Additional Information

Discover and enjoy Puglia as an actual local inhabitant would!

From the coastal regions to the rural countryside… we’ll be seeing the main landmarks of the area, such as Bari, the capital city of this region. Its energetic and contemporary city center, filled with stores and points of interest, along with its quaint historical center marked by labyrinth-like alleyways will leave you in awe: notably, Arco Basso or the famed ‘orecchiette’s street’, where women continue to hand-make the traditional pasta (orecchiette) in the age-old manner.
Subsequently, we will visit Alberobello, the most prominent site in the locality and a UNESCO World Heritage location. Alberobello’s uniqueness as far as its ‘Trulli’ houses are concerned, will give you a sense of being in a magical world.
Finally, we will not miss out on the delightful ‘terraces’ at Polignano a Mare, perched over the sea, and its marvelous marine caverns.
We will be driving through a stunning route…with miles of historic, beautiful olive tree spreads and amazing sea vistas from the hills.

Best Tour of our 2 week Vacation - Highlight of our two week cruise! Gianluca picked us up from the Bari port and drove us to Matera. We toured the ancient city and were amazed at the history and beauty of the area. Gianluca was an excellent guide and provided us with so much knowledge about the area. This is a MUST DO tour! We highly recommend Gianluca!!

A must do tour - Gianluca was an excellent guide and made for an enjoyable day of touring. Loved learning about the Trulli Houses. Gianluca made learning history fun and enjoyable, not just rattling off historical dates, but giving us great background stories. There were 4 of us, and all seniors and Gianluca kept the pace slow and steady which was perfect. we never felt rushed.

Wife’s bucket list ticked. - Ticked off my wife’s bucket list. Beautiful Trulli houses in the old part and nice to be let in to one to see it for real. If you go, use the shop with the rooftop terrace. Stunning views.
