Get to know Taranto in an hour - Thanks to the immense knowledge of Raffaella, super guide, who in one hour made us discover a beautiful and historic city like Taranto with all the historical glimpses from the ancient Greeks to today. If you are in a hurry and you are passing through and want to know and see the major attractions of the city in a very short time we recommend this Experience and you will take home photos of places and history pills!!

Taranto and the calessino ride - We booked a calessino that had Vittoria as driver, in her first week of work. We visited the Umbertino district and Taranto Vecchia in about an hour. Vittoria described the various, imposing palaces of the fascist era and provided interesting information and original curiosities about Taranto Vecchia, the Basilica of San Cataldo and much more. The experience was also very pleasant for the added value of the passion, competence and great love that Vittoria has for her city.

Taranto in calessino with passion - The first time Taranto and we decided to take a ride on the Cassini with a guided tour. Victory driver and guide of the calessino. He guided us within an hour on the tour of Taranto new and old with absolutely interesting information and curiosities. Vittoria impressed us for her great competence, for her passion and because she fell in love with her city she transmitted to us the part of cultural interest and great rebirth of the city. Congratulations.!

Calessino and Luigi at the wheel: experience TOP! - The tour in Calessino to the center of Taranto is highly recommended to know the city! Luigi will be your guide / driver, he knows the city like his pocket and with him you can delve into the alleys of the old city knowing details and anecdotes. Luigi is available to stop to take pictures or make you admire a church from the inside or a panorama from one of Taranto’s promenades. In short .. we recommend it and give luigi 10 stars!!
