Sorrento offers a lot to admire, but one standout activity that truly captures the essence of this charming town is the Private Flying Dress Photoshoot offered by Dream Dress Italy. Priced at around $628 per person, this hour-long experience combines the fun of wearing a beautifully made Italian dress with the opportunity to get stunning, high-quality photos in some of Sorrento’s most scenic spots. With 9 glowing reviews averaging a perfect 5-star rating, it’s clear that travelers are finding this quite the memorable way to commemorate their visit.
What I really appreciate about the experience is the attention to detail and personalized approach. You’re not part of a big group but covered by a private guide and photographer, which means plenty of tailored advice on poses and locations. Also, the selection of 12 vibrant colors for the dresses, all crafted in Sorrento from Italian fabrics, adds a genuine local touch that elevates the whole experience. Plus, the inclusion of 20 edited digital photos—in multiple resolutions—ensures you walk away with images that look just as stunning as the scenery.
One thing to consider is the cost; at over six hundred dollars, this isn’t a casual snap session. But if you value the quality of the photos, the exclusivity, and the opportunity to wear such a distinctive dress while exploring in style, the price offers solid value. Just remember, this experience is weather-dependent—if rain or bad weather cancels it, you’ll get a full refund or a new date.
