“A really nice and fun cultural experience to do whilst in Sorrento. We learned so much about oranges and lemons and how they are grown there right down the appearance of the leaves. I would highly recommend it, as they have evening options and it’s something nice to fit in at the end of a day to learn a lot, taste delicious lemon treats and make the most of your time in Sorrento. We really enjoyed the lemon marmalade, cookies, lemon olive oil, candied lemon peel etc, it was all delicious.”

“This was a bit disappointing. There was no commentary or explanation as to what we were seeing. It was an OK boat trip but we spent ages stopped watching a bunch of people jumping off a cliff into the sea. We were also kept waiting outside the port waiting to dock for at least 20 minutes. The boat was also underpowered and rocked a lot in the swell and wash from bigger boats.”
