What people love about touring Puglia solo
- Taste of Salento-Authentic Culinary Experience
My first experience with tourradar and soleto tours - the tour was amazing! I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore Puglia. Emilio and Clara treated us like family, from the meals to accommodations to travel excursions. We got an insider's view of the area and as a result go to explore and learn a lot about Puglia that many residents are not even aware of! Emilio is a great chef and as such we enjoyed delicious meals every day and also enjoy a great cooking class with him! I look forward to returning to explore more of the area - as one week was too short! I think we all left wishing we had a least a couple more days to explore and enjoy their gracious hospitality. I highly recommend this trip!!
- Apulia & Basilicata: A Slow Taste of the South
My Art Collection orchestrated a Roman symphony of art and culture! From Calabria, Basilicata and Apulia, their tours were meticulously crafted, informative, and truly enriching. Exceptional service!
- Discover Matera and Taste of Salento Tour
Great Tour ! We were able to visit a new area of the Apulia region each day with the assistance of Emilio, a superb guide and chef. The lovely olive farm then treated us to his culinary delights each evening. Cosimo was the most knowledgable guide,friendly and extremely helpful. Matera is also a wonderful and fascinating place! It was also very easy to get in touch with Omar. Always available even at late evening. What an amazing journey. I would strongly advise using this business.
What our customers ask about Puglia Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Puglia on a guided tour?
For solo travelers, plan your visit during spring (April-May) or fall (September-October). The weather is mild and you'll encounter fewer tourists at key sites like Alberobello's trulli houses and Lecce's historic center. Tour data shows September and October attract the most solo travelers. A recent traveler shared: "Traveling in May meant perfect weather for our group activities and comfortable temperatures for socializing in outdoor cafes."
Is it safe to explore Puglia's towns and cities alone during free time?
Puglia ranks among Italy's safer regions especially in tourist areas like Alberobello Lecce and Matera. Most accommodations such as The Nicolaus in Bari or Hotel Belvedere in Matera are situated near main attractions making independent exploration convenient. A recent visitor noted: "I felt completely safe wandering the historic centers in the evenings with plenty of other tourists and locals out enjoying the passeggiata."
What meals are typically included in Puglia guided tours and how are they arranged for solo travelers?
Tours generally cover daily breakfast and several group dinners at local establishments and hotels such as Hotel Vittoria in Gargano. These shared meals featuring local dishes and wines create easy opportunities to connect with fellow travelers. A recent guest noted: "The group dinners on our Puglia Panorama tour were highlights - sharing local specialties and wine while getting to know my fellow travelers made solo travel so enjoyable."
What type of accommodations can solo travelers expect on Puglia guided tours?
Accommodations typically include 4-star properties like Hotel Lo Smeraldo in Itria Valley or Hotel Excelsior in Bari. Rooms come as single or shared options with common areas designed for group interaction. A recent guest mentioned: "The Palazzo Rollo in Lecce had a wonderful communal terrace where solo travelers could easily meet and mingle with others from the tour group during evening aperitivos."
What types of cultural activities are included that help solo travelers connect with both locals and other travelers?
The tours blend hands-on experiences like pasta-making in Lecce olive oil sampling in Ostuni and guided walks through Matera's ancient cave dwellings. These shared activities naturally spark conversation among participants. As one traveler put it: "The cooking class in Lecce was perfect for breaking the ice with other travelers - we all laughed together while learning to make orecchiette pasta."
