Piazza Tasso

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.

Il Vallone dei Mulini

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.

Corso Italia

Walk along the main street, Corso Italia and enjoy a delicious break tasting the traditional “tagliere” including a taste of local cheese and salami.

Chiostro di San Francesco

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.

Admission Not Included

Villa Comunale

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.

Marina Grande - Antico Borgo Marinaro

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!

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.

Karen_Y

Wonderful tour! Our tour guide Kelly was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and all the best places to go. Great way to spend some time and familiarize yourself with the city!

MikeSharif

We were taken to great spots and given interesting history of the area and what it’s like to be a local.

Anuradha_B

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

Melanie_M

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.

The Guided Walking Tour of Sorrento & Street Food Experience with Alessandro as the guide was an absolute delight. Alessandro's knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendly demeanor made the tour engaging and enjoyable. From exploring the charming streets to indulging in mouthwatering street food, every moment was filled with authentic experiences and fascinating insights. Highly recommended for a memorable and delicious exploration of Sorrento! Stefano & Veronica

Patty_A

Very lackluster. Tour guide was not at all knowledgeable about Sorrento. Said the walls around the city were not there for a purpose but were “just old”. We later read on a sign that they were there to protect the city during invasion of the Turks. Talked very little. We as well as others on tour thought it was a waste of time and money. Very disappointed

Kathryn_B

Enjoyable experience! Th guide was knowledgeable and this was an excellent introduction to Sorrento on our first day in town. I didn't think we would eat as much as we did so I ate breakfast beforehand and was absolutely stuffed by the time the tour was finished. So eat light (or not at all) beforehand :)

sharonzohar

Our guide was very passionate in his knowledge about his city’s history & citizenry. We saw a very good cross section of heritage buildings, shops & local sites. At various locations we stopped & sampled food & drink & saw artisan work. We just loved our short time in Sorrento!
