Taranto to discover in calessino - As soon as we arrived in Taranto we took the calessino tour to get the first perfect impression of the city. We had “Antonio” who accompanied us, I appreciated him so much because apart from showing us the most beautiful and important places, he transmitted us a part of the history of this wonderful city. Taranto is a beautiful city that is to live and discover all💫 Absolutely to recommend a ride in calessino and maybe if you are lucky with a person like “Antonio” Thank you very much for this lovely experience

The Taranto you don't expect - I went with my family on my birthday for a ride around Taranto in a calessino. Waiting for us was Massimo, our driver guide. It turned out to be a perfect experience to visit the beauties of Taranto, both in the new and old part of the city. Taranto is a city with enormous potential. I hope that in the coming years it will be enhanced more and more. I recommend the visit in calessino by mom and as an amateur of discovery.

A personalized visit for a photo shoot in the heart of Taranto Vecchia - I asked Giovanni of "Taranto in calessino" to take a personalized tour to take pictures in the heart of Taranto Vecchia, in the less touristy streets of the city. I was accompanied by Dr. Massimo Mangiavacchi, expert in the sciences of cultural heritage. I couldn't have hoped for anything better. I also recommend it to those who already know Taranto for the level of depth of the visit. Very useful also to those who want to return to visit the individual monuments, to have a broader look, an "image of the city" as Walter Benjamin wrote. Thank you.

Although we're only about 20... - Although we could only start about 20 minutes later -as agreed- in the city, it was a great tour! The guide Luigi explained everything to us well; at the end of the tour he drove us back to the port! Thanks for the great tour!

Disappointing - The meeting place was not clear. The photo showed one place and the person picking us up was at another. He did not look for us and we ended up finding him. The tour that was supposed to be an hour lasted 30 minutes. Very disappointed.
