    Awesome experience in Ostuni
    Valeria was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Ostuni. She is an excellent guide who shared information of the original walls of Ostuni and the founding families. My wife and I enjoyed the beautiful sights of Ostuni and were glad we had Valeria to tell us about the city that we would not have known about if we hadn't taken the tour. Awesome experience in Ostuni

    Monopoli in one morning
    Our guide, Valeria, introduced us to the history and architecture of Monopoli before we started our tour of the old city streets, piazzas and protecting walls. We strolled along the water, following the ancient walls wherever they survived and talking about the changes brought about by the various invaders and rulers. We were in admiration of the Duomo where Valeria described the inside in detail, legends included. As a conclusion, Valeria treated us to a Barese piece of focaccia, nice gesture on her part and truly delicious.

    Guided walking tour of Monopoli ……..a must !!
    Valeria is the consummate guide …..very knowledgeable, articulate with a warm personality and importantly for us, a sense of humour. Our walking tour of the historic town of Monopoli was fantastic….far better than wandering the alleyways with a map & guide book as we saw other tourists doing …..she told us all the interesting facts but not in “university terms “ …..mixed with humorous anecdotes and local insights. We ended our walk with a delicious gelato from Gasperini opened since 1936 !! Grazie mille Valeria Mark & Nicole Australia
