Private Walking Tour in Sorrento with Guide and Tasting
3
This experience will allow you to grasp the true essence of Sorrento.
The meeting point is Piazza Lauro.
We will start by skirting a typical citrus grove, and then look out onto a terrace overlooking the sea. We will reach the main square, dedicated to the poet Tasso, to admire one of the most photographed abandoned places in the world: the "Vallone dei Mulini".
We will enter the alleys of the historic center, discovering its most important monuments including: the cathedral, the "Sedil Dominova" and the cloister of
Saint Francis.
After having admired the typical "postcard" on the Gulf of Naples, we will continue our experience reaching the ancient fishing village of Marina Grande.
The timeless atmosphere and the pastel colors of this suggestive place will be the right conclusion of the visit to Sorrento.
We are waiting for you and as a famous TV commercial said: "Sorrento, you arrive as a tourist and leave as one of the family".
