I took the "Reverse Puglia" trip June 18 to 25, 2024. It was a great trip and overview of Puglia. We stayed in trulias in Alberobello and a cave room in Matera. Everything about the grip was perfect, the pace, the places we visited, the food and local guides. However the best part of the trip was Gabriele the tour guide. He took care of everyone and was funny, intelligent, gracious and a pure delight. He is what made the trip so special and memorable, a philosopher that showed us Puglia.
Amazing tour. Full credit to Roma on sharing her recommendations and experience with us. An awesome woman who goes out of her way to ensure an enjoyable tour is had by all. So many places to see & new foods to try. Memories for a lifetime
