Highlights
  • 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.
  • 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.

Top tour - We had Stephano as our guide. He was on time at the pick up point and greeted us warmly. The days program went off without any issues, Stephano was able to drop us as close as possible to locations we wanted to see and always was on time at allocated pick up times. He was also excellent in telling us where to go to see the highlights, offered valuable recommendations for where we could go for food and drinks at various locations. ( he recommended a bar that has gluten free beer that I can drink and their panini’s were fabulous, gluten free aswell).My wife and I had many questions about the region and he handled all questions with great knowledge. His English was very good. I highly recommend this tour, we don’t usually take many tours but this one was excellent. Thank you Stephano

Ostuni, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare - My mother and I took the tour of the cities of Ostuini, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare, and it was an incredible experience. The tour was very well organized and the guide, Stefano, was exceptional. He was attentive, informative and went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant and memorable experience. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants to explore the best of Puglia in one day.

Great day trip in Puglia - We were given the details of this tour operator by another couple who were staying at the same hotel as us. Our hotel was so isolated that for an extra €70 we were collected and we returned to our hotel. This a result as the local taxis wanted €100 to Lecce and return to our hotel. Our guide Stefano arrived as arranged and off we went. Stefano speaks English and has spent some time in London so he has some understanding about the English quirky ways. He is very knowledgeable about Puglia region and also very passionate about it and it’s history. First stop was at Ostuni, known as the White village. This is a very pretty town with great views. After Stefano had told us the history of the town we had an hour to explore on our own. We thought this would be plenty but after walking the town wall we had run out of time but still saw all we wanted. Next stop was to Alberobello which is where 1500 Trulli houses are situated. En route we were lucky to see an Italian Wolf in the fields. Whilst going there Stefano told us about the origins of the Trulli and also where to find the Trulli church. He also gave us a great recommendation for lunch. We had 2 hours here and the it was off to the final part of the tour, the coastal resort ofPoliggnano a Mare. More info from Stefano about the town and what to see in the old town. We are in our seventies with mobility issues but Stefano made sure that we were ok and safe all day. All in all this was a terrific day out with a superb guide and I would recommend it to anyone

Fantastic tour in Puglia - I can't say enough good things about this tour! Our guide/driver, Stefano, was fantastic. You can tell he enjoys his job and wants you to have the best experience possible! He is proud of his country and is very knowledgeable. This tour was the highlight of my vacation and I would recommend it to family and friends. The tour starts from your hotel, I couldn't have asked for anything better. The minivan you travel in is new and very comfortable. The light lunch we had in Alberobello was delicious: the burrata is delicious!! To complete the day, an excellent ice cream in Polignano a Mare in front of the crystalline sea. We highly recommend Salento Experience for the quality of the tours they offer.
