two points must be mentioned : 1) The « walking with the gods » itinerary is splendid may be physically difficult for people over 70 and overweight (which is my case). Mountain shoes and walking poles are recommended. 2) Unfortunately counter-wind forced the skipper to use the engine most of the time.

This was a great tour, and everything was well organized. We were picked up from the airport, and brought directly to the hotel, Unconventional Sorrento which was lovely and charming with a beautiful patio and garden. The staff at the hotel were excellent and accommodating. The hotel offers a shuttle for 10 euro, for the duration of your stay, that will take you to the main piazza nearby. The shuttle ride really makes you feel like you’re in an Italian movie! The tour operators gave excellent recommendations for activities and restaurants when not completing the tour. Miriam was very responsive and helpful in the time leading up to the tour and while in Italy. She even got us a reservation at a wonderful and highly coveted restaurant nearby. We also really enjoyed the group tours to Capri, Amalfi, and Sorrento. All of our guides were kind and enthusiastic. Maria even did the whole Capri tour with a sore throat! It is good to know that the company offers day tours open to other travelers so you will be with different groups every day. This was a nice way to meet other travelers. Overall we had a great experience and would highly recommend this tour to other travelers.

I’ll admit that when I booked this tour, I was apprehensive about it, the itinerary, the guide, hotels etc. We were also expecting a small group of up to 10 people. However, When they say private that’s exactly what you’re getting a private tour. We began with a private transfer to the hotel Grand Oriente located in the heart of downtown Napoli. We began our tour in Naples with Sonia. She showed us downtown Napoli and took us on a food tour as well. That evening, our driver Antonio drove us to Sorrento and left us at the Central Wellness Hotel, a Smaller boutique hotel that wasn’t too far from the main square. The next day, our guide Mariano and the driver took us to the harbor to catch a boat to Capris. Mariano knew the ins and outs of the island and thus we were able to see and do everything on a timely schedule because of his great planning skills. Capris was amazing and beautiful. After a full day there, we caught the ferry back to Sorrento where once again a driver was waiting to take us to the lemoncello tour. He left us at the garden and let us know how to return to our hotel (maybe a 10 minute walk) when we were done. That tour was amazing and so relaxing after a long hectic day. It was the perfect end. Sadly, they can’t ship all their products so we did not get to buy as many items as we would have liked. The following day, Sonia once again along with Raffaele the driver drove us to Amalfi where we toured the town, did some shopping before driving to a winery off of Vesuvius for lunch and a wine tour then off to Pompei where she left us with another wonderful guide, Mattheo. Pompei was amazing and when we were done, Rafelle was waiting to drive us all the way back to Sorrento. A very long but well planned, enjoyable and educational day. The next day, Antonio, drove us to Atrani for an extended 2 days of rest and relaxation. The hotel chosen for us was Palazzo Ferraioli. Hotel was great and we had a great view of the water. Beware though, we had to take a lot of stairs to get to the hotel and just about every where in Atrani. Other than that, this trip which started with apprehension ended up being one of the most enjoyable experiences. We have been spoiled. It will be hard to go back to reality. Thank you Omar for all your expertise. We will never forget this wonderful adventure.
