- Ostuni - Ostuni, a picturesque town to be experienced. Known as the “White City”, Ostuni boasts a wonderful medieval village, rich with alleys and whitewashed houses, which recalls an oriental landscape. You will have free time to visit the old town centre, called “la terra” (“the land”), characterized by alleys, sloping stairs, courtyards and small squares, where whitewashed houses, craft shops and typical small shops appear.
- Locorotondo - Locorotondo nicknamed “the balcony on the Itria Valley” because of its spectacular valley view.
- Alberobello - Visiting the beautiful Alberobello is like a journey in a timeless country. You will have free time at disposal to explore its characteristic historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is integrally made up of Trulli, particular white, pyramidal structures that make it unique in the world and represent one of the most extraordinary examples of Italian folk architecture. Particularly striking are the two districts: “Rione Monti” with its local handcrafts shops and “Aia Piccola”, where the most ancient Trulli and little museums are situated.
- Polignano a Mare - The beautiful Polignano a Mare, birthplace to the famous Domenico Modugno. Polignano a Mare stands on a cliff falling sheer to the sea. You will have free time at disposal to explore the historic center and the remains of Roman rule. Among the latter, the bridge of the Via Traiana, still viable. Entering the historic center, through a maze of streets, alleys and squares animated by local shops and restaurants, you find yourself on three terraces overlooking the sea to enjoy a breathtaking view.

A fantastic trip that is strongly encouraged - Stefano is an excellent tour guide who has a real passion for the region, its history and culture. He is also a pleasure to spend the day with because he gives us free time to walk around and enjoy the towns and he is very accommodating and answers all our questions. The minivan transport was excellent, with air conditioning.
He taught us a lot about the different towns (Ostuni, Alberobello and Polignano) we visited, the culture and history. He gave us a clear orientation on arrival in each town, including excellent recommendations for strategic corners for a reat view as well as food and drink, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience. The Burrata was excellent and the special coffee.
Every city is unique and offers a different experience. We had a great time and I would recommend visiting and enjoying the White City with the expert Stefano.

A great day out, highly recommended - We did two tours with Stefano and they were both great !
Stefano is a great tour guide and has a real passion for the region, its history and culture. He’s also good fun to spend the day with and very accommodating for photo stops and answering lots of questions in very good English 😎
We learnt a lot from him about the different towns we visited, the Greek and Spanish influences on the region and the main sites to visit. He gave us clear orientation on arrival at each town including great recommendations for food & drinks which made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience.
The tour visited Ostuni, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare and passed through a number of other towns along the way. Each town is unique and offers a different experience.
Ostuni is a beautiful white city that stands out on a hill above the green valley below. It has a beautiful square and the cathedral and baroque arch are worth the climb ! You can also get lovely coffee and cakes as a reward for your efforts…
The Trulli in Alberobello, hundreds of years old, are a really unique part of the heritage in this area and you will not see anywhere else ! A great place to wander around.
My favourite place was Polignano with its houses perched on cliffs overlooking the sea in the old town. After wandering the narrow streets, you can watch the cliff divers, take in the beach below and enjoy the sea view from one of the balconies which are a real treat to find. Also a great place for a glass of wine or “special” coffee before heading home!
During travel time you get to see the beautiful Itria valley and the thousands of ancient olive trees and vines. It really makes you appreciate the olive oil and wines of the region. A great day out !

Fantastic tour in Puglia - A convenient way to see 3 cities in Puglia without having to drive. Our Guide Stefano was a very prepared young man. He introduced us to Puglia excellently and answered all our questions from culture to history. In each city gave us all kinds of information and advice on what to visit and where to eat, the burrata we tried in Alberobello was excellent! The special coffee of Polignano was also good. We had the right free time to explore the cities on our own, which was nice. Recommendation to everyone.
