The entire tour was excellent. Vito was terrific. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was a lot of fun. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough, and I will definitely use his company again. Bari is sensational.

we appreciated the guide who was very experienced on explaining the history which we don't really interested in unfortunately . we didn't spent too much time on taking some good photo nor shopping . The guide also the driver who can drive over 130 km on a 90 km zone 🫣 . we just too nervous and stressful on this. Thanks God that we are safe home . other than that it was great to see this two towns at once on a semi private group .

This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever gone. We were lucky enough to be there during a summer festival. The white Trullis were sparkling with strings of yellow light. The people are warm and welcoming. The food amazing. The streets are full of shops with local item vs the tourist trap magnets. There are some of those, but overall so great. The thing that really stays with me is watching the look on my partner face as he 1st saw the town. He was just taking it all in. Look of pure wonder. Go.

Great way to see Matera and Alberobello if you don’t have a car! Vito was great and I would highly recommend!

I would hesitate before booking this tour. It is very rushed and the driving is unsafe (at one point we were going 90 mph in 40 mph zone). You have no “free time” in either stop. There was no dedicated time for lunch either, just a quick stop to grab a snack. Matera and Alberobello are worth seeing, but I would consider an alternative way of getting there, especially given the price of this tour.

Travelled by car from Bari to both places. It was great to be picked up and dropped off at hotel. There was a lot of driving compared to the time in towns. Both were incredibly interesting to see, and I probably could have pottered longer in both, but spare time wasn't really on the itinerary. With a good audio guide, and a car, you could do this yourself, and take as long as you want in each town. I did the other towns on my own and the train!

This is a little town of Puglian fairytale. Neatled in the Itria Valley is the capital of Trulli. Start by heading to the Rione Monte ,where the Church of Sant Antonio stands proudly at the top shaped like a trullo,of course.From the Aia Piccola discrict admire some of the most beautiful panoramic views of the city. It is under UNESCO protection from 1996 due to its trulli houses ,some of them are quite luxury. Matera ,you will never find a similar city. Also known as the Underground city and is famous for its historic center called Sassi wish has been a UNESCO world Heritage Site since 1993. Must see . Enjoy the gold history of Puglia Italy.
