- Bari - Departure from Piazza Eroi del Mare in Bari driving to Matera. The order of the visits in Matera and Alberobello could be reversed. - Matera - Matera, Basilicata’s jewel, may be the world’s third-longest continuously inhabited human settlement. Natural caves in the tufa limestone, exposed as the Gravina cut its gorge, attracted the first inhabitants perhaps 7000 years ago. More elaborate structures were built atop them. Today, looking across the gorge to Matera’s huddled sassi (cave dwellings) it seems you’ve been transported back to the ancient Holy Land. - Parco Naturale Regionale Terra delle Gravine - The driving route may vary depending on traffic conditions. The order of the visits in Matera and Alberobello could be reversed. - Alberobello - Unesco World Heritage Site Alberobello resembles an urban sprawl – for gnomes. The zona dei trulli on the westernmost of the town’s two hills is a dense mass of 1500 beehive-shaped houses, white-tipped as if dusted by snow. These drystone buildings are made from local limestone; none are older than the 14th century. - Bari - Trasferimento a bordo del minivan per rientrare al punto di partenza dove terminerà il tour.

Memories of a Lifetime! - Our Velo Service driver was great! He was a good driver and pointed out things of interest along the way from Bari to Alberobello and Matera. He added to our fun that day and helped to give us memories for a lifetime. I would recommend Velo Service to anyone who wants to do the same loop.

Excellent - Ohi Dorotea, ciao!
I chose this tour based on the positive reviews, and it met my expectations and even exceeded them. I was passing through Puglia, but I knew that Matera was exactly the fairytale place I had dreamed of in Italy. And with an honest price, I also discovered Alberobello, which is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend it!

Best hotels in Alberobello and Matera - Welcome in front of a new and clean mini van, in which we settled for a scenic trip along the Bari seafront, which took us to Alberobello. Extremely professional, smiling and above all helpful guide. She took care of my husband, who after an operation still has difficulty walking, finding the right balance with the rest of the group. In Matera they offered us an even better service at no additional cost, a gesture that we greatly appreciated! A very special attention to the participants. Great price!

Top! - I returned to Puglia for the second time and, based on the great reviews, I chose this agency to visit Alberobello and Matera in one day. That's right! The first time I had relied on public transport, taking a whole day to hastily and badly visit only one city. This time, however, I could enjoy both destinations in total relaxation, with impeccable organization. If I were to return to Bari, I would rely on them again without hesitation. Thanks Luca for the professionalism and passion!

Perfect for those without cars - As a local without a car, this tour was the ideal choice to let my friends visit Alberobello and Matera. Comfortable transfer by minivan from the center of Bari and expert guide who tells history, anecdotes and folklore. Impeccable organization, perfect for discovering two UNESCO jewels in a single day. Highly recommended!
