We really enjoyed our "Secrets Walks of Sorrento" tour with a local guide. This was an ideal way to get an introduction to this lovely city. But there's more to see!
We took a day trip to explore 3 towns along the Amalfi Coast. Thankfully we left the driving to an experienced local who easily navigated the narrow and winding coastal road to Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. It was a beautiful day so we were able to take a short boat trip as well!

While in Ravello, we visited the Villa Rufolo. It offered stunning gardens and spectacular views!
