Many things are not noticed in other experiences that are noticed in this . When we talk about the agro Ruvo di Puglia we talk about areas that have been for centuries the scene of a flourishing herding both sedentary and transhumant. These activities have left a considerable legacy of gravel roads called cart tracks , interponderal roads, tram tracks and paths which, taken together, create a significant level of interconnection practically extending to the entire park arra and beyond. We are talking about More than 700 hectares. Think of going through all this on horseback as rewriting and well reliving the history of a time when you lived with little and were content with miserable things but rich in values that are now lost. This makes Little ranch a safe place a place that was and is, a place where it has not yet been twisted by the hand of modern man where the air has another smell and where the sky is always bluer

What are people saying about Puglia

Susan_F, Nov 2026

Worthwhile Puglia Tour

Such a unique town. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around seeing the Trulli houses and the surrounding areas. Great day and would highly recommend to other travelers! Our driver, Francesco was wonderful. He was friendly and humorous, as well as knowledgeable.

Salento Tour from Lecce Otranto Castro Leuca and Gallipoli

Barbara_F, Nov 2026

Excellent stops, plus photo stops on your own!

Francesco was an excellent driver! Speaks no English but used Google Translate and a JBL speaker to tell us where to find important landmarks and navigate our way around. We stopped at the 4 main area with plenty of time to sightsee but also stopped in a few towns along the way for some beautiful photo stops. Loved that he told us where to go and that you can go at your own pace! Ate at the Underground for a late lunch by the seaside in Castro(his recommendation)-superb! Highly recommend this tour for those who like to wander & see on their own!!!

Bari Walking City Tour

Immersion in history

Taking the 2-hour walking tour in Bari Vecchia guided by Cecilia was a beautiful experience. Cecilia, besides being very prepared and excellent, with her describing and storytelling truly made us immerse ourselves in so much history of this splendid city.

Bari’s Ultimate Street Food Tour - Small Group by Do Eat Better

Maris_A, Nov 2026

Delicious food, local stories and a great guide!

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!

Mozzarella Experience - Cheese Tasting Tour at Masseria Fragnite

Helga_K, Oct 2026

A must-have experience for cheese lovers!

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!

Day Trip to Alberobello Monopoli and Polignano a Mare from Bari

Loren_T, Oct 2026

Excellent way to see 3 incredible cities!!

Superb tour. The bus and bus driver were great, the tour host was excellent and spoke fluently in three languages. The amount of time was actually quite sufficient in each city to be able to see everything , walk some extra, and grab a bite or have a drink. Bring some walking shoes.

Bari Cooking Class : Traditional Focaccia & Orecchiette

Katie_M, Oct 2026

Charming experience in the heart of Bari Vecchia

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!

Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour of the Caves - Small Group

Rhiannon_D, Oct 2026

Perfect afternoon on the water

I ordered the pick up option from Polignano a Mare as the actual boat harbour is in San Vito which would otherwise be 50 minutes on foot from Polignano. The driver was waiting early in the waiting spot as intended, and we had a great chat, super friendly guy local to the area. The boat was comfortable but recommend sitting at the front (as I did) to avoid being splashed at the back of the back, front also best spot for photos. We had time for a quick swim at the end and they gave us generous prosecco. Beautiful tour and felt very comfortable as a solo traveller.

Boat tour of the Polignano a Mare caves with aperitif

Stefanie_Z, Sep 2026

Must do!

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.

Alberobello & Matera : Full-Day Private Tour from Bari

Fabio_D, Dec 2025

Great experience

Very professional company, everything was perfectly organized. The driver and guide were both super friendly, knowledgeable and made the day really enjoyable. Matera is a unique town, that must be visited once in a lifetime. They also offered to change the drop-off point at the end of the tour as we preferred to stay closer to Bari city center see the christmas lights. You can trust them completely - and you won't regret it!
