Great local experience - For me it was a private tour since there were no other travellers who booked on that day. Vito is a very knowledgeable guide and the two spots chosen for the tour are definitely worth visiting. They are very authentic and deferent from each other. I enjoyed my trip!

Vito saves the day and makes it all amazing - Vito was a world class tour guide having accommodated 61000 clients before me. When my original tour fell through he was willing to take a solo traveller on the experience of a lifetime. He guided me through the history and unique structures that make up Matera and Alberobello. Because it was the low season I had some of these historic spaces to myself. Vito is passionate about his home region of Puglia and his enthusiasm is infectious. 10/10 would recommend.

Superb - The entire tour was excellent. Vito was terrific. Not only was he knowledgeable, he was a lot of fun. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough, and I will definitely use his company again. Bari is sensational.

Alberobello is Hidden Gem Full of Wonder - This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever gone. We were lucky enough to be there during a summer festival. The white Trullis were sparkling with strings of yellow light. The people are warm and welcoming. The food amazing. The streets are full of shops with local item vs the tourist trap magnets. There are some of those, but overall so great. The thing that really stays with me is watching the look on my partner face as he 1st saw the town. He was just taking it all in. Look of pure wonder. Go.

nice tour in Puglia - we appreciated the guide who was very experienced on explaining the history which we don't really interested in unfortunately . we didn't spent too much time on taking some good photo nor shopping . The guide also the driver who can drive over 130 km on a 90 km zone 🫣 . we just too nervous and stressful on this. Thanks God that we are safe home . other than that it was great to see this two towns at once on a semi private group .

Consider an alternate way to see these places. - I would hesitate before booking this tour. It is very rushed and the driving is unsafe (at one point we were going 90 mph in 40 mph zone). You have no “free time” in either stop. There was no dedicated time for lunch either, just a quick stop to grab a snack. Matera and Alberobello are worth seeing, but I would consider an alternative way of getting there, especially given the price of this tour.
