    This has genuinely been the most wonderful experience of our trip. Giovanni was our tour guide and gave such an authentic tour of these beautiful places in Italy. I loved the itinerary and everything we did and tried was so good. Learning from a local was amazing, meeting new people and learning about the culture and history of this part of Italy was a lifetime memory. Giovanni looked after every single person on our tour and was so intentional and caring. He went above and beyond to ensure we were safe and had fun. Absolutely recommend this!!

    Asked on September 19th, 2024

    Could you please inform me as to what hotels we will be staying at during the length of the tour. Are there any other dinners included besides the welcome dinner? What type of vehicle is used for transportation? When in Alberobello will we be visiting the Castellana caves and Grotto Bianca? Would we be able to do dinner at Grotto Palazzese?

      We collaborate with several top-rated hotels and B&Bs. Two weeks before your tour departure, you will receive all relevant travel information, including hotel names. During this tour, the Welcome Dinner and daily breakfasts at the hotel are included. Other meals are not part of the package. We use a private minivan for larger groups and a car for smaller groups. The driving times vary depending on the locations. Unfortunately, the Castellana Caves are not included in the itinerary. Dinner at Grotto Palazzese is not possible during the tour, but you can make separate arrangements. Reservations for Grotto Palazzese should be made well in advance, and the tasting menu starts at around €200 per person.

      TravelerWritten September 2024

      It seems that we are having trouble finding a flight from Athens to Bari for May 11. The flights seem to arrive too late for us to participate in the orientation and welcome dinner. Could it be possible to start the tour on May 12 for our group of 4 people?

    • Italy on a Budget ToursOperatorWritten October 2024

      We could arrange a private tour of Puglia and Matera specifically for your group of four. This would allow us to make some customizations to your itinerary. It would be possible for your group to join one day later if you like, though this would mean missing out on the first day of the tour.

      The tour to Puglia and Matera is designed for students and backpackers looking at sharing the same experience with other like minded travellers. I am afraid you won't fit in this tour package. Feel free at looking at other suitable products which reflect more your tour style.
