Excellent tour to Matera and Alberobello - This is an excellent way to explore Matera and Alberobello from Bari, without having to drive on your own. The coach was comfortable, the driver was very good, and Daniella our guide was excellent. The tours given by Daniella in both places were very informative, interesting and informative. As well, there was adequate time on our own for personal explorations and to have a bite to eat. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great Opportunity To See Two Beautiful Cities - My family and I truly enjoyed this guided tour! It was wonderful to see two world heritage UNESCO sites, both in one day. The time spent in each city was ample to provide us with an overview of the history of both places.

UNESCO tour review - Average tour. The positives were that the bus had AC and delivered us safely to destinations. The guide was somewhat knowledgeable, helpful to answer questions; however, the language barrier made understanding somewhat difficult. The constant smoking and limited opportunity to take photos made the actual tour a little unpleasant and frustrating. There are plenty of tours happening in these amazing places throughout the day that may deliver better value compared to what we paid at $170 per person.

Running - It was only walking in the old part of Matera.The view of Matera was the best. We miss visiting caves, churches, what was written in the programme. The tour was a continous running.

Very bad experience - This tour would have been amazing if it had not been CANCELLED the day before. No reason give, just couldn't do it that day. We had only one day in Bari and really wanted to do this tour. We were not able to book another tour, even a private guide. TripAdvisor should not deal with this local company or have backup plan available.
