Locorotondo

The name derives from the fact that it once had a rounded shape. Now that circle has been partly lost but the beauty of this town at 400 meters above sea level and included among the most beautiful villages in Italy has remained. 30 minutes to arrive.

Alberobello

Rione Monti is the heart of the trulli area that rises towards the side of a hill with small parallel streets flanked by white houses. Here there are over 1000 trulli while in the area called Rione Aia piccola there are another 400. 15 minutes to get there.

Martina Franca

Martina Franca where the Baroque defined as Martinese reigns. Martina Franca is located on a plateau that has always been inhabited, its golden age was in the 18th century when the most beautiful palaces arose among which one cannot fail to mention the Palazzo Ducale with its halls full of frescoes and the basilica of San Martino which, in the heart of the centre, is striking for its majestic façade where the statue of the patron saint stands out. 20 minutes to arrive, and about 25 minutes to return to Taranto.

I had the most wonderful experience with Guliana yesterday. I’m not from Italy and having Guliana as a guide to see beautiful towns and villages was the perfect way to to explore new areas. She was very helpful, timely, caring, and professional. And as a solo traveler, I was especially thankful to feel safe with her. She knew all of the perfect spots and routes to take on my journey!

The visit to Alberobella was more complicated than it needed to be, waiting for 3-4 groups to be transferred from the larger van to a smaller one.

Seeing the trulli houses was great. However, the whole trip would have been infinitely better with a different guide. He didn't introduce himself to the group, or speak at all en route to our various stops, nor did he give us any information once we had arrived! It was such a shame as we felt we missed so much of what could have been a fantastic day.

The perfect tour. Arriving from a cruise ship, the guides (driver, host, interpreter), and a clean, modern mini bus were waiting for us. There were three of us on the tour including my wife and me. The tour itself was simply a visit to three beautiful towns - Locorotondo, Alberobello and Martina Franca. At each location we were dropped off, pointed in the right direction and picked up about an hour later at a pre-arranged spot. Each town was a different and thoroughly enjoyable experience but the highlight was the visit to Alberobello where our hosts walked with us to help gain access to one of the numerous trulli houses. Throughout the tour, the guide team were super friendly, helpful and returned us to the ship exactly on schedule. Thoroughly recommended.

Well planned small group trip to 3 lovely villages. You don’t get long in each but enough to see the highlights for sure. The meeting point in Taranto isn’t where they show in the picture on the booking, it’s much further down the bus station, just by the port entrance.

Outstanding half-day tour of the region with stops in Martina Franca, Cisterni, Locorotondo Savelletri and drop off in Alberobello. It was a pleasure to plan this excursion with Giuliana, who joined the tour with our excellent driver. The tour was well-paced, and never rushed, with time to wander and take pictures. Giuliana is very professional and knowledgeable. Great time. Highly recommend!
