Fantastic Tour with the Fabulous Elena - This Tour was the best way to see
Alberobello, Monopoli and Polignano.
Elena and Valerio were absolutely fabulous, Elena was so knowledgeable, caring, attentive and funny. Elena truly made our trip a memorable one. The tour was small and personal and we had the best time. Valerio was such a gentleman and his driving, knowledge and humour was a great addition. Elena and Valerio make a great team! This is such a special part of the world and to be able to see and experience so many things in a short amount of time was Fabulous!
The tour had structure but was also the perfect amount of flexible, in that we didn't miss a thing but also got to stop where we wanted and taste local foods and beverages ( if you are a coffee lover be sure to try the Special Coffee - ask Elena at the start of the tour and she will advise)
Thank you Elena and Valerio, we had the best day!

Wonderful experience with a great tour guide and driver - My family of five from ages 8 to 18 plus my wife and I had an excellent experience with the tour. Our guide, Elena, as well as our driver, Valerio, were superb. Our driver even went out of his way to ensure he parked in the shade so that the van would be as cool as possible when we returned from a stop at a site (it was a very hot day.) Elena was very knowledgeable and kind. We saw all that we needed to see, but we were never rushed. She was friendly and informative. She was engaging, and we had just the right amount of time in each location. There was no part of the tour that was boring at all. I would highly recommend this experience! We also had very pleasant tour companions.

Very professional tour guides - Great tour, knowledgeable guide (Fabio), responsible driver (Valerio). Highway was suddenly closed so Fabio had to invent a different route on the spot, and all turned out fine.

Amazing Tour of Puglia Region from Bari!! - We had an amazing tour in the Puglia region provided by our guide Elena! She was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional with personality plus. My wife and I loved spending the day with her. She brought us to spots in Monopoli, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare that tourists without a guide would never find and at just the right pace. Even went inside one of the trulli houses in Alberobello that was so unique. In summary, I highly recommend this tour. Yes,yes,yes!

Worthwhile! - Our tour guide, Uri, was knowledgeable, caring, a great communicator with a wonderful sense of humor. I liked the small group format and the choice of three diverse villages. The tour gave me a better understanding of Puglua’s history and overall culture.

No better way to see these villages!!! - A wonderful way to see three iconic Puglia towns without the hassle of train schedules, driving your own car or missing them completely!!
Elena was awesome. Very engaging and kind. Concerned about all of the group. Her English was very good. Lots of energy which was important on a long warm day. She kept the group energized!!
Highly recommend.
