Top Bari Car Tours

Visit two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in one day—and see some of southern Italy's greatest treasures—on this tour of Puglia and Basilicata.

You’ll be so enchanted by the charm of Alberobello that you might start wondering if the town is secretly a giant set for a fairy tale—or if you’ve accidentally slipped into a land where even the houses know how to rock a good cone-shaped hat!
