We have just completed our 8-day tour of Puglia with GoinItaly, guided by wonderful Gaetano Barrone. We were given the very best of service by a capable, knowledgeable and attentive tour leader. Gaetano goes out of his way to meet the needs of guests and takes genuine delight in sharing the country he knows so well. Highlights of the tour include great accommodation including a stay in a traditional Trollope in Alberobello. The tour included amazing food and wine experiences as well as visits to many wonderful churches, castles and beautiful Southern Italian towns. Highly recommend this company if you are planning to visit southern Italy.

Highly recommend Martino’s cycling tour. Fabulous and unique experience riding through some beautiful countryside. Martino had good local knowledge of the region. Very friendly and kind.The E-bikes were excellent- easy to ride and suit all levels of cycling experience. We had a few short rides in traffic, but my husband and I felt completely safe following Martino’s directions. Thanks for a fabulous cycling experience.
