sorry for asking again...

someone is saying sorrento may be a better place for us to go than positano.. im inclined to do both.. sorrento, positano, and then anacapri..  any thoughts on this itenarary?? i have not heard too much about soreento aside from the fact that it is a good jumping off point for excursions/tours of the rest of the amalfi and pompeii.
on a side note: i decided not to use the travel agent who charged us 300$. she was super rude and condescending and gave me a huge attitude when i asked her to bring the trip down to our budget!

  • travel agents should never charge you anything. They make their money from booking the hotels.

    I would skip sorrento if you are going to postiano. And maybe add a day in Capri instead. Sorrento is very cute but postiano is way better.

  • Actually, really high end agents do charge because of their expertise. It's away for them to weed out those who are not serious or those thatdo no have a realistic budget, since a higher end well known agent may get a ton of inquiries every day. Also, these agents are able to offer special perks, like automatic uprades, special access to tours, and the ability to plan private tours. I have dealt with an agent who charges a fee and he did it for a reason- lots of perks and knowledge.

     







  • Ditto the comment about charging - some destination experts charge fees upfront for the reasons pps have listed. 

    We were in Positano in July - LOVE it!  We drove through Sorrento, but I am so glad we stayed in Positano.  It's gorgeous and the scenery is just so dramatic.  We stayed at the Marincanto and had a wonderful experience.  Here's the view from our balcony - we had breakfast in our room every morning (breakfast is included in your price, in the restaurant or on your balcony!)
