Sorrento Tours & Trips

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.

A great range of activities and local living made it a very relaxing experience. Enjoyed the hospitality of our host family and the shared meals each night.

Overall TourRadar was wonderful to work with and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Having a private tour was great. Our drivers and tour guides (Rafella, Francesa, and Patty) were fantastic! And the cooking class at Fattoria Terranova was the highlight of the trip. For the most part the accomodations were pretty good, but a couple not up to expectations. See below: 1. Luckily the hotel (Futura Congress center) in Naples was for one night, it was okay, but was a bit tired looking and not a 4 star. Would not recommend 2. Hotel So Lifestyle Sorrento was very friendly and clean and had all the amenities. However, it was very sterile & lacking warmth. with no Italian charm! It was more Scandinavian minimal. There really was not an adequate lobby to lounge in as the only seats were a hard bench and hard table chairs. The location was not ideal since to go into Sorrento city center it was a 25-30 minute walk or take a cab at 20 euros one way. My husband & I are in our late 70's so the cab was better for us. Also the restaurant was rather limited and not conducive to eating for dinner. It would have been better to have stayed in one of the multitude of lovely hotels closer to the city center and that had some Italian warmth. 3. The Regina Cristina in Capri was PERFECT!!. It was beautiful, charming, had a wonderful restaurant and was rather close to everything. So of the 3 hotels, Regina was what I would call a 4-5 star and would recommend that type of hotel for your future bookings. The only other recommendation is that the boat ride could have been better. The tour itself was okay and beautiful, but the captain, although very nice spoke very little English and could not explain what we were seeing. Also the boat was too small and uncomfortable. Overall the trip was wonderful and I have already recommended TourRadar to our friends and would use you again. Thank you!
