Travel to Sorrento, Italy for a Virtual Walking Tour!
During this one-hour tour, we'll be immersed in Italian culture as Luca Genovese, Georama's expert tour guide, takes us through the streets of this beautiful coastal town. From our starting point of Piazza Tasso, we'll head through the "Valley of the Mills," then through the city's main shopping center, Corso Italia, moving into the charming historic lanes of the Old Town Centre, and finally concluding in the Cloister of San Francesco, a medieval cloister dating from the 1300's. We'll be able to direct our guide and ask questions in real time! What a fantastic and authentic way to learn about history, art, architecture, and culture from a distance! Sponsored by Georama (www.georama.com). Join the tour at http://www.georama.com/ndlw2016/sorrento/.
