Altamura Tours and Trips

A very well planned tour led by Fabio, an experienced local guide. Most of the group chose to hire e- bikes , and at various times I was envious! We rode around 30 miles a day, with only two or three serious climbs (for me - must do more training!) Interesting hotels, generally for two nights each, including a cave hotel. Good international group of ten people who all got on well.

Great tour with reasonably easy walking and lots of delicious meals and drinks. We also made some great visits, those listed as part of the itinerary and others suggested for free time. The tour leader was excellent, taking time to check we were all happy with arrangements and very knowledgeable about the tour itself and about great places to visit and eat. The hotels were generally very good though there was a change to the last two nights accommodation but the substitute was fine.

This tour exceeded all expectations. The walking was a substantial part of the experience with interesting and varied landscapes and the home grown, home made food and wine along the way was extraordinary. Many thanks to our tour guide, Massimo, who went out of his way to give everyone the best possible holiday.

I've been on lots of guided trips before and have had lots of good guides. But Massimo was the best ever! He made sure everyone was happy, healthy and safe all the time! He was knowledgeable and fun and very helpful! He took us to great restaurants and along a great cycling route. Couldn't ask for more! He was nothing less than amazing! (I wonder if he ever slept that week!?! 😂)

A great holiday, with an excellent guide and a very companionable group of fellow guests. The itinerary was a good mixture of walking and visits to culinary and cultural places. The transport and transfers worked out well and weren’t too long in distance or time. The one regret was that the last 2 nights hotel accommodation had been changed and I did not like my basement room which was very noisy from city nighttime activity and had no outlook or natural light.

The best. It suited me. Lovely walks, lovely food, historical locations, wonderful guide. I loved the local input - visits to the farms, bakery. A visit to a working Truli house would have been a plus ( very touristy visit to Alberobello) and the last walk could have been more varied scenically. Could have stayed much longer in Matera! Altogether it was the best trip I’ve done with Explore. It helped having a lovely group too. Where next?
