All Puglia Tours & Excursions in 2026

My son and I had a wonderful time exploring Bari with Giuseppe! We were a small group, and the tour had a lovely, relaxed pace. We wandered through the charming streets of Bari Vecchia, tasting delicious local specialties like focaccia and panzerotto while learning about the city's history, traditions and everyday life. Giuseppe was a great guide, sharing interesting stories and his personal perspective on Bari, having lived elsewhere before returning to his hometown. You could really tell how well he knows and loves his city! It was a great mix of food, history and local culture, and a fun way to discover places we might otherwise have missed. A really enjoyable experience for both adults and teenagers. Highly recommended!

It was a wonderful experience to discover a local farm, see the wide variety of activities they are involved in, and feel the passion with which they do everything, from dairy farming and milk processing to cheese aging, olive growing, and cultivating fruit and vegetables. Watching the mozzarella and burrata being made was particularly fascinating. Afterwards, we enjoyed a tasting on the lovely terrace, and everything was absolutely delicious. We also had the opportunity to buy some of their excellent-quality local products. The ricotta was especially delicious!

We had the best time making our own pasta and tiramisu. Our host and the chef were absolutely wonderful. We laughed, we ate, we drank wine and met some of the nicest people from Europe. We highly recommend this experience and if you don’t do it, you are missing out!

I’ve wanted to do an authentic cooking class ever since we knew we were going to Bari Vecchia and the thought of making our own focaccia barese and orecchiette (two local delicacies) was too good to pass up! Our guide Elisa introduced herself at the meeting point and took us a short walk to Maria’s kitchen, a charming little room tucked away in the winding streets. Elisa then translated for Marie the whole time - who stood at the head of the table demonstrating exactly what to do with the ingredients - using excellent English, throwing in the occasional joke and gently encouraging everyone in the class to get to know each other. It was such a lovely 2 hours (accompanied by a fantastic playlist!) and getting to taste our own focaccia warm and fresh from the oven was an absolute dream! Making the orecchiette was kinda difficult at first, but once you relaxed and reminded yourself that the nonnas two streets away have had decades of practice, it was really enjoyable (and weirdly therapeutic)! Sadly we didn’t get to eat our own orecchiette - but logically speaking, it would have taken much too long to cook everybody’s - and we still got to enjoy a delicious bowl with tomato and cheese that Maria had made… plus a choice of water, Fanta, red wine or Limoncello. Overall it was a gorgeous experience that fulfilled a lifelong dream of getting to cook in Italy. Even my normally-quite-reserved husband said he loved it and was glad we booked! We’re now obsessed with Focaccia Barese and - thanks to the recipe we received at the end of the class - I’m sure we will be making it many times back home in the UK! Huge thanks to Maria and Elisa for making this such a special experience - one so good, we’re still talking about it several days later. Do yourselves a favour if you’re staying locally and book. I PROMISE you won’t be disappointed!

The excursion was very interesting, Stefano was a very cordial guide, his explanations were very clear and precise, his English was very clear, it allowed us to understand all his explanations!! A highly recommended excursion!! Liliana and Beatriz from Argentina

If I could give this tour more than 5 stars, I would! The tour is fully customizable, and our wonderful guide (Gabry) was very knowledgeable and made recommendations that helped us choose the perfect day for us. We visited Alborabello and Locorotondo, two beautiful towns, and he was able to explain the history and get around like a local. He even arranged a wine tasting/lunch for us. Highly recommend!

Experience is exactly as described. This is a 1.5 hour tour that has an easy to find meeting point. It shows the caves, and that famous restaurant. Before coming back, you can jump off the boat for a quick swim. I highly recommend it. It is just the right length. No shoes worn on boat and collected before boarding. Wear bathing suit.

Brilliant company tour was great very well organised, was on time sold water on the bus would highly recommend. We are 2 woman 60s and definitely helped us see places that otherwise we would not seen as we don't drive and train and public bus was too hard fot us to navigate
