We were staying in Lecce and did this tour in September. It was a great way to see the major sites of 4 nearby towns and hear some of the history. Our guide spoke very good english and he and our driver were both excellent. Highly recommended!

We set up a 4 day tour during our visit to Puglia recently. Months ahead I contacted Tours of Puglia to help us get the most of our visit. Francesca asked us what we wanted to see instead of telling us “this is the Tours we have”. Our main goal was to visit our ancestral home of Alberobello. I also asked her recommendations, which she gladly provided. She set up a full 4 days of touring which included 2 night stays in Alberobello (Trullo houses) and Lecce. We visited all of the main sites of Puglia like Locorotondo, Matera , Ostuni, etc....she included an incredible meal each day, including a meal at a Masseria....our guides, Vincenzo and Flo were beyond incredible....they were like walking historic encyclopedias. Vincenzo was instrumental is us locating the street in Alberobello where our grandmother was born. They, and our drivers, went out of their way to insure we missed nothing. We were just 4, so everything could be personalized. Everything went as planned and we could not have asked for for more....we cannot recommend Tours of Puglia mort highly...

Paola and Donato have “unearthed” a brilliant wine museum dated back to 1572 with lots of hard work and passion. The museum is very interesting and Paola’s tour fun and informative. Then down to the cellar for tasting and yummy local food. We tasted 3 wines which were all superb but varied. We enjoy being able to chat with these 2 very passionate young men who shared their journey with us. They were also interested in our experiences with wine at home and elsewhere. If you are in Altamura don’t miss this enjoyable and very good value for money tour.

Explore Alberobello with a local guide and leave the beaten path by visiting also the less commercialized and therefore non-touristic side of the old town. Alberobello, UNESCO World Heritage site and so called "capital of the trulli-houses", features a concentration of more than 1400 of Apulia’s typical trulli on the two hills “Aia piccola” and “Rione monti”. This rural and unique architecture of cone-shaped dwellings is found in the entire Apulian region, usually scattered between endless olive groves and low-set vineyards. Discover why this stunning, mortar-less architecture was so popular in the past and how the trulli were build. After a nice walk through this fairy-tale town you will have some time to mingle with the locals in one of the numerous coffee or wine bars, visit the weekly market or to explore typical handmade fabrics and artisan crafts in some of the shops in the historical district.

Inclusions: Hotel pickup and drop-off - Fasano/Savelletri/Torre Canne/Polignano a Mare/Monopoli/Ostuni Marina, Local guide

Exclusions: Food and drinks

Our travel agent in the UK used Acampora for local arrangements on the ground for a private trip. They were superb - very reliable, knowledgeable guides, really helpful and went the extra mile to accommodate what we were interested in seeing/learning about, as well as to find great views and lunch places. Always on time and very professional. We were 2 people in a Mercedes people carrier and travelled on a day trip from Positano to Amalfi/Ravello/Scala, on another day Pompeii (4 hours with a guide!), and on our final day Herculaneum. We also spent a day without a car in Naples, at the Archaeological Museum (3 hours with a guide). The transfer from Naples to Positano was in the same Mercedes. Many thanks to Ugo the guide, Leonardo the driver, and also Giulia the guide!

Manuel picked us up from our hotel in Positano and drove us to the Naples train station. He was on-time, professional, and so easy to talk to! He pointed out sights along the way and treated us to his amazing singing voice. A wonderful, stress-free experience.
