Altamura Tours and Trips

I loved every minute of the tour and appreciated that out tour leader made dinner reservations and often pre ordered starters... The only thing I would improve is the description of the biking level required. I feel I am a fairly fit person, but the tour on a normal bike is in parts really tough. I would have chosen an E bike if I had known But everything else was great - the itinerary well thought through, wonderful food, a great tour guide and a fun group.

Our tour leader Massimo made a great trip a stellar trip. Everything was handled with professionalism and humor. We had a very diverse group of people and he managed everyone and everything so well. Itinerary was great, hotels were unique and full of character. One thing to note, even though this trip was rated as leisurely one still needed a solid level of fitness to complete it. Very happy with my experience with Explore!

1st trip with explore and was extremely impressed. Everything was well organised and to a high standard. Massimo our tour guide was exemplary. His attention to detail and local knowledge made the whole experience a joy. Thankyou Massimo

The guide was amazing at organizing a group and the many unexpected needs of 14 demanding adults! It was a well thought out itinerary with some fabulous local food or culture side trips. The guide seemed to know everyone wherever we went, so we all felt well taken care of. We are already looking at our next Explore trip after this highly enjoyable first experience.. I am an experienced cyclist and my wife took an e-bike to even it all out. If you are not comfortable with a 30 mile ride with some steep hills, I would strongly recommended (Explore should insist) on you getting an e-bike. It’s still as much of a workout as you w at it to be but the motor is a “get out of jail” card.

Cycle Puglia was an amazing trip! Massimo was an exceptional guide, taking us on gorgeous rides in the countryside and to excellent restaurants with divine food. We especially enjoyed the Sassi in Matera. Some of the hills were steeper than anticipated – a bit challenging for us unfit sexagenarians on regular bikes, but that made dinner all the tastier!

Fantastic trip! Fabio was a great leader. He took us to restaurants outside of the tourist areas and seemed to know everyone! The pasta making, held in a local restaurant was done really well and I will definitely have a go at home. There was a lot to do and see on this holiday, and Fabio adapted it where necessary. There were 9 in the group and we all got on so well that we are intending to do another food related trip next year together.
