The tour then leads you to the charming town of Sorrento, known for its vibrant lemon groves and the famous Limoncello. Stroll through Piazza Tasso and explore the Valley of the Mills, a hidden gem that offers a glimpse into the town’s medieval past. Finally, the tour concludes in Positano, a dreamlike village with its pastel-colored houses cascading down the cliffs. The breathtaking views from the panoramic terrace will leave you in awe.

“Go for it, it is beautiful. The drive and scenery are amazing. The cliffside towns we visited were stunning in beauty and the audacity to build hotels, resorts, and houses on some of the steepest slopes off sheer cliffs was breathtaking.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-30
