Great day visiting Martina Franca, Alberobello and Ostuni from Lecce. Pick-up was right at the hotel. The highlight for me was Alberobello, a truly unique place. Ostuni was unique and interesting too. The tour was well arranged, the communication before the tour with Stefano wereresponsive and helpful. The guide, Anita, was wonderful. Fun personality and encyclopedic knowledge of the three towns we visited. Using Lecce as a base to explore the region it would not be easy to explore all 3 towns on your own. The Salento Experience tour made it simple and enjoyable.

We were a group of 9 people and we decided to visit Puglia in winter. The experience was fabulous as there were very few people around the touristic sights and the pictures you could take without the crowds were fantastic! On the other hand the weather is not that hot like in summer, but it's pleasant for walking and it gives you opportunity to indulge in the atmosphere of the small towns around the coast and the inner part of Puglia without being in a hurry for a shade. We contacted a local tour operator who organised a full day trip from Lecce to Monopoli, Polignano a Mare, Alberobello and Locorotondo in a day. The price was reasonable and we had a bus dedicated to us for the whole day. A local guide Feredica accompanied us - and she was great! We spent more time in Monopoli and Alberobello, while in the other towns we had an hour or less. It was really enough to discover the beauty of the places. I strongly recommend the full day tour from Lecce if you have limited time or you want to stay on the beach during summer time.

This was a wonderful trip through beautiful countryside with visits to fascinating towns. Donatella, our guide, was knowledgeable and wonderful. An added benefit of this kind of tour is that the driver can drop you off and pick you up in the center of each historic town. If you drove by yourself you would have to park very far away in most cases.

Stefano è stata una ottima guida. Cordiale e discreta. Ci ha illustrato il territorio, le usanze e gli usi locali. Sempre attento e premuroso ai nostri bisogni. Ci ha accompagnato per Ostuni, Alberobello e Locorotondo. Una bella esperienza. Vivamente consigliato.

Siamo rimasti affascinati dai paesaggi che abbiamo visitato che avevano qualcosa di incantato. Casette bianche e viuzze caratteristiche, terrazzi fioriti, deliziose piazzette, tutto ricordava tempi lontani. La nostra guida Daniela è riuscita a trasmetterci l'atmosfera magica che aleggiava in questi piccoli borghi. Alberobello poi è unico, il suo centro storico con i suoi trulli è qualcosa di inspiegabile. Un tour da non perdere.
