Amazing day trip from Bari! - Do yourself a favour and book the day trip to Alberobello and Matera. Our guide, Andreas, was amazing with a real knowledge and understanding of both sites. We had a much more interesting, informative and relaxed day with him than if we had hired a car and done it ourselves. Transport was comfortable, clean and cool on such a hot day and our driver, Chester (hope that is how it is spelt) was excellent. Thoroughly recommend this company and tour.

Matero and Alberobello - The trip to Matero and Alberobello was fascinating and thanks to our excellent guide Andreas extremely informative. He guided us through both sites with excellent explanations and brought along his book with photographs to help with the explanations. An excellent insight into the history of this region.

Great tour with a great guide! - Andrea’s was a great guide! He answered all of our questions and went out of his way to make sure we saw everything we could squeeze into our day. He had plenty of water available for us and he had a bag of snacks that were local from Bari. He was always conscience of our comfort and was very knowledgeable of each of the towns. He and our driver were great and I highly recommend this tour. Matera is not to be missed!

Visit of the old town of Bari, Matera and Alberobello - The old town of Bari is amazing and there is so much to see. The castle is not to be missed as are the cathedral of San Nikola and other churches. The narrow streets are full of character and we also attended a pasta-making session. We also visited the UNESCO sites of Matera with a very good guide and Alberobello which is home to the Trulli.

Expert guides made for a perfect tour - If you are considering a visit to Puglia, do not hesitate to book this tour with Andreas and Danielle-the guide is kind, helpful, punctual, incredibly knowledgeable, humble, provides interesting background insight
And most of all-he really understands when to lead and when to step back and let the group have space and freedom to relax and visit
Definitely do not miss Matera, and if you choose this tour I'm confident you'll have a seamless experience

Superb day! - The whole day from pick up to drop off from our b&b was an absolute memorable experience. Our guide Andreas & driver Vincenzo were most friendly & experienced. Andreas is very knowledgeable on both Alberobello & Matera history & his English is impeccable. We would highly recommend this tour if you are interested in the privacy & comfort not like huge groups.

Not Private, but Good Overall Group Tour - I would like to share with future tour goers, this is NOT a private tour. It is a small group so be ok with the price knowing this.
Overall, the tour and pickup was fine. I think there could have been more facts, history, and evolution over time of the 2 places, especially Matera. I left a bit disappointed with my experience and knowledge shared there given it's 10k years old. It felt more like we were taken to just take photos and less exploring/fact finding.
The rides were nice and smooth and local pickup was appreciated. My rating would be a 7 out of 10.
