Highlights

Travel to the UNESCO–listed town of Alberobello — famous worldwide for its cone-shaped houses, or ‘trulli’. These fascinating dry-stone constructions were originally built as shelter or housing by peasants and shepherds, and many are still lived in today.

On arrival, explore the streets of Alberobello and admire the architecture for which the town is famous. Step inside the ‘trulli’ — some renovated, others not — and listen as your guide sheds light on the region’s colorful past.

Visit a small chapel dedicated to the saints and doctors of the Rione Monti in Rome, and stroll past artisan shops where tradespeople sell their wares. Then, head up the hill to the Church of St. Anthony — also built in the local ‘trullo’ style.

During your tour, sample sweet treats made of almond paste and rosolio — a traditional Italian liquor derived from rose petals. Then, when your time in Alberobello comes to an end, return to Bari

Great experience but disappointed with Viator - The trulli houses were great to see. The guide gave us good information and showed us the best views. The tour operator was kind enough to pick us up from our B&B and drop us at the airport at a slightly higher expense. Although this trip went well, overall extremely disappointed with Viator since we had 2 last minute cancellations in one week (one for Postojna Cave and one Pompei trip from Rome).

Terribly organised tour - Honestly disappointed by this tour. We spent more time in the modern part of Alberobello than actually walking amongst the trulli. The tour wasn’t long enough it was only a 4-5hr tour. The tour was sold as if we got to see inside them but we never went inside any. We spent ages waiting for our guide when we arrived and stood outside talking about the history rather than walking amongst them all and only got to see a few from the outside. Definitely avoid this tour!

We were picked up in Bari late... - <p>We were picked up in Bari late closer to 10am not 9:30am, driver took long route thru many small towns arrived Trulli 1.5 hr later. We were hooked up with a tour guide who apparently already had a gruop, we followed him for less then 1/2hr then he cut us loss for free time and went on with the gruop. It was now 12 noon and our pick up time to return was 3pm, I instructed guide to call and get pick up at 2pm as there is virtually nothing to do in Alberobello commercialized Disneyland Our pick up was by owner of tour, asked if we enjoyed, told him of our disappointment, he summonded the guide who denied all, started to argue with me, told owner just drive us back to Bari. Noticed he took a shorter way back ? Took an hour ?Told him again believe what you want but the times confirm my claim. Will contact Viator to complain if no satifaction never again will I BOOK WITH THEM !!</p>
