Worthwhile experience! - We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide Mario was extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions. Seeing the detailed puzzle inlay pictures and meeting one of the only 2 artists in the world still doing it was fascinating. The tour ended with a tasting of pestos, oils, & limoncello! Worthwhile experience. We loved Sorrento!

inside Sorrento - Marco gave us an detailed insight into the town of Sorrento and shared his extensive knowledge of the history behind it. Well paced with excellent points of interest from all parts of the area. The food and limomcello samples were second to none and I feel I have seen parts of the town that would be missed otherwise. I highly recommend this tour, great value, good fun and educational all rolled into one.

Just ok... - We booked to get an overview of Sorrento because we only had two days. The tour included a little more history than I was interested in but we did enjoy seeing the marina and small little alleys with shops which helped us gain perspective of the area. Enjoyed learning about the lemon growing and limoncello process but I did think the tasting was very rushed and would have been nicer if we weren't just all standing in a line in a the store with other customers. It might also be nice for the guide to use headsets so all could hear and he could point things out as we walked.
