Highly recommended excursion - We loved the guided tour of Ilenia. He showed a high level of the Castilian language, and his observations and explanations were very useful and interesting. And also his sympathy and character made us enjoy a very pleasant day.

Fabulous Exccursion - We can't recommend this tour enough and our guide was wonderful. There were 8 of us. 4 English speaking and 4 Spanish speaking. I was able to practice my Spanish comprehension listening to our guide repeat everything in Spanish. All three towns were fascinating. Clearly, we booked it to see Alberobello, but Monopoli and Polignano are must-sees, too.

Alberobello, Monopoli Polignano a Mare... all a must see on your next trip to Bari - Great tour!! Even the inclement weather couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of our small group. Enza was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable, and very accommodating to our needs for photos, coffees, etc along the way!

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!
