- Ostuni - Ostuni is a charming town that offers a delightful experience. Known as the “White City,” it features a stunning medieval village filled with narrow alleys and whitewashed houses, reminiscent of an oriental setting. Visitors can enjoy free time exploring the old town center, known as “la terra” (“the land”), which is characterized by winding alleys, sloping staircases, courtyards, and small squares. Here, whitewashed homes, artisan shops, and quaint boutiques abound.
- Locorotondo - Locorotondo is affectionately called “the balcony on the Itria Valley” due to its breathtaking views of the valley.
- Alberobello - A visit to the enchanting Alberobello feels like stepping into a timeless realm. Guests have free time to explore its unique historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is entirely composed of Trulli, distinctive white, conical structures that are unparalleled worldwide and exemplify remarkable Italian folk architecture. Noteworthy are the two districts: “Rione Monti,” known for its local craft shops, and “Aia Piccola,” home to the oldest Trulli and small museums.
- Polignano a Mare - The stunning Polignano a Mare, the birthplace of the renowned Domenico Modugno, is perched on a cliff that plunges into the sea. Visitors have free time to explore the historic center and remnants of Roman influence, including the still-passable Via Traiana bridge. As you enter the historic center, a labyrinth of streets, alleys, and squares bustling with local shops and eateries leads to three terraces offering breathtaking sea views.

Ostuni, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare family day trip - We had a brilliant day trip with Stefano. He is so knowledgeable about the area and we had the perfect amount of time in each of the 3 gorgeous towns. Would highly recommend!

Excellent tour especially... - Excellent tour especially because it is included Polignano a Mare, which is beautiful. An additional comment deserves the guide/driver Stefano, who was always attentive to every detail and every need of ours. Great pro!

Excellent day tour - I highly recommend this tour, and the tour company.
Stefano was our driver and guide today, and he was excellent.
Firstly we were picked up in a nice clean mini van and felt safe on the roads at all times with Stefano.
He chatted to us and gave some excellent history of the region we were travelling to and great recommendations in each town for where to have a coffee break or lunch etc., along with directions for what to see while we were wandering through each town.
This was a full 8 hour tour and it exceeded my expectations.

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.
