We set up a 4 day tour during our visit to Puglia recently. Months ahead I contacted Tours of Puglia to help us get the most of our visit. Francesca asked us what we wanted to see instead of telling us “this is the Tours we have”. Our main goal was to visit our ancestral home of Alberobello. I also asked her recommendations, which she gladly provided. She set up a full 4 days of touring which included 2 night stays in Alberobello (Trullo houses) and Lecce. We visited all of the main sites of Puglia like Locorotondo, Matera , Ostuni, etc....she included an incredible meal each day, including a meal at a Masseria....our guides, Vincenzo and Flo were beyond incredible....they were like walking historic encyclopedias. Vincenzo was instrumental is us locating the street in Alberobello where our grandmother was born. They, and our drivers, went out of their way to insure we missed nothing. We were just 4, so everything could be personalized. Everything went as planned and we could not have asked for for more....we cannot recommend Tours of Puglia mort highly...

We really enjoyed this tour and I think its the best way to visit the city. The sun in august is very strong and can be heavy to walk around the old city. Francesco, our guide, was friendly and gave us very clear explanations. Its better to send them a whatsapp message (photo attached) to reserve a slot in advance, we were lucky to book last second but we noticed is not always easy to book same day. Strongly recommended tour.

We saw the two churches in a hurry and then our host disappeared. Nobody was there to open the door at the museum, even upon appointment. Rather visit Sassi at your iwn pace and get tickets as you arrive at the location. Not worth to buy the pass.
