Walking Food Tour in Sorrento with Food Tasting

The variety of food and excellence of the food offerings. Tamara interspersed interesting historical information about Sorrento. The size of the tour was good and we met some great people. Tamara made this a most enjoyable evening. She knows so many people and all of them commented on how much they love her!

Tamara was absolutely fantastic. She is an American expat who has been in Sorrento for 9 years so she knows the city inside and out. When my husband and I come to a new city we always want to do a quick tour (preferably a food tour) as the first activity. Her knowledge helped us properly enjoy the rest of the weekend. Must sees, things to avoid, places to eat--she gave us the intro we needed to plan the rest of the weekend. Thank you Tamara!

Great way to get a feel for the town of Sorrento! The food was incredible. We had a small group (4) which was nice and intimate. Due to the hustle and bustle of the town it was sometimes hard to hear everything the tour guide was saying as we were strolling through the town. Because she was so familiar with the area we received very good treatment as she has obviously left a good impression with the vendors.

A fantastic food tour giving a brilliant overview of Sorrento sweet and savoury treats! Tamara is fantastic, so knowledgeable and a great tour guide!

Our friends who had previously taken this tour really liked it. We had done a food tour in London, that was so superior, this just seemed average.

I debated whether to leave this review given the backlash previous negative reviewers have received but I think it’s only fair to save people falling for this scam. I was on the same tour as Bunny referred to below (I was the girl who left to watch the football match!). We were indeed terrified as Tamara shouted down the phone at me at 4.01pm. I hate being late and it’s not nice to delay others but it was our first day in sorrento and we got lost, easy mistake! Maybe Tamara had a bad day but it was simply unpleasant and way too expensive for what we got. We worked out that the cost of the minuscule stuff we tasted was about 15eur, so even if Viator charge 20%, there is a very hefty mark up that really isn’t warranted. I don’t need an American to give me one piece of salami and a reluctant 2 fingers of peroni in a plastic glass to experience the Sorrento food scene and neither do you! (By the way, in case Tamara responds to say I missed the best bits cause I went to watch a match, my cousin stayed for the gelato and said it was fine but not worth sticking around for when the match was so important to me)

The guide was an English speaker born in America. She was often brusque and rude with us, including when we arrived 4 minutes late to the tour and she said “guess SOMEONE had their phone off!?!” In a huff because she has tried to contact us. We are in a foreign country; my phone only works when im on WiFi, duh?! Also, I’m used to food tours where each stop has a food item and a beverage. Literally my mouth was dry halfway through the tour because we had been given all dry foods (pastry, arrincini) with NO beverage. At the third stop with the cured meat and cheese I specifically asked for a drink (which wasn’t coming otherwise) and she deigned to give us each about two swigs of Peroni in a cup, as if it was something special. Then at the dinner stop I requested draft beer instead of the white table wine, and with a GLARE she huffily complied. She even got mad at one of the guests for wanting to leave early (she was going to a pub for a football match). Her friend commented “I don’t think I have ever been scared of my tour guide before.” Really only half joking. I would skip this tour and stroll around instead stopping at local food stores and walk up shops; almost ALL will give you samples, and for a couple euro more you can get great street food and avoid the middle man, or in this case the brutal middle woman. Almost forgot to mention, she actually said to us that Viator takes 20% off the top and it’s clear that she has to part with some of her “hard earned” euros to make our tour complete. My tip? Spend yours with someone else.

Excellent tour given by Tamara, a lot of food with great tips about restaurants and even where to take the train. It gives you an idea of múltiples streets of Sorrento

Tamara was very knowledgeable and brought us to some amazing places to taste local foods. The 3 hours go quickly and you will be stuffed by the end of the tour!

We loved Tamara and her knowledge of the foodie scene. We shared lots of laughs and her high energy and non rushed pace made us perfectly comfortable. The food was more than we ever expected and super delivious. Our taste buds were dancing!. We already rdcommended this to two couples!
