I recently had the pleasure of taking a food and drink tour in Sorrento with Giovanni, and it was an unforgettable experience! Giovanni was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the local cuisine. He took us to hidden gems, where we sampled authentic local foods that truly showcased the region’s flavors.
The tour was well-paced, allowing us to savor each tasting while learning about the history and culture behind the food. Giovanni's warm personality made the experience even more enjoyable, and their recommendations were spot-on. I left with a deeper appreciation for Sorrento's culinary scene and some great memories.

Giovanni has a beautiful soft nature and tailored our tour to our needs. We visited some of those little ‘off the beaten path’ places and had a wonderful introduction to Sorrento. If you are thinking of booking, do it! And I’d suggest do it early in your trip as it will also help orient you to the beautiful place.
Thank you Giovanni!A must do experience.

This tour was more amazing than we could have imagined. We wanted an authentically local exploration of the food the city has to offer, and Giovanni provided exactly that. We ate dishes that originated in Sorrento, cheese that comes from the surrounding countryside, delicious wine and limoncello, and also got free advice about the best artisans to buy from. Thanks Giovanni!Hidden Gems of Sorrento- Food & Beverage

From the moment we met Giovanni, we felt welcomed and at ease. His knowledge of Sorrento and genuine interest in our trip added to the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every tasting and Giovanni went out of his way to ensure our needs were catered for- including non cheese options!! As a family, we all came away feeling we knew a lot more about the culture in Sorrento and the places we would like to visit again to eat or buy souvenirs! Giovanni was extremely helpful in offering advice for other trips. All in all, we would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sorrento.Great experience

What a true local experience trying out all the things we wouldn’t have even come to know of as a tourist. Visiting the dairy was such a nice idea. I was a vegetarian and my husband wanted to try everything that was non vegetarian. Giovanni took such great care of our preference. And his knowledge about the food, the culture and the stories were so entertaining.
Plus super thanks to him for being such a help throughout our trip in Italy, he was just a message away all the time.
Highly highly recommended!super culinary delight

Giovanni was an amazing guide through the local food scene of Sorrento, with some history sprinkled in along the way. We sampled amazing pastries and confections, sipped limoncello with a wonderful shopkeeper, and enjoyed vino Rosa with authentic fior de latte and provolone with Sorrento salami at a local dairy. The gnocchi with fresh tomato sauce was unbelievable and was served in a lovely bar with a cast of characters that felt very authentic. It was like spending an afternoon with a good friend who knew the area well. It was just the three of us, so we were able to practice our Italian and ask MANY questions about the food and area. Giovanni was happy to provide many recommendations for other things to do and see in the area. The tour was 3 hours and was easy to walk. A magical afternoon in Sorrento!Excitng Food Tour with Giovanni!

We were a group of eight, the majority in their early seventies. After exchanging texts with our guide Giovanni asking him to limit the amount of walking and to make sure we had a sit down food tasting in a local restaurant, this friendly, engaging guide did exactly what we requested. To begin our tour, we drank wine, sampled meats and cheeses at a remarkable cheese store, loaded with typical products. We enjoyed speaking with the owner and Giovanni about the various products while sitting at tables outside this remarkable shop. Afterwards, after a short walk, we sat down to more wine and pasta at a restaurant that had musical entertainment. An incredible, fun time was had by all, as we ate, drank, sang and danced. The food was excellent. We completed our food tour by visiting various shops in Sorrento's historical center, sampling gelato, chocolates, and, of course, Sorrento's famous limoncello. The tour was special, made more so by our guide Giovanni. An incredibly enjoyable evening!

If you want a really warm and relaxing day with a professional that knows his way around, do not hesitate to book him. Thank you Gennaro for a really wonderful day on the Amalfi Coast! Looking forward to drinking Mario's farm fresh Limoncello with our friends here in California - thank you again for arranging this all. Ciao for now.Can't give Gennaro a High Enough Rating!!!

We had a great time with Gennaro. He really made us feel like we were part of the city and enjoyed walking around the streets, enjoying the sights, sounds and tastes of local Napoli.
It was very informative and we learned a lot and after the tour we really felt familiar with the place as well as a good feel for where we were.
This was our first day and after the tour we already had a good idea where we wanted to go next and what to do.
Many thanks Gennaro.

Three of us travelled to Napoli for my mother’s 70th birthday and my partner fancied trying a food tour of the city. I’m not a big foodie, but I love history and Gennaro balanced a perfect mix of both. We ate amazing food that we never would have thought to try and learnt so much about the city, we will forever be enamoured by Napoli and its rich cultural history! Thanks Gennaro for such a fun day!Super experience
