Giorgio did more than show my family around Puglia, he was our tour guide through our own history and roots! He worked with us for weeks before our visit to build an itinerary in which we toured Bari, Alberobello, Polignano a Mare, Lecce, Matera, and many other towns throughout the region. We learned to make authentic Pugliese orecchiette, drank local wine, ate raw fish fresh from the sea, and shipped back a lifetime supply of Pugliese olive oil (the finest in the world). But the crown jewel of our time in Puglia was a visit to our ancestral hometown of Grumo Appula. Giorgio made sure that that our first visit to my grandparents’ hometown was fulfilling, walk down a street named for one of my ancestors, and even helped us connect with our relatives there (who we had never met before). By the end of two separate visits to Puglia, I feel connected to this beautiful region in a way I never thought possible, and I regularly stay in touch with I said of my family I never knew existed. To say that my life has changed would be an understatement. Throughout both of our trips to Puglia, Giorgio has gone above and beyond to customize our tours and make them memorable. Whether you are of Pugliese descent trying to discover your roots, or are looking to explore an area of Italy that’s off the beaten path, you owe it to yourself to utilize the services of Giorgio and his team at Apulia Tours!

Michela was a very kind guide, very helpful and lovely with the children! We had the chance to experience a very private tour in the most typical part of Alberobello, and also made a quick stopover in the CItta Vecchia of Bari, to see the "Mammas" prepare the delicious Orecchiette and tasted to most delicious Gelati of Bari. Thank you so much for this unforgettable tour!

We have just completed our 8-day tour of Puglia with GoinItaly, guided by wonderful Gaetano Barrone. We were given the very best of service by a capable, knowledgeable and attentive tour leader. Gaetano goes out of his way to meet the needs of guests and takes genuine delight in sharing the country he knows so well. Highlights of the tour include great accommodation including a stay in a traditional Trollope in Alberobello. The tour included amazing food and wine experiences as well as visits to many wonderful churches, castles and beautiful Southern Italian towns. Highly recommend this company if you are planning to visit southern Italy.

The POLIGNANO kayak trip is a fascinating tour, not physically demanding and therefore also suitable for those who have never gone kayaking. On the way we will show you hidden caves and ravines, all to be explored! After putting on the life jackets and entering our kayaks, we will be ready to sail southwards alongside the splendid and very high coast of Polignano. We will pass by the famous beach of Lama Monachile, we will visit the most beautiful caves and ravines of the route and finally we will arrive in Porto Alga for a short stop before returning. This trip gives great emotions and allows you to navigate the blue waters of the coast of Polignano looking at the very high rocky coast that separates the city from the sea. We will take advantage of the unique perspective from the sea and the proximity to the coast that only a kayak can offer to visit one of the most beautiful stretches of sea in the Adriatic Salento! N.B. The route may change according to weather and sea conditions

Inclusions: Introductory lesson, Paddle and life jacket, Photo Shoot: photos will be sent via Whatsapp, kayak single or double (it is not possible to choose them in advance, they will be assigned by the guide)

Exclusions: Bottled water, Snacks
