Salento Tours and Trips

We had a fabulous time hiking the Puglia Coast! All accommodations were beautiful. The Adriatic was gorgeous and fabulous to swim in during breaks in the hike. The app was easy to use. Looking forward to another trip!

The team were very responsive to my emails and very helpful. The trip was amazing. We had warm weather mid september but not too unbearable. The first day was a long rocky climb but so satisfying at the end. The rest of the days were not too difficult but we found plenty of alternative routes if you needed a shorter hiking day. Not quite as many swimming spots en route and most were a bit of a detour. Mostly lovely swimming at or near our accomodation each day. All the accomodation was wonderful and all different to each other. We especially loved our last night in Marina Serra where we ate homemade food by lovely Adelaide at one big table with other hikers. Would thoroughly recommend this hike. Stay an extra night in Otranto and Lecce, worth the extra time to explore these beautiful towns.

This was our first ‘cultural’ Exodus holiday although we’ve done lots of Exodus cycling holidays. We went not knowing much about the area so it was wonderful to find it so enjoyable. There was a good mix of learning about the region, relaxing, and tours of caves, olive groves and some of the more important towns in the area. Transfers weren’t too long (usually under an hour) and accommodation was excellent for the most part. The nature of the accommodation meant that we all had different style rooms in most locations, which was good fun comparing.

Travelling in a small group with different abilities the trip gave us a great balance between manageable walks, urban experiences and self managed travel. Instructions for the walks were generally clear but some better formatting/design would be helpful. The booked transport was always punctual, well organised with helpful and friendly drivers. The hotels that were selected had a great atmosphere and evocative of the places we were staying. Their location in the heart of the historic towns was perfect making it easy for quick explorative trips. Puglia as a destination didn't disappoint and we would be very happy to return whenever we have the opportunity.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Exodus cycling trip from Matera to Leece in June 2025. As first time visitors to this part of Italy we really appreciated our guide, Manni's knowledge of the area, contemporary and historical. We had a great group of fellow cyclists, eleven of us in total. The accommodation was excellent as were our bikes. This is our second Exodus cycle trip and we would thoroughly recommend the trip.

This trip was a wonderful surprise! I have been to a couple of places in Italy before (Rome, Venice, Florence) but Puglia is so different... in a great way! The coastline, the food, the culture and the history were all wonderful.
