Excellent Tour - We had a brilliant time. My husband, 12 year old daughter and I enjoyed our experience immensely. Hugo has a very personable, humorous style, he grew up in Sorrento and when he got married went to live in Piano, has a great knowledge of and passion for the history and people of the city. Absolutely delicious was the Cannolo with fresh ricotta cheese ! A superb day. We ALL highly recommend this experience.

Amazing Tour - This guided walking tour was the highlight of our entire trip! Absolutely unexpected. Piano di Sorrento is a small town full of hidden treasures. Roberta, was a gracious host and provided so much history and information about the area. We got so much more out of the experience for having her guide us through it. The small group (we were five) was a perfect size. I would highly recommend booking this tour to experience

booking mix up with no refund - The trouble was we thought it was a walk in Sorrento not Piano di Sorrento. I called right at the meeting time when there was no tour guide at the location, and found out we were in the wrong location. The tour guide at first said we had canceled - which we had not. then she called me back and said we could not reschedule and was generally not helpful bordering on being very rude. When I requested a refund - it was denied. The tour may be great - if you get to go :( I have used Viatour for most of my travels and unfortunately this was not a great experience
