Matera and Alberobello - Amazing tour, knowledgeable guide. I would definitely recommend this tour. Both towns are worth a visit since they are so unique and historic.

Excellent tour to Matera and Alberobello - This is an excellent way to explore Matera and Alberobello from Bari, without having to drive on your own. The coach was comfortable, the driver was very good, and Daniella our guide was excellent. The tours given by Daniella in both places were very informative, interesting and informative. As well, there was adequate time on our own for personal explorations and to have a bite to eat. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great Opportunity To See Two Beautiful Cities - My family and I truly enjoyed this guided tour! It was wonderful to see two world heritage UNESCO sites, both in one day. The time spent in each city was ample to provide us with an overview of the history of both places.

Very enjoyable day - Thought Matera was beautiful and the history was very interesting. Quite a lot of steps but we managed well. Good amount if time here too. Alberello was lovely too and the trulli houses were so different to anything we’ve seen before. Felt we could have been given some local history on our bus journeys but some people had only paid for transport and not tour so maybe that’s why. Although we both enjoyed the day we did feel it was overpriced.

UNESCO tour review - Average tour. The positives were that the bus had AC and delivered us safely to destinations. The guide was somewhat knowledgeable, helpful to answer questions; however, the language barrier made understanding somewhat difficult. The constant smoking and limited opportunity to take photos made the actual tour a little unpleasant and frustrating. There are plenty of tours happening in these amazing places throughout the day that may deliver better value compared to what we paid at $170 per person.

Running - It was only walking in the old part of Matera.The view of Matera was the best. We miss visiting caves, churches, what was written in the programme. The tour was a continous running.

Not good value I'm afraid! - Somewhat overpriced for what we had. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable but the organisation of the group using roll calls and a phone was too haphazard. We lost 30 min at Matera because two people were left behind at the meeting place and so cut short our next venue. You should be more professional over lists and checking who is present. There was no welcome aboard at the start and no helpful announcements at all on the coach. All in all poor value for money particularly as it is now being advertised at less than half the price we paid.

Very bad experience - This tour would have been amazing if it had not been CANCELLED the day before. No reason give, just couldn't do it that day. We had only one day in Bari and really wanted to do this tour. We were not able to book another tour, even a private guide. TripAdvisor should not deal with this local company or have backup plan available.
