Fun and learning experience all in one! - Gian Franco was a wonderful guide. He made this experience fun, on such a hot day! His recommendation for a restaurant in Alberobello was spot on. He was also so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions as if it were his pleasure. We learned a lot of new things, so grazie, G.F.

A beautiful day out of Bari - If you have a few days Bari (and haven't rented a car), you should not miss this beautiful tour. Even on a cloudy day--like the day we had-- Monopoli and Polginano are stunning coastal towns, each with a unique character that will expand your sense of what makes Puglia such a special region. And then there are the trulli of Alberobello, which are truly a must! I felt almost guilty adding to the unfortunate touristic crush in this unique and formerly quiet area, but these houses are like nothing else on earth--and our guide Fabio helped make them meaningful by telling us about their history. He also took us into a trulli opened by its owner, who had grown up there in the '50s with his family. We also had a marvelous salad at the restaurant Fabio recommended--and mourned the olive trees dying around us as Fabio filled us in on the history (and hopes for renewal) in Puglia's olive industry. I have a new taste for artisanal extra virgin oil that I've been enjoying since. Best of all, by the time we arrived back in Bari we felt like friends not just with Fabio (who was a terrific host as well as a great guide) but also with the two other travelers in the car. Highly recommended!

Very professionel yet personal tour. - Truly amazing trip. Our guide was very friendly and was taking us around the towns with a calm and professional atmosphere. There is no doubt that he had planned everything down to the smallest detail. Both the stories and the walking routes. There was also just the right amount of room for questions, and taking in the sights. Our tour leader knew how to adjust to our small group. This is by the best guided tour I’ve had and I hope all the best for the future of GoBari.

A beautiful day in Puglia - Our leader, Vincenzo, was wonderful. So warm and friendly and very informative about all three towns we visited. Nothing rushed but nothing missed. We thought it was great in every way. Our only complaint was to return to our hotel and find Viator had this exact tour advertised tomorrow for half the price they charged us!
