What are people saying about Puglia

Antonietta_B, Oct 2026

Comfortable and stress-free travel to and between towns!

Comfortable travel to and between the towns visited. Our guide was punctual and offered us links to places to visit with google maps to guide us. I really appreciated the way he made the visit stress-free by sending us a reminder of time and place to meet at each town we visited.

Bari: Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class with Wine by Cooking Italy

Maria_H, Oct 2026

Cooking in Bari , Italy

An Unforgettable Italian Cooking Experience in Bari, Italy! Making two different kinds of pasta and our own tiramisu in a beautiful restaurant in Bari, Italy, was an absolutely unforgettable experience! Each of us had the joy of preparing our own pasta from scratch and creating our very own tiramisu. Then, the wonderful chefs cooked our creations for us, and we gathered around the table to enjoy the delicious dishes we had made ourselves, accompanied by two excellent wines. And the grand finale? Our heavenly homemade tiramisu paired with delicious homemade limoncello! It was so much more than a cooking class—it was a celebration of Italian food, culture, friendship, and the joy of sharing a wonderful meal together in the heart of beautiful Puglia. If you are visiting Bari, Italy, you absolutely MUST take this class! It is an experience you will treasure long after your trip ends. Highly recommended!

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

Sarah_S, Oct 2026

Excellent Food Tour!

What a fun tour! Emmanuella was the perfect guide! She knew all about the history of Bari as well as the different foods we tried. She also had lots of personal stories to share about growing up in Bari. When you book this trip, definitely request Emmanuella. One caveat, we would have liked to have an orecchiette dish since we saw the Nona’s making it. Could easily replace the panzerotti, which was not particularly remarkable. Overall great experience.

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.

The staff were very helpful, the guide, Sabrina was very knowledgeable, and passed on information very well, in 3 languages. The coach was comfortable. The three cities we visited were lovely, and Sabrina did her best to make sure we didn't get lost. The brochure was brilliant, with the maps and details of the important sites to see. In general, it could not have been better.

Great Visiting the Salento Coast with Francesco Our Terrific Driver

This was a small group tour where we visited towns on the Salento Coast. Francesco was our driver and was just GREAT! He dropped us in each location and let us de ide what to do -- he was only our driver, but was excellent and gave us tips in each area. This tour did not provide a guide, but we got excellent service and we visited beautiful and interesting places. Would definitely recommend and thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Tour : Alberobello, Ostuni, Locorotondo : Local Guide & Lunch

Allan_N, Sept 2026

The Three Town Tour

This 3-town tour is amazing. It does involve a great deal of walking, especially as a coach, such as we had, can only park away from the sites of interest. The town of Alberobello is of particular interest with its fascinating conical Trulli buildings. The local guide who was engaged for visiting the Trulli was extremely good, very clear and gave good information and not too much. The pace of that part was just right for all ages and abilities. He explained what we were going to experience. The coach courier was not so explicit and it would have helped for us to be pre-advised (preferably on the journey to the towns) as to what we should expect to see and experience when we arrived at Locorotondo and Ostuni. In each case we were led uphill in hot sunshine for an unknown (at the outset) distance, and then were given a quick summary of what we could or might see in and around the town, and when we should meet. At Ostuni there was a fleet of TukTuks roaming the town. For a few members of the coach party, an option maybe could be made available to use these. This would have been a great relief on such a hot day at what was the final place on the trip to explore

Boat tour of the Polignano a Mare caves with aperitif

Stefanie_Z, Sept 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.

Boat trip to the Polignano a Mare caves

Paula_D, July 2026

A must do experience in Polignano a Mare!

Fun boat tour along the coast. Amazing views. A stop for a swim and a nice glass of fizz was a bonus! Only around 10 passengers so fairly "private". We did it at 4pm on 22nd June, so just about missed the worst heat of the day. One thing to note. The pier where the boats leave from is a good 25 minute walk from the train station, and no footpath for some of it. At our request, the organisers booked us a taxi for our return to Polignano town afterwards, which was a much better option.

Bari Walking City Tour

Vera_M, June 2026

This was a comprehensive...

This was a comprehensive walking tour of Bari. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very passionate about sharing information about Bari. She was able to communicate fluently in English. We were able to see all the sights and learn about them . The food tasting ( focaccia Barese) was an amazing treat during the tour. The only thing she could probably adjust was to walk a little bit slower because not everyone can walk the same speed as her especially on the busiest streets. We also had a hard time finding the meeting spot. The address mentioned on the meeting point was confusing. We almost missed the tour in spite of being in the vicinity 30 minutes before the start of the tour.
