Explore Sorrento your way

At ToursByLocals, we believe that how you explore is just as important as where you go. That’s why every Sorrento tour is private, flexible, and built around you: Move at your own pace, skip the crowds, make connections and follow your curiosity. Find local guides offering private tours in Sorrento for every interest, including:

Nature and Wildlife tours: Hike the Path of the Gods with a local who sets the pace and shows you the best viewpoints, or wander lemon groves for a tasting of fresh lemonade and limoncello at a family spot like I Giardini di Cataldo. You can also snorkel in the Punta Campanella marine reserve to look for octopus and sea bream, or follow an easy walk to the fishing cove at Marina di Puolo.

History tours: Visit the Bagni della Regina Giovanna to swim beneath the natural arch and tour the ruins of the Roman Villa Pollio Felice. In town, step into the Cloister of San Francesco and the Sedil Dominova, browse the Museo Correale di Terranova, and see inlaid-wood craft in action at the Museo Bottega della Tarsia Lignea.

Boat tours: Take private boat tours to Capri, cruising through the Faraglioni and, if seas allow, visiting the Blue Grotto. A skipper can anchor near Nerano or the Li Galli islands for a swim and lunch at a seaside trattoria before an easy ride back to Marina Piccola.

Sorrento’s centre is walkable, with ferries to Capri and the Amalfi Coast and the Circumvesuviana train to Pompeii and Naples. Coastal buses get crowded and some trailheads are spread out, so you can book chauffeured tours or tours with private transportation—ask your local guide for the best fit.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all itinerary, you can tailor your private tour to match your interests, pace and personality with a local who knows Sorrento inside and out.

Walking tours & neighbourhoods

Day trip ideas from Sorrento

Base yourself in Sorrento and use the ferries, coastal roads, and train lines to hop to nearby cities and classic sights for easy day trips with your tour.

Pompeii and Herculaneum: Walk original Roman streets, see vivid frescoes, and compare two very different sites impacted by the same eruption, and if you like archaeology and clear storytelling, this pairs well with a simple stop for volcanic wine on the slopes of Vesuvius.

Amalfi Coast towns (Positano, Amalfi, Ravello): Follow the cliff road to small beaches, tiled churches, and high viewpoints, and if you’re into photos, ceramics, lemon groves, or a slow lunch with a sea view, your tour can focus on the towns that match your style.

Capri: Ride the ferry across the bay for lanes lined with cafés, quiet paths with sea cliffs, and big island views from Anacapri, and if you prefer light hiking and local crafts to crowds, it’s easy to shape your time for just that.

Naples: Dive into a busy historic centre with street food, bold street art, and major museums, and if you care about pizza, archaeology, or hidden neighbourhoods, you can zero in on those layers without wasting time.

Paestum and the Cilento: Head south to stand among massive Greek temples and nearby buffalo farms, and if you like ancient history with a countryside feel, this longer day balances archaeology with a slower coast.

A private tour with a local guide is the best way to really get to know a place. Skip the crowds, follow your interests, and see a side of Sorrento most travellers miss.
