Taste your way through Sorrento in three hours: local bars, quiet food shops, and flavors full of story, all paced to follow your appetite.

Sip three styles of limoncello in a tucked-away citrus lab
Try mountain-aged cheese and hand-cut salami in a family-run shop
Snack on seasonal pizza and sip local wine at a corner enoteca

Learn how to spot real local products and where to come back for more

Meeting point

Espresso & Sfogliatella at a Corner Bar

Start the Sorrento way, fast coffee, full flavor, no table.

A Taste of Sorrento: Street Food, Sips & Sweet Surprises

Start standing at the bar, no frills, no table, just the morning pulse of Sorrento. Your host explains how locals take their coffee (short, quick, strong) and helps you choose between a sweet ricotta sfogliatella or a rare savory version with provola cheese.

Cheese & Salumi Plate at a Family Alimentari

A neighborhood shop with slices of Sorrento’s daily life.

Step inside a shop where the counter still smells like wax paper and time. Your tasting board may include provolone del Monaco, smoky caciocavallo, and lemon-cured salami, all served with crusty bread and a quiet chat.

Pizza al Taglio & Local Wine at a Corner Enoteca

Slice, sip, and street-scene your way through Sorrento.

Choose your slice by weight: maybe zucchini blossoms, rosemary potatoes, or whatever’s freshest. Then head to a wine shop where locals refill bottles and argue about politics. Your host pours a tasting of Falanghina or Lacryma Christi, simple, honest, and served with a side of laughter.

Artisan Gelato at a Family Parlor

A final scoop with local flair and a flavor mystery to solve.

Scoop at a beloved gelateria: lemon sorbet, hazelnut from Giffoni, or a rotating “mystery flavor” you’ll be invited to guess. Whether you go floral, fruity, or deep and chocolatey, it’s a sweet pause to reflect on the walk.

Limoncello Tasting in a Citrus Lab

A hidden space where lemon oil and family stories linger.

Beyond a quiet shop front lies a room steeped in lemon oil and family tradition. You’ll try three different limoncello varieties, including a surprise herbal blend, and learn how lemons shaped Sorrento’s gardens, trade, and rituals..

What travelers think of our Italy experiences

Holland Jun 2025

Our guide was excellent! She was very kind and answered all of our questions and was willing to personalize our tour.

Carol Jun 2025

Our first time visiting Naples and Serena did a fantastic job sharing her enthusiasm and love of her city while explaining and guiding us through the colorful chaos that makes Naples! Serena answered our questions and discussed various topic points brought up during our tour. We are ALREADY sharing her info with friends traveling to Naples this fall!

Our host was awesome!

Deborah Jun 2025

Our tour in Naples was fabulous. My husband and I met Roberto, our tour guide, and we had a walking tour through the heart of Naples, through Piazza’s, Parks, and Government buildings, the beautiful Theatre, centuries old buildings, neighborhoods and side streets, as well as learning the History of Naples as we went along. It was fascinating! Roberto Introduced us to vendors and provided the opportunity to see how the local residents live, where they gather, shop and eat. We would have never seen what we did or learn so much about Naples - Napoli on our own. Roberto was a wonderful Host, we were sad to leave him. We felt so lucky. I heartily recommend this tour and Roberto for anyone who wants a really fabulous enriched experience. MORE THAN 5 STARS!!

Stuart Jun 2025

The walking tour was great. Learned a lot about the history of Bologna and the present as well. Andrea was informative, funny and introduced us to some cured meats that we had not tried before. A nice way to spend the morning.

Casandra Jun 2025

Great tour. Very flexible and customized for your group. I highly recommended to anyone in Napoli. Enya is the best guide.

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 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!

Can my experience accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! You'll receive a questionnaire right after booking where you can note any dietary requirements, and your host will tailor the experience accordingly.

Do I need to pay for the host's food or drinks?

No, if you and your host decide to stop for food or drinks during your experience, you don’t need to cover your host’s expenses—your host will take care of their own.

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.
