Bari Tours and Trips

Excellent trip with choices and free time to rest or swim. Suggestion to Itinerary On day 2 after Altamura and bread tasting try and include the trip to Gravina with the minibus -- NOT an optional train journey back there on day 3. We did this by not having lunch day 2 as we were full with bread!! and leaving a little earlier from Altamura and then continuing to Castel de Monte .AJ the guide was very helpful re this. Then day 3 afternoon we had more time to explore Matera which we needed to be fair.

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 was a really enjoyable trip with an excellent leader. Highlights for me were Matera and Lecce together with the walk in Otranto and all the food tasting. AJ was an excellent leader and I really enjoyed Fabrizio's guided tours of Matera and Castel del Monte. I am glad that I added two extra nights on the end. I managed to do a day trip to Polignano a Mare and also Monopolo. The accommodation in Matera and the Trullis of Alberobello was also a highlight for me.

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.

The trip around Puglia was great. Beautiful towns full of historic places to explore, lovely food, and a real sense of regional identity. My favourite places were Matera and Lecce. Tour pace was not too hectic and allowing plenty of free time to do your own thing. Our tour leader was excellent - friendly, organised & knowledgeable. I strongly recommend adding a day or two before or after the trip to see a bit more of the area.

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.
