Sorrento is a resort town perched on cliffs above the Bay of Naples, and it behaves like one: lively from Easter to October, scented with lemon groves and limoncello shops, then noticeably quieter in winter when some hotels and ferries pause. The tours below cover kitchens, boats, scooters and transfers.
Top-Rated Sorrento Italy Tours & Experiences
Private Transfer to Sorrento from Naples
A private transfer takes you from Naples straight to your Sorrento hotel, handy with luggage after a flight or train. Share your arrival details, confirm the meeting point and ask about the waiting policy for delays.
Positano and Amalfi Coast Small Group Tour By Boat
This small-group trip heads along the coast by boat to Positano and the Amalfi Coast, avoiding the congested coast road. Check the sea-conditions policy, whether time ashore is included and the length of the day.
Private Transfer from Sorrento to Napoli Airport with Minicab
A minicab to the airport suits early flights when public buses do not fit, with a fixed pickup. Confirm the pickup time, leaving a margin for traffic, and check the luggage allowance and vehicle size.
Private Transfer from Sorrento to Naples
Another one-way private ride, here to Naples itself, useful for the port, the station or a city hotel. Check the exact drop-off point and whether a child seat can be requested for family travel.
Sorrento Rental Scooter Vespa 125cc
A Vespa lets you explore the peninsula’s coast roads at your own pace, but it needs confidence on narrow, busy roads. Check the license and age requirements, helmet and insurance details, and the deposit rules.
Whichever experience you choose, booking online ahead of time in Sorrento Italy means one less thing to worry about once you land.
