The (only?) one that "a Uber big tour company" is likely to have heard of is Positano.
I'd be interested to know if there is an "official" most vertical town, defined by someone like the Istituto Geografico Militare.

Perugia...a city, not a town..but surely vertical. So much so that the city has a system of elevators and escalators to whisk people up from bottom street levels and parking garages.
Altho walking the streets of Positano, if that ain't vertical, the meaning of the word has been lost/

Well i can't really define 'vertical' as meant by the tour brochure
just thought it would be an intriguing Q
heck i don't know what they mean by vertical but me i would think elevation from one part of town to the other and in the shortest distance - the most vertical rise would be in metres of altitude over the shortest distance
obviously thus would be a seaside town i guess
