      The tour did not fit the presentation
      The presentation of the tour is incorrect. It is not a guided tour. The only "guidance" we received was one minute at each stop. We did not receive at least a map with a recommended path to follow during our visit, just a list of attractions about which information is easily accessible on the Internet. The visit to Complesso Rupestro was not possible - the complex was closed. I understand that the schedule is not at the agency's discretion but they could inform us a day before about that, transfer the entrance ticket for another attraction and expand the stay in Matera. We had a shorter trip (6h), in worse transportation conditions (a small car for 4 tourists + driver), without visiting the Complesso Rupestri, for the same price as a full tour. My advice: use public transportation - it will be a more comfortable and flexible visit; there is nothing you can get as a plus with this tour.

      THEY CANCEL AT LAST MINUTE
      Dishonest and untrustworthy tour company They cancelled a tour I booked 2 months in advance just 2 nights before departure. Reason was "the street is broken". Really? Yet they offered to rebook it for the next day, when I would no longer be in the departure city. This caused me major rescheduling and missing out on another tour I wanted to take. I would not trust this operator to live up to their committments.

      The company is bad
      We left late even though everyone had already arrived The car was old and air conditioning barely worked. Things were broken in the car and it was very dirty inside and out. The driver barely spoke and had not much understanding of the English language Next time I will chose another company It was extremely overpriced

      Matera and Alberobello
      Our driver Francesco was very nice and spoke great English. We chose the self guided tour and it left on time. We had a comfortable van all to ourselves. He provided good recommendations for food and gelato. Highly recommend the tour.

      Beautiful countryside
      Marco was our driver and friendly. He was on time for our departure at each location. There was enough time to enjoy both stops: Alta Mura for an hour and a half and Matera for four hours. It is an incredible part of the world and if you’re looking for a private taxi, it was great. My only criticism and reason for not giving 5 stars is that he didn’t speak to us at all unless he had to. I wasn’t expecting a guided tour by any means, but he chatted away with the Italian couple about the sites we were visiting and gave us the bare minimum. Obviously English is his second language and maybe he felt uncomfortable speaking it, but even a few words about where we were going or seeing, or the history during the drive would have been appreciated.

      Matera and Altamura wow thank you
      we did this tour the day after taking the tour of the beauties of Puglia, my choice to choose this agency turned out to be fantastic, our driver Francesco was really kind, we had the chance to see a wonderful archaeological site, and we visited the historic bakeries of altamura

      Great tour, recommended!
      Great tour, Gianluca took care of all our questions & requests sometimes even before they were rising. We left on time, arriving early in Altamura having some free time to see the town, then tasting some local delicacies together. In Matera we had a luxorious 4 hour stay which allowed us to do an in-depth visit of several sights in town, overall good coverage of Matera. Have good walking shoes! Arrived on time in Bari snd Gianluca dropped is off in place of our wishes.

      My guide, Gianluca, was knowledgeable and couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating. He took me to more sites than I expected.

      nothing to complain!
      It was great; Gianluca was helpful and flexible. I was lucky to be able to book his tour to Matera on New Year’s Day. Upon arrival, he kindly helped us book another taxi to get into various viewpoints inside Matera. I’d recommend booking this tour to avoid the fuss and hassles with public transportation.

      unique emotions, fantastic tour
      we did the tour organized by Gianluca both the one that does Altamura and Matera and the tour that does Alberobello Polignano and Monopoli, we were enchanted, the first tour with Gianluca we stopped in Altamura we had a breakfast stop and then we visited the beautiful center historian of Altamura,where it is possible to visit the oven where they still make the wonderful bread, the oldest in Italy,upon our return Gianluca delighted us with a splendid and delicious focaccia and a typical pizza from Bari, after which we had 4 hours to visit the magnificence of Matera,the second tour really left me speechless I recommend this tour Gianluca was an excellent driver thanks again

      Wonderful experience with SUP instructions on the nice San Girolamo beach in Bari
      We had a wonderful experience with SUP instructions on the nice beach in Bari. The instructor was excellent. He showed us the necessary techniques and gave very good instructions, making it a fun activity. The instructor was very helpful and friendly. The communication was working fine. After ordering on Tripadvisor we received a message on email, and agreed on a time for the activity and pickup from our hotel. Transport service from our hotel was perfect, we were picked up at the agreed time, and also the return was comfortable and nice. The duration of the activity was excellent. We had plenty of time to figure out how to handle the SUP for the first time, and how to get up on the board again. After a while we were also able to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. For us who were beginners, it was good that the activity did not last longer. The one and a half hour flew away, and was entirely fun. We had a very nice time trying SUP for the very first time. Thanks a lot to Francesco and Gianluca for a very nice experience, which I would really recommend. SUP on the Bari/San Girolamo beach is a perfect thing to do, from the age of 10 to 80!

    Our driver Francesco took us to Alberobello, Monopoli and Polignano. At each stop, he briefly gave us some suggestions about where to start, where to go, what to see, which shops to avoid, and what the best restaurants are. We had 1.5-2 hours at each city to explore by ourselves, and each city was beautiful and interesting in its own way. It was definitely worth the trip.

