Top 10 Food Tours in Sorrento, Campania
Land of Mermaids. Land of Orange and Lemon Groves. Land of Colors. This small city in Campania has earned a plethora of alluring names. Famed for its sea cliffs, the town's steep slopes look out over azure waters to Ischia, Capri and the Bay of Naples. The birthplace of Limoncello liqueur offers some good diving, great sea fishing, boat cruises and appetizing restaurants. Excellent hiking trails cross the peninsula. Rent a car or take a taxi if the steep streets look too intimidating.

We met the rep at the Sorrento marina and she gave us our tickets for the ferry to Ischia. When we arrived our guide was waiting for us. He was very good and took us all over the island showing us the highlights. The only complaint is that it wasn’t made clear beforehand that we were responsible for the guide’s lunch. That should be made clear in the description online. Overall, a wonderful day

Our group of 6 friends spent 2 weeks in Sorrento in September 2019, We decided to book The Gourmet Girls on our 2nd night as we thought I would be a great introduction to the city. On booking I wondered if it was a bit pricey as I had not done one of these before and wasn't sure what to expect. It exceeded all our expectations. We were joined by an american couple and it was good to have someone else to banter with. The resuraunts we visited all went out of their way to make us feel welcome and supplied plenty of wine and food for us to try, local dishes I would never have had if I was choosing off a menu. Buffalo ragu stands out along with stuffed courgette flowers and mozzarella with lemon leaves. All beautifully presented. We were then happy to visit these restaurants on other days and were met with the same hospitality. nothing was too much trouble for the girls who chatted away happily through the night and where just as chatty when we bumped into them around town later in the week and told us another great place to eat. We had a great evening and are stll talking about it 6 months later.

This is a full day, departing at 9am and returning about 5pm. The trip goes from the port in Sorrento to Marina Piccola, on Capri. On our trip, there were 7 passengers, 4 separate groups. Refreshments are available inc in the price. On the way, the driver and guide (Vincenzo on our trip) point out the famous landmarks. You stop for photos and a swim (step off stern on the Boat) Arriving at Capri, you get off onto a dinghy that takes you the 20 or 30 yards or so to the jetty. You then have a light lunch at the da Gioia Restaurant included, or buy a bigger meal if you wish. After that, you have a few hours on your own, with the intent that you take the short walk up to the bus (or taxi if you prefer) and go into Capri town. After returning to the Boat, the next stage is to continue around the island, to see the other sights, including the option to jump onto smaller boats that will take you into the blue grotto (separate payment). Then it’s around the Island and back to Sorrento, with views of Ischia and Napoli. The Driver and guide were both very attentive and kindly, manoeuvring the boat so all on board got the photos they wanted. A great day.
