About Sorrento
Cliffside Sorrento is often called “The Gateway to the Amalfi Coast”, but the town itself has enough charm and history to warrant its own visit before heading to the UNESCO World Heritage Site next door. Nestled amongst the rugged cliffs, classic white buildings are complemented by pastel houses in shades of orange, yellow, and pink, leading down to sapphire waves that lap against tan sands.
Sorrento’s sparkle has enchanted visitors for thousands of years, having been a popular tourist destination since the Roman Empire. Today, tourists and locals alike still take in the dreamy sea views. Strolling along the Marina Grande, the scents of Italian cuisine entice you to stop at one of the traditional trattorias for drinks and dishes flavored with fragrant Sorrento lemons, such as limoncello spritz or seafood spaghetti drizzled with lemon-infused olive oil.
Above the cliffs, Sorrento’s heart beats in its vibrant center where winding cobblestone streets are lined with small shops, restaurants, and historical buildings that radiate Italian charm.
As day turns to night, the town illuminates with twinkling lights. Now is the perfect time to take a seat at a bustling restaurant to dine al fresco with stunning sunset views.

How to get from Naples to Sorrento
Deciding how to get from Naples to Sorrento will shape your travel experience. While many transport options are available, a private transfer stands out as the best option offering the most comfort, convenience, and customizability.
From Naples to Sorrento by car
The distance from Naples to Sorrento is 30 miles (49 km) and takes around 1 hour and 10 minutes by car but can vary depending on traffic. While offering flexibility, driving a rental car around this area can be challenging with busy, winding, narrow roads to navigate alongside limited and expensive parking.
From Naples to Sorrento by train
Trains depart regularly from Naples to Sorrento and take approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. While economical, this option can be inconvenient if you have lots of luggage.
From Naples to Sorrento by bus
Buses also run regularly from Naples to Sorrento, taking around 1 hour and 30 minutes and can cost as little as 5 EUR. While budget-friendly, in summer they can be crowded and they offer less flexibility than a private car service. If you’re going to Sorrento from Naples airport, there’s also a bus from the airport parking lot.
From Naples to Sorrento with Daytrip
Alternatively, a private car transfer with Daytrip offers a convenient door-to-door service. You will be picked up at your desired location in Naples, such as the airport or train station, and dropped off at your Sorrento accommodation ensuring no luggage handling.
Daytrip offers possibilities for customization, allowing you to tailor your trip to suit your needs. You can select your vehicle type ensuring you travel in comfort, from sedan, MPV, van, and luxury sedan. You can also choose your desired pick-up time, rather than starting your trip when the bus or train departs.
You can further customize your trip with sightseeing stops along the way, turning your taxi transfer into a journey of discovery across the Amalfi Coast complimented by your friendly local driver who will share regional facts along the way.
Overall, a private car service from Naples to Sorrento is the best transportation option, offering flexibility and comfort with door-to-door service and customization possibilities.

“My wife and I used mydaytrips in october 2021 three times. From naples airport to sorrento; from sorrento to amalfi; from amalfi back to naples. All three drivers were on time and professional. the vehicles were clean and in good condition. The first one was pick up at the naples airport and the driver was on time and had a card with our name on it. the second ride and the third were both also excellent. the drivers called our arrival destination for us since we dont speak Italian to arrange our exact drop off spot and time. the communication with myday trips was outstanding. one of our transfers, we had to keep changing the pick up time and mydaytrips was on top of it with their driver. the prices were competitive with other transfer services and in one case considerable lower. We recommend this company if you need a driver and transfer in Italy.”
“Our experience with Daytrip was great! We used it to get from Naples to Sorrento and Sorrento back to Naples. The drivers were on time and professional. The communications were clear. Thank you.”
“We had a great experience with 2 different drivers. We went from Naples to Sorrento with a 2 hour stop at Pompeii. Our driver Michele was incredibly friendly and acted as our own personal tour guide and answered all our questions. We also did a transfer from Sorrento back to Naples on our way out and had another great experience.”
Private Transfer - Sorrento to Naples
“Excellent, safe, well spoken (English), and very interesting driver picked us up early and delivered us right on time, Piano di Sorrento to Naples train station. Price was good. Highly recommended.”
Private transfer from Naples to Sorrento
“This is the second time I've used Daytrip for travel. We had a wonderful day traveling from Naples to Sorrento with a 3-hour stop at Pompeii and a 2-hour stop at Bosco de Medici winery. Our driver was a terrific host and everything went smoothly. This made for a relaxing afternoon.The winery tour and lunch was particularly memorable. It was also great to not have to worry about driving in the chaos of Italian traffic or dealing with train/bus transfers.”
“I came across the mydaytrip website when trying to find a transfer company. We booked a transfer from Naples train to sorrento with a stop at Pompei and a transfer from sorrento to the Naples airport. We were a bit worried about them being on time and finding the driver but both of them were awesome. We had no problems at all. They were very friendly and safe drivers and always on time. We also emailed the company to double check a few things and we got a very quick reply. We will definitely use this company again.”
“We had a private transfer for two from Naples to Sorrento with a stop at Vesuvius. It was one of our best travel days in southern Italy because we had the most interesting and entertaining conversation with Paolo. Everything went smoothly from the booking to the communications, pickup at our doorstep, the drive, the stop. We highly recommend their services!”
“Our itinerary was Naples airport to the port of Sorrento. Our driver was very professional and everything went perfect. I highly recommend this company.”
“I usually try to travel by local transportation whenever I can, but my friends and I loved our experience with Daytrip and our time with Alberto! The website was easy to use for booking, and I really appreciated the recommended stops included during the booking process. When we needed assistance to make adjustments a few days ahead, customer service was fast and responsive. As for Alberto (our driver), he is definitely in the right line of work! He picked us up on time and was easy to communicate with, both by phone and in person. He was honest with us, to our benefit-- when we had planned 3 hours in Positano because I had learned that the winery near Mt. Vesuvius was closed, he advised us against spending so much time in a small place. Instead, while we climbed Vesuvius, he spoke with his Daytrip supervisor and coordinated with another nearby winery. The result was 2 wonderful hours enjoying lunch and wine at a beautiful winery that we would never have made it to on our own otherwise, with just enough time in Positano to see what we needed to see. We really enjoyed talking to Alberto throughout the day -- he was not only a great driver but a great tour guide. I was impressed by this service -- how flexible and responsive they were. It resulted in such a memorable day. I will definitely look into opportunities to use Daytrip again, and will recommend it to friends and family.”
Fantastic service - friendly and informative
“We took Daytrips twice on vacation - Naples/Sorrento and Sorrento/Naples. Our two drivers, Giovanni and Roberto were fantastic. They both arrived early for our appointment and were a pleasure to ride with on the two journeys. Besides transporting us back and forth they also gave us some of the local history and information on some of the sights in the area. Would definitely use them again in the future.”
