Sorrento itself is the major resort town in terms of numbers of hotels and visitors and is a popular resort destination for Europeans. Many will be staying one or two weeks and seldom leave the resort.
On a day visit to Sorrento there are no blockbuster attractions. It's a pleasant town which, despite the number of European visitors, retains its Italian feel. It's ideal for a low key day in between hardcore sightseeing.
The town centre is a maze of alleyways to be explored and the waterfront (a steep hill below) has its quaint spots with fish restaurants and a laid-back feel. There are hop-on hop-off sightseeing buses around the town and peninsular.
On a day tour you can see much more. Sorrento is just a stop of a couple of hours in between visiting Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast.
On the other (southern) side of the peninsular that Sorrento stands on, is Amalfi and Positano, a much more dramatic coast where villages cling onto an almost vertical cliff face. The road along the coast is truly memorable and a highlight of any trip to the area.
Cheap and frequent trains run between Naples and Sorrento (which is the terminus). Trains are always very crowded and you may well have to stand for a good part of the journey. Pompeii is halfway between Naples and Sorrento so you could include Pompeii in your day trip to Sorrento.
A faster link between Naples and Sorrento than the train are the Hydrofoil services direct across the Bay of Naples. Faster and more comfortable than the train but less frequent and much more expensive. In Naples the main ferry port is at Molo Beverello in the city centre, next to the cruise terminal.
If you want to do more than just chill out, people watch and take in the atmosphere of Sorrento then a tour is going to be able to accomplish much more in a day than striking out independently.
