3 Hour Walking Tour of Sorrento with Local Food Tasting
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.
