Private car transfer from Siena to Sorrento

Riding with Daytrip, your private driver will meet you at your accommodation in Siena and load up your luggage before you set off to Sorrento. Along the way, you'll ride in comfort, and be able to talk with them about local culture; or experience it for yourself with exciting sightseeing stops.

Once you arrive in Sorrento, your local driver will deftly navigate the narrow streets to deliver you to your destination. You'll arrive refreshed and ready to experience Sorrento in all its glory with its cobblestone streets, lemon groves, and vine-covered cloisters.

Wandering the streets of Sorrento will transport you to another world. In this place, the air is filled with the fresh and tangy scent of citrus, old-world open-air markets sell artisanal products you cannot get anywhere else, and restaurants serve the local catch of the day on a bed of crisp greens. It might not sound real, but it is—it's Sorrento.

While wandering the Old Town, book a tour of the Cathedral of Saints Philip and James. It's one of the town's best medieval attractions, filled with beautiful decorations and historic relics. For another glimpse of the past, keep an eye out for the Vallone dei Mulini, the Valley of the Mills, an archaeological site showcasing the town's ancient flour mills. Of course, all that exploring can get hot and tiring, so take a lunch break at the Marina before you dip in the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Enjoy the outdoors

Most people visit Italy for its history, cuisine, and culture, but many forget that it has some excellent outdoor activities. If you're traveling between Siena and Sorrento, you can experience the great Italian outdoors first-hand. For example, you can explore the little park of monsters, otherwise known as Sacro Bosco, hike around Mount Vesuvius, or wander through the beautiful vineyards of Cantina del Vesuvio.

Visit top attractions outside of peak hours

When traveling from Siena to Sorrento, visiting attractions outside of peak hours is a good idea. This can be difficult if you're traveling by public transportation. Not only aren't you able to stop and visit the attractions most of the time, but you will also be bound by the schedules.

Fortunately, a workaround to this is to travel with a private car service like Daytrip. With Daytrip, you choose when you want to travel, so you'll get to visit popular attractions outside of peak times and avoid lengthy wait times.

From Siena to Sorrento by bus

Traveling by bus is the cheapest way to get from Siena to Sorrento, but also the slowest. Although a few buses offer trips along this route, the most popular coach line is Flixbus.

Typically, Flixbus offers numerous trips daily, with a bus leaving every two hours. Unfortunately, although a ticket is only between $27 and $34, you should expect the trip to take between nine hours and 40 minutes and 13 hours and 20 minutes.

From Siena to Sorrento by private car service

The only direct way to get from Siena to Sorrento is by private car. Riding with Daytrip, your experienced, English-speaking driver will pick you up at your accommodation in Siena and can get you to Sorrento in as little as four hours and 40 minutes, not accounting for sightseeing stops. Prices start at 147 euros per person.

But Daytrip isn't just a door-to-door car service. Stop along the way at amazing places like Pompeii or Mount Vesuvius before you get to Sorrento. While you ride, chat with your driver to get insider info about the locations you're planning on visiting. Your driver might not be a tour guide, but they do their best to ensure you have a good time.

Enjoy lunch at Marina Grande

If the hustle and bustle of Sorrento becomes too much, retreat to the Marina Grande on the western end of Sorrento. The Marina Grande is a peaceful spot to grab a bite to eat since most of the restaurants are family-owned and have a laid-back vibe. Some of the best eateries in Sorrento, including Bagni Delfino and Da Emilia, can be found at the Marina Grande—you won't be disappointed.

Tour the coast

Sorrento might not have as many beaches as other coastal destinations in Italy, but this doesn't mean there are no water activities. Besides sunbathing and taking a dip in the ocean, you can also book a coastal tour to see more of the stunning Amalfi coast.

If you take a boat tour or cruise from Sorrento, you'll get to snorkel, explore hidden coves, take in staggering cliffs, and sail through serene crystalline waters. It's an experience unlike any other. You can even amp it up a notch by taking a day trip to the island of Capri for a bit of shopping if you have time.

The weather is pleasant and usually sunny, which is perfect for exploring the town and its beautiful surroundings. Even better, there are fewer visitors and accommodation is usually cheaper.

The coastal town is most popular to visit in the summer, from June to August. This is when the weather is warmest and the sun shines daily. It's also the most crowded and expensive time to visit. Sorrento itself has been a holiday destination for 2000 years and as the Gateway to the Amalfi Coast, thousands of additional visitors pass through on their way to this UNESCO-listed landscape.
