I heard about this experience through a podcast (Untold Italy) and knew this was a key part of our trip to Italy and it did not disappoint. It was amazing!!! I knew we had to do it!!! Vanessa was absolutely spectacular!!! From communicating with me before hand to the night of our dinner! The experience sounded so amazing and then the actual experience was everything I imagined and then some more. Food was fantastic! I'm still thinking about the meatballs and the beautiful wines that were served! Nothing disappointed - we met extremely nice people and had one of the most memorable nights of our trip! Thank you so much Vanessa!!!! you are the Gourmet Girls are true Gems!!!

We felt so fortunate to secure a last-minute place (top tip don’t give up trying to grab a space as we learned sadly some people do cancel late notice, their loss our gain!) We booked Bella Sorrento Evening Progressive Dinner Experience with the fabulous Gourmet Girls. We had previously visited Sorrento many times and experienced the traditional sites, but given the vast choice and now extremely popular restaurants, we wanted to try an alternative and more intimate experience. We were not disappointed. This small business and simply lovely ladies deserve all the good reviews they have earned and more.
Intimate, exceptional organisation and planning led to such a magical start to our holiday. Excellent local food (so many delights!!), fabulous wine, great service and friendly company from fellow guests and Lee & Vanessa who made us smile with their non-stop great humour and their personal story made for a truly amazing experience.
We left the night feeling welcomed, humbled and blessed to meet such lovely people and to have some of the best hidden gems (I think we ambled to 5 different locations!) reserved and all organised. A truly value for money high quality intimate experience for which we cannot wait to try a different experience on our next visit! Thank you Lee & Vanessa it really meant the world!

We have done many food tours in many cities but this one created and hosted by Vanessa and Lee ,The Gourmet Girls , is by far the best.
There are four stops on the tour all of which are away from the tourist areas and more frequented by the local residents, run by local families.
The food was sourced locally and was incredible.
You will not be hungry with several tapas dishes, pasta,steak and the best Tiramisu I have ever tasted.
Whilst the food and the wine are without doubt the stars of this tour,the hosting skills of Vanessa and Lee make you feel like you are with friends having a good night out.
They are extremely passionate about what they do and that passion is infectious.
We had the very best of evenings full of excellent food, excellent wine excellent company and lots of laughter. (Ask about Lucy the goose 😂)
We would recommend to anyone who is visiting Sorrento but beware The Godfather cocktail packs a punch 😄
Thank you and we wish you continued success.

We have done many food tours in many cities but this one created and hosted by Vanessa and Lee is the best by a country mile. The tour takes in four stops all of which are outside of the “ tourist “ Sorrento and more in the residential area. They are places were they would take their families to eat.
The food and wine were outstanding and coupled with the excellant narrative from The Gourmet Girls made an unforgettable experience.
We chatted as if we were friends having a night out. We loved it.
The tiramisu was incredible , the steak divine and the tapas needs to be eaten to be believed.
Beware The Godfather cocktail packs a punch.
Thank you ladies and congratulations on what you have created.
This is a must do experience and worthy of more than 5*

We had an absolutely fabulous time on this tour. The food was fantastic and we learned a lot of interesting information about the local cuisine. We got to try a lot of local wines which are not available to purchase anywhere else (and which were all delicious). I am celiac and they were able to fully accommodate. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun night out in Sorrento!

Veronica and her partner have created an experience that you will talk about for years. The restaurants have been thoughtfully chosen, the proprietors well vetted and the food outstanding. The guests feel welcome and get to experience Sorrento like the locals. This is an experience that should not be missed!

I have done many food tours in many cities throughout Europe - this tour was by far the best. The hospitality of the guide and all of the restaurant proprietors far exceeded any expectations. The food , wine. dessert and even after dinner drinks were all outstanding. Veronica was informative , engaging and made Everyone feel like we were like her family. Gracie
