What are people saying about Puglia

Kristen_E, Oct 2026

Fun, Informational AND Delicious

This was a terrific way to get to know Bari Vecchia, and we are grateful that Giuseppe was our guide. Giuseppe was warm, funny, and informative as he guided us through the maze of old Bari. This tour serves a perfect tasting of the specialties that Bari is known for, and the portions are full-sized, so come hungry; you’ll leave full. Thank you, Giuseppe!

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

Elizabeth_M, Oct 2026

Great small Boat tour bigger isn't always better!

At first I was disappointed with the size of the boat there was 8 of us aboard, but it worked out fantastic. Our Skipper was able to manoeuvre our boat right into the caves where the bigger boats couldn't go, he was very skilled working with the waves. We enjoyed our drinks and nibbles and listening to the skippers commentary.

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

Deborah_S, Oct 2026

Nice Cooking class in Bari

Was a very informative and hands on cooking class. Learned how to use a manual pasta machine. We made 2 different kinds of pasta and one terimisu. Our tagliatelle pasta was served to us in a red marinara sauce and our other pouch pasta was served with a white sage sauce (was out of this world) then came our terimisu. We were given Prosecco during the class, which was a nice plus. The chef and his assistant were very knowledgeable and experienced. I found this class to be a very nice learning experienceand easy for solos. *Wish they had handouts instead of QR code for the recipes.

Mark_W, Sep 2026

We had great fun learning how to make orecchiette

We had a great deal of fun making the pasta. Although it was a big group it worked really well and the team running it used their knowledge and experience well. We learnt a great deal about how to make pasta and also how not to make pasta! The setting was really lovely, the food was fun to make and good to eat. Highly recommended

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

Allan_N, Sep 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, 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, Monopoli & Polignano da Bari – Puglia experienc

Albert_C, Sep 2026

Best tour, guide and energy in Bari

5 stars does not feel like it's strong enough. Rating for this company period if you are lucky enough to get raphael. As your guy, you will have a day that you will never forget period his energy enthusiasm and love for people shines through in everything. He does period he makes sure that everyone has a good time and feels included every step of the way and gives you all of the information you could ever want about the areas you're exploring period someone in our group had a mobility issue, and raphael took his time to make sure that person was able to get in and out and accommodated in every place that we stopped. He was a true gem. We would suggest this to anyone traveling to Bari. We cannot wait to return to barry next summer to see our friend. Rafael, again and go on another great adventure with him

Boat trip to the Polignano a Mare caves

Paula_D, Jul 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, Jun 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.

Excellent boat trip. We really enjoyed the tour along the beautiful coastline and visiting the caves. The guide was very good and gave us lots of information. Would recommend this tour to anyone wishing to visit the caves. The rose prosecco was a lovely end to the trip!
