What people love about Puglia Tours from Bari
- Apulia & Basilicata: A Slow Taste of the South
They exceed expectations with curated journeys and seamless service. Exceptional experiences, every trip is a masterpiece.
- Matera & Apulia Private 5 Day Tour
Great tour guide, loved one hotel but other not so much. Fantastic communication with TourRadar.
- Highlights of Puglia
I thought it was very varied and interesting, from castles to making mozzarella, and churches to bakeries. I very much enjoyed the coastal walk to the bauxite quarry which some previous reviewers had criticised. The restaurants organised for the group meals were also v good and varied, which was great at the current time of the virus.
