A Wonderful Time Exploring the Adriatic Coast

I had an incredible time on this boat tour - a real highlight of my trip! The crew was so hospitable, warm, and engaging, which made the experience even more special. I loved the small-group atmosphere; it created an intimate vibe that let you see Monopoli and the neighbouring areas, including Polignano a Mare, from a whole new perspective. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you for such a fantastic experience (and great music along the way!) 😊

Alberobello and Matera Bus Tour, from Bari

Cathy_A, Jun 2026

Alborobello and Matera day trip with guides in both cities

This is a must do experience if you are in the region. I would not do more than two cities in one day . Our guides in both cities were excellent and locals. Definitely pay a little extra for guides versus the online option. You’ll have a better experience. Alborobello and Matera are unique gems, I highly recommend if you enjoy history!

Amy_K, Jun 2026

Alberobello, Monopoli & Polignano da Bari – Puglia experienc

Lori_M, May 2026

Perfect way to get to see three diverse cities without the commitment of staying over night.

This was a great excursion to be able to see three cities with a driver! Nice not having to drive on my own. Nice to have a driver giving you suggestions of what to see and where to eat when at each city. These cities are small and perfect for a couple of hours.

Fun all around! Fantastic- easy going guides, intriguing cave tour

This was a fantastic tour! The boat was small with about 15 people, the guides were so much fun , young energetic and just easy going and very informative. Champagne and snacks were served or juice for kids or as an alternative. We had such a good time with the other people on the boat as well because the guides were so encouraging and full of smiles. The tour toke us to many caves each with their own stories. We also had a chance to take a swim and enjoy the Adriatic sea. I highly recommend this boat company!!

Amazing foods, sights and fun! A MUST DO!

Nicholas was an outstanding guide! Not only did he take us to the most amazing places, but he introduced us to foods typical of Bari. Each and every stop was a delight! Of course, we could not fit another bite into our stomachs ! In addition, we found him to be extremely knowledgeable in history and gave us tremendous lessons in the history of the area.
