Sorrento

Hello! We will be heading to Sorrento and the Cinque Terre in a couple of days and we were wondering if anyone has any advice about things to do in both places. We just finished a fabulous free walking tour in Venice and was wondering if anyone has booked one for any of the above places?

As well we were wondering if you have any recommendations of good bus companies to book for a drive to the Amalfi Coast?

Cinque Terre - Hike from Vernazza to Monterosso and Vernazza to Corniglia
take a ferry to each of the villages and take the train to each of the 5
take the train into Portovenere

Sorrento - hike Garden of the Gods - gardenofgods.com
bus to Amalfi and Ravello and Minori and Atrani
visit the secret beach at Furore
ferry the entire Amalfi Coast
ferry to Capri and do the 5 hikes on the island

You don't need to book anyone for a drive of the coast - just hop on the SITA bus. But, if you do, try-
Monetti Taxi

Hello, how many mile walk is the garden of the gods? I was thinking of doing that to get rid of jet lag. Thanks!

Sorrento: take the train to Pompeii and back, very easy. Take a public bus to Amalfi Coast. Buses are at train station or go on a tour bus.
Uses ferries too. Train is Circumvesuviana.
In Sorrento have dinner or lunch at Ristorante Delfino down on the water. Fabulous seafood!

We like to think so, Kathy ! But I still don't know what possessed me to note a location in Colorado....must have been a brain blip....

Whenever I give a comment, I like to think that I am giving a good opinion....not totally wrong information....sheesh
