"Taxi's - Rip off" Top 5 Page for this destination Sorrento Tourist Trap Tip by Balam

Sorrento Tourist Traps: 5 reviews and 1 photos

Taxis in Sorrento and the rest of Italy are a rip off, It cost's 12 to 15 euro for a short journey of about 1 mile. (a 10 minute walk ) my mother had to use them as she is disabled and if anything that put the price up because they could tell that she had no choice. She got a Taxi back from Piazza Tasso to Via Cocumela in St Agnello at 23:50 and it cost 19 euro, The driver said it was because it was Night. when it was mentioned that Taxi's were very expensive the driver said it was because he only works 6 month's of the year.

Unique Suggestions: You can Haggle a price for the journey before you get in and you will knock at least a third of the original price but it will still be expensive.

Fun Alternatives: Buses are the best form of transport at only 1 euro for 60 minutes travel.
The Train is fantastic for longer distances with prices starting at e1.80 for up o 100 minutes travel time.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
