First Day in Sorrento: Tips, Streets & Sea Views

You’ll begin on Sorrento’s main street, not rushing or shopping, but observing. Your host shows you what this street really is: a local artery. Where to get shoes fixed, where the espresso is never rushed, and how to move with (not against) the flow.

Via San Cesareo – Culture Behind the Shops

A busy lane with real craft, quiet chapels, and local clues.

First Day in Sorrento: Tips, Streets & Sea Views

This busy backstreet reveals more than it first shows. With your host, you’ll look beyond the trinkets into a tiny wood-inlay workshop, a candlelit chapel, or a spice stall locals actually use. You’ll also learn to tell the difference between the real and the reproduced.

A sea-facing garden that shows you where everything is.

First Day in Sorrento: Tips, Streets & Sea Views

End (or pause) at this public garden perched above the sea. It’s beautiful, yes, but also incredibly useful. Your host points out the ports, ferry routes, beach access, and nearby swimming coves. It’s a visual orientation as much as a poetic one. Ask anything, or just take a breath.

On the way back, step into a civic space locals don’t often speak of, but still quietly use. It once housed town debates, now it’s a backdrop for cards and conversation. You’ll learn how old structures carry forward, not as monuments, but as part of the town’s living fabric.

Ono was amazing, he went above and beyond. He took us to places that were non touristy, we learned a lot about local history. There was not a question he couldn’t answer. He even helped us to travel to our next destination safely. We would highly recommend him.

Excellent experience with Titziana walking all throughout the Milan Cathedral (rooftop, crypt, etc), the Sforzesco Castle and some unique areas of the city. She was incredibly informative and a delight to walk with.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.
