So Much Lemon!! - My friend and I did the lemon tour and lunch combo and it was amazing! The lemon tour itself was super insightful and was so cool seeing their process. Then after the tour we had the lemon tasting which was delicious. It came with lemon cookies, cheeses, marmalades and olive oils. The star of the show, however, was the lemon pasta!! I think we were meant to have raviolis but it could not matter less because the pasta was so so good. So lemony and buttery I will be thinking about that pasta for the rest of the year. It was the best pasta I had in Italy most definitely. The sorbet was also delicious.

When life gives you lemons! You visit this place! - We booked this tour with a 3 course lunch through tui,
Booking things with tui made everything so simple and easy to do, they keep you updated and where to go etc .
they offered a vegetarian option also, but we went for the not veg menu,
The gardens was beautiful and the person who gave us the tour had a deep knowledge of the history of the gardens and told us how they can make new trees from the old with a special method they use to splice it on to the old tree, it’s amazing!
The food was fresh,
I had this courgette salad to start with a lemon ravioli for mains and a lemon sorbet/gelatto for dessert . It was all full of flavour and we could eat surrounded by the lemon trees, and I think there was another menu if we wish to have anything else, they kept fresh fish like prawns, lobster and crabs in tanks
This is an amazing place to visit .

Very nice trip in the lemon garden near the Sorrento city center - Very nice and amazing tour. Walked through the garden while the tour guide told us about the history of the garden and explained how to grow lemons and oranges. Finally everything was prepared (a table by family in the restaurant) to try limoncello, jam, oil with different kind of cheese …

Wonderful Lemon Tour and Lunch Experience - We had a fantastic time on the lemon tour at La Limonaia! Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience really enjoyable. The lunch that followed was equally impressive—especially the ravioli, which was delicious, and the lemon sorbet, a perfect finish to the meal. The staff were all incredibly friendly and attentive, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Drinks were excellent as well. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a relaxing and informative experience with great food and service!

Lovely and fun cultural experience to make the most of your time in Sorrento - A really nice and fun cultural experience to do whilst in Sorrento. We learned so much about oranges and lemons and how they are grown there right down the appearance of the leaves. I would highly recommend it, as they have evening options and it’s something nice to fit in at the end of a day to learn a lot, taste delicious lemon treats and make the most of your time in Sorrento. We really enjoyed the lemon marmalade, cookies, lemon olive oil, candied lemon peel etc, it was all delicious.

Give better pick up directions - We never made it to the tour. We are not citizens from Italy. Directions for pick up were not clear. Not knowing the area we did not know where to go for the pick up place that takes you to the Lemon grove. We called the the grove and girl who we talked do did not know our location. To tell us where to go. She would not give us a refund.
