Giovanni took us on a walking food tour of Sorrento. We had so much fun! He took us to his personal favorite spots, none of which we would have found on our own. Along the way he pointed out historical sights. All the tastings were delicious and it was great to go to more local places rather than tourist spots. He was very easy and fun to be with. We loved it! Highly recommend!Great food tour!

Giovanni was an excellent guide as we walked Sorrento. He talked about the city as we walked and stopped at places we would not normally stop at. We thoroughly enjoyed the food he chose. So good, we purchased products to bring home from the small local businesses. (which are so important to support.)Highly recommend!!

We had a brilliant few hours with Giovanni eating and drinking like a local. It was a treat to be ordered for by somebody who knows the best cuisine in the area. We especially loved the gnocchi and deli plate. Highly recommend booking towards the start of your holiday so you have more chance to go back to places. Thank you! Fantastic local experience

If you're coming to Sorrento and would like a special food tour, I encourage to consider Giovanni at WithLocals.com. His laid back style fits perfect with the chill vibe of the coast. As a native son of the city, his knowledge of all things Sorrento is vast. Giovanni exposed us to much more than Sorrento’s food, he explained its history, took us to see a fourth-generation wood artisan, gave us tips about tours and showed us sights that are not usually seen when people visit the area. If this is your first trip to the city it is a great way to get acclimated and get the most out of your visit. The Food: I am a bit obsessed about Italian cuisine, and the tour exposed me to more things that I did not know. At our second stop we went to Caseficio Aprede Francesco. We sampled meats and cheeses from the region. I discovered that I love Salame Napoletano. It’s a pork sausage with a slightly smoky flavor, but with an underlying sweetness. We had that with two cheeses, a Provolone del Monaco and a Foridilatte. The latter is similar to a mozzarella cheese but comes exclusively from whole cow’s milk. Caseficio produces it in-house daily. The Provolone is produced locally and has also has a savory, buttery texture that pairs great with the salame. If you have tasted provolone from other areas, you will really like this version. Topping off this stop was a wonderful biscuit known as Tarallo. They are seasoned with lard, brandy, aniseed and other flavorings and then shaped into a circle. They are dry, but oh so savory and are great with wine. So perfect! Our next stop was a family-owned restaurant featuring gnocchi. Coincidentally, it is called Gnocchi, osteria di famiglia. We tasted the pride of Sorrento the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. They first sautéed their gnocchi in tomato sauce, Parmesan, and fresh basil, before baking it in the oven more Parmesan and mozzarella which forms a crispy crust. Yes, there was more wine. We had three other stops: one to try a pasty called Baba, which was a rum-soaked cake shaped like a cork. I am not a sweet person, but my wife loved it and she is a pastry aficionado. Another was at a coffee shop called Gentile Café. Their Neapolitan espresso coffee was really strong with a deep, dark roast. They served their coffee with this Lemon Cake with sweet lemon drizzle that was light despite a copious amount of sugar. Again, my wife approved wholeheartedly. I will finish this review properly, at the Limoncello shop. This liquor is ubiquitous in the region and in downtown Sorrento it is everywhere. We sampled five different kinds of Limoncello, and ate Limoncello cookies, candies, and other products. I think I got drunk in four minutes (not really). We went over our tour time by over 30 minutes, yes Giovanni checked with us if that was ok. We were having fun listening to his families stories and experiences in his hometown. He still spends the tourist season in Sorrento and then goes back to Naples where his family lives now. He started his own tour company there, so apparently we need to go eat pizza for a day with him. Oh no, what will we do?!? Sign up for his tours – you will be really happy to meet someone with a passion for the tastes of southern Italy along Amalfi Coast and beyond.Exceptional Sorrento Food Tour

Wir hatten eine Pompejiführung bei Veronica gebucht. Bereits im Vorfeld nette und verständliche Kommunikation. Leider war Veronica kurzfristig verhindert, hat uns aber sofort eine ebenfalls deutschsprachige Vertretung organisiert und den Kontakt hergestellt! Es lief wunderbar, unser Guide Nicola hat uns zunächst trotz Bahnstreik nach Pompeji gelotst. Die Führung war höchstinteressant und wir erhielten viele Informationen und Einblicke! Wir haben in zwei Stunden sehr viel gesehen, gehört und unsere Fragen beantwortet bekommen! Ich kann jedem nur empfehlen, Pompeji mit Führung zu machen und über withlocals hat alles wunderbar geklappt! Grazie mille, Veronica und Nicola! Absolut empfehlenswert!

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.

After a long and harrowing drive from Sienna to Sorrento, my wife and took a couple of days to acclimate ourselves to Sorrento. Truth be told, the views from the cliffs surrounding the Bay of Naples, with Mt. Vesuvius and all the barrier islands can occupy your time for a while. It's a view you don't want to miss or compromise in terms of time, if you have it. If you dont, make it. We decided on our third day to book a tour with Alessandra to learn more about Sorrento and the surrounding hillsides. Seeing a place is one thing, experiencing a place and its people with someone who lives there takes things to an entirely differnt level. This is what we love about Withlocals. Alessandra was quick and efficient with her communication as we met her promptly under the statue of Sorrento's patron saint, Saint Antonino. From there we were guided through the streets, shops, cafes and cathedrals that define Sorrento. Along the way, Alessandra peppered our views with perspective and an understanding that no guide book or wikipedia page could ever hope to provide. Highlights included Via Santa Maria della Pieta and the Basilica di Sant'Antonino among many others. Alessandra's pride of place was infectious. The enthusiasm and joy she exuded while sharing stories, not just photo opps, was wonderful. In our experiences with Withlocals what we have come to enjoy as much as the knowledged gained about where we are, it's the new and lasting friendships we have made with nearly all of our guides. It just transforms any place we are lucky enough to enjoy and in Sorrento, with Alessandra nothing could be more true.Alessandra the Great
