Top Bari Day Trips - page 6

My wife and I had a great day trip from Bari to Matera and Alberobello. Our tour leader Francesca was energetic and friendly with all group members displaying sense of humor and good communication skills in Spanish, English and Italian. Umberto drove safely through the day and was amicable as well. Times were managed highly efficient. Congratulations Pugliamare!

We had a wonderful day exploring Ostuni and Alberobello with Gabry. From the beginning, Gabry tailored the tour to our interests, creating a truly personalised experience that went far beyond the typical tourist itinerary. His passion for Puglia and its many regions is infectious, and his knowledge of the area’s history, culture, food, and traditions made every stop more meaningful. One of the highlights was enjoying an authentic seafood lunch at a seaside restaurant frequented mostly by locals—something we would never have discovered on our own. Gabry also gave us a rare opportunity to visit a friend’s Trullo home that has been preserved in its original state. It was fascinating to see such an authentic piece of Puglian history and provided a unique insight into traditional life in the region. Gabry’s warm personality, local connections, and genuine love for Puglia made this one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting to discover the real Puglia through the eyes of a passionate local guide.

I am always interested in doing a bike tour wherever I go and Bari was no exception. It is a great way to see a larger portion of a city and even some hidden gems. Giancarlo made it fun, he was insightful and very personable. We loved seeing the local market, the residential area where real Barese live and getting to nibble on traditional food of the area. I highly recommend this tour especially for your first day in Bari - get the lay of the land and then venture out on your own. Grazie mille Giancarlo for a fun day!

Marco was the perfect guide. His knowledge of the paths to the towns and of the towns was excellent. The pick up location was easy to find. Marco would give us an in-depth description of each town before we reached it and then we were left to explore. Always providing clear information on where we were to meet. The time allowed in each town was perfect. The itinerary was excellent and varied. It gave me a wonderful insight into Puglia.

The coastline of Polignano a Mare is full of caves. It is magnificent. This cruise left from the harbour a few kms out of town and traveled along the coast going right in to lots of the caves. The captain was a very skilled driver who navigated the boat in to tight spaces. We loved the outing. We were unfortunate that the weather was cloudy and a bit cold on the day of our trip so we did not swim. But on a beautiful sunny day, the swim stop would have been incredible. I think this is a must do activity whilst in Polignano a Mare. The caves are not claustrophobic if you are worried (as I was)

If you want to understand Bari more deeply than Spritzes, Foccacia and Orrecchiette this is the tour to take. My guide was able to help me understand the beauty of Bari, some history, the legends and the facts. He was so knowledgeable and he responded to my specific questions and curiosities. I thoroughly enjoyed this and it enriched my experience of this city. Thank you.

Amazing boat tour through the caves of Polignano a Mare! Beautiful views, crystal clear water, and an unforgettable experience. Special thanks to Christian for the excellent service, professional, and attentive throughout the tour. Highly recommended!

Booking this tour was the best decision we made. My husband, daughter, and I had a fantastic day in Matera and Alberobello. The driver and guide, Andreas and Piero, were both friendly and welcoming. He shared so much history and knowledge with us that we would never have known without his tour. He was generous with his time and gave us tips on the places we visited. The van ride was comfortable, air-conditioned, and on time at every stop. It was an excellent tour and well worth the time and money.
