Your tour guide/manager was the best I have ever experienced. Mauro was born for the job. I cannot recommend your tour highly enough to others. I have already told everyone in my family to take the tour. Kudos on a great job!
This trip was perfect for a quick site seeing of Southern Italy. It actually turned out to be one of my favorite trips. The guide was so much fun and very attentive. The transportation and accommodations were very comfortable.
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.
Private Tour around Apulia and Matera beyond our expectations .Very good the Hotel in Matera, Dimora di Metello..but also Tenuta Monacelle near Alberobello. Great local guide and meals. I only think you should had add an extra day in Apulia, 5 days are not enough. Anyway excellent tour and service. Very good value for money
