Drive, swim, lunch

Greg_W, Sep 2023

Nico was a great driver - polite, flexible and happy to answer questions about Italy and Puglia. Monopoli and Otranto have got to be seen to be believed. Loved the chance for a swim in both places and lunch. Sad to see so many olive trees destroyed by virus.

Can't recommend

Alison_B, Jul 2023

I cannot recommend this tour simply because the services were not as described. First, the driver spoke absolutely no english, even though the services were listed as being provided in english. Our minimal italian skills helped us figure out what time we needed to be back, but the language barrier prevented the driver from pointing out any interesting sites, etc. Second, we did not stop at the Le Creste farm for lunch, even though thats listed above as part of the "tour" - I don't even think our driver knew that was supposed to be a stop, he just took us straight to Otranto. Giving two stars because the driver was timely and drove well but I honestly can't recommend paying for services that weren't as described.

Unser Reiseleiter, ein sehr sympatischer älterer Herr, zeigte uns die schönsten Plätze des Salento. Wir hatten herrlichstes Reisewetter für wunderschöne Aufnahmen vom türkisblauen Wasser, schönen Bauwerken und den malerischen Steilküsten mit Bademöglichkeit. Dieser Salento ist ein schönes Ausflugsziel.