    A two-hour stay in each small town. A tour course suitable for Koreans. No Guide but good price and time efficiency Recommendation. No matter how long it takes to eat and who likes to go to a cafe, this is a good time allocation because they get tired at the table. Especially in the summer. It's a good time to eat in Monopoly, and because seafood is delicious, it's better to eat in the street than in a proper restaurant.

    Wonderful 3 village tour departed at 9:15am and returned at 5p. Beautiful towns with plenty of time to visit each of them. Lovely
    shops/cafes and restaurants in each. We especially enjoyed Polignano Al Mare and a delicious seafood lunch in La Locando sul Porto (not the same as the one in the alleys of the old town).

    The trip and the driver was nice. However, the whole organisation was chaos - the day when we should go on the trip was changed. We were asked to come 30 mins earlier, we were almost running since we lost little bit, but driver arrived later than us. On top of that, the schedule was changed - the first was Polignano (if I would know that, I would put swimmsuit on at the apartment). Hence I would recommend to check those things in advance.

    hello good morning thank you for your review, in Puglia there are works for the G7 and this affects traffic a lot which is why we asked you well in advance to bring it forward to 9:00, unfortunately I wanted the driver to find a accident and arrived at 9.10am, for the same reason the route was changed so as not to make you spend hours in traffic but from what I see this attempt will make your day less stressful, it didn't help, maybe you preferred to spend the day in traffic, I'll keep that in mind next time

    The best tour I have taken in Italy so far. Our tour guides Danny and Alesia were awesome!! We had two tour guides who took our group of 5 in two cars. We drove the the countryside to each of the towns and it was better than driving on your own because you got to relax and look at everything. Danny was great about giving you information about each town and it’s history, food, and culture. He welcomed questions and was able to give recommendations for all around Brindisi, Bari, and Lecce. Alesia was excellent as well and made sure we had a fun experience. The olive oil tasting in Alberobello was phenomenal! This is a must do tour with these two guides. The guides were fluent in English and easy to understand. Don’t leave Italy without seeing these 3 great towns and taking this tour. You will not be disappointed.

    We took the trip with Gianluca and his crew in May 2024. They were punctual yet flexible. Please keep in mind that this is not a guided tour; rather, they provide the driver and vehicle to take you around. It was great for visits to the surrounding area of Bari. We had the option to wander around on our own or join a local tour last minute. They provided good tips as to where to visit and eat.

    We don't always want to be stuck with 50 other people on a bus and follow the strict timetable. Gianluca is a fun driver we enjoyed much on our trip. We highly recommend the company and Gianluca.

    Touring Polignano a Mare, Monopoli, and Alberobello was an enchanting journey through the heart of Puglia. Polignano's cliffside charm and breathtaking sea views set the stage for exploration. Monopoli's historic center offered a glimpse into the region's rich past, with its maze of narrow streets and picturesque harbor. Finally, Alberobello's iconic trulli houses transported us to a fairytale village. Together, these three destinations form a trifecta of beauty, culture, and history that truly captures the essence of southern Italy. Highly recommend to book this tour.

    This trip had us arrive in Monopoli just before 12 mid-day with 2.5hr stop. We wanted to visit the cathedral but it closes between 12-16:00. So it could have been better planned by the organisers. I know it states the driver is not a tour guide, though he did give pointers where to go in each town it would have been easy for him just to list points of interest whilst driving along the route.
    Alberobello is very nice but totally touristy, glad to have seen it all the same.
    I think ample time is afforded for each stop to walk around, grab a coffee or gelato.

    Our guide was a wonderful and friendly guy and he would offer to help in any way he could. Still waiting for the Gelato’s Gianluca :) 😊

    We changed a few locations based on weather conditions ( heat) and GianLuca was accomodating.

    We met in his travel office in Bari ( parking can be a nightmare so be prepared to be a little patient and allow extra time) and he offered us drinks and made us feel welcome.

    We then jumped in the car for an hour and he dropped us at Alberobello. We walked around for two hours and then he met us at the meeting spot and drove us to Polignano a Mare. He stopped in a great spot and pointed out a good eating location and where the beach was. We were then to meet him post our walking around after two hours.
    He turned up on time perfectly and then drove back to Bari.

    We had been to Monopoli so we skipped this part and spent more time in the other two locations.

    Gianluca’s English is good and was very entertaining. Great suggestions on where to go and what to do! Lovely family man also so you are in safe company.

    Don’t expect a feast of interesting facts or historically accurate insights into culture, towns, buildings or plants and fauna. This tour you will be dropped off and picked up but that’s okay as this means you have to make the effort to discover for yourself. It is was it is …and would recommend to you if you were to book, just know what to expect and if that works for you then Gianluca and his tour company will deliver.

    Great day and thx

    Gianluca was a wonderful tour guide. He let us wander on our own schedule. He was very flexible throughout the day. He had some great recommendations on places to see, places to eat, and is even going to send us recommendations for another trip we are taking to a different region in Italy later this month! So thankful we booked this tour. It was the perfect way to start our trip in Bari!
