Overview

I'm a Tour Leader for almost 10 years of experience. For years I have been guiding visitors from all over the world to discover Sorrento. The tour starts from Piazza Tasso dedicated to the famous writer Torquato Tasso, a short distance from Piazza Tasso is the nineteenth-century Albergo Vittoria, here some famous artists stayed there such as the famous Neapolitan tenor Enrico Caruso, a few steps from the square you can admire the the ancient Vallone dei Mulini, is a valley born from the eruption of the Campi Flegrei. Today it is an abandoned place where there is rich vegetation. Sorrento's most important attraction is the Cathedral with a beautiful 19th century wooden choir inside. After the visit to the Duomo the tour continues in the beautiful historic center of Sorrento, the oldest part of Sorrento with beautiful artisan shops, here it is possible to taste the typical products. The tour ends in the Panoramic Terrace where you can admire a beautiful view of the Gulf of Naples.

On the panoramic terrace of Sorrento it is possible to admire the most beautiful panorama of the Sorrento Peninsula, it is also possible to visit the cloister and the Church of San Francesco, among the most beautiful in Sorrento. The eighteenth-century church is annexed to the convent building, whose prominent element is the cloister. One of the oldest monuments in Sorrento, built on the remains of a 7th century monastery, the cloister blends the typically 14th century style with that of subsequent eras. The cloister was restored in the first decades of the twentieth century and today is the location for classical music concerts.
