Gabry is very accommodating, kind, and patient. He tools his time telling us the history of Puglia and driving us around. He was incredibly kind to our small children and even protected them from the rain with his umbrella. We highly recommend services!

    Incredible guide!!!

    Chris_W, Mar 2026
    I had an amazing experience he took me everywhere. I wanted to go. The car is comfortable and he made the trip so worthwhile worth every penny.

    An interesting and fun day

    James_P, Dec 2025
    Gabry… our guide…. contacted us immediately after booking and worked with us to customize our tour to fit our needs. He was on time to pick us up…and the vehicle… a large van….was immaculate. We visited several beautiful Masseria with ancient olive trees, Ostuni, and Torre Canne for an out of this world lunch at Al Buco… we then toured the coastline and finished up in Monopoli and the olive oil factory. Gabry definitely knows his way around to all the good spots in Puglia. He is extremely knowledgeable about the region as well as a great ambassador for Puglia. I would definitely recommend Gabry to take you around.

    Truly a magical day in Puglia!

    Julie_Y, Oct 2025
    This private tour was all that we expected and more. Gabry did a great job taking us around to see all the places I wanted to see. I always get a smile on my face when I think of all the charming places we saw in beautiful Puglia. Yes, you pay more for a private tour, but it's worth it. Gabry led us through small alleys to all the great photo stops which I knew we wouldn't have found on our own. He also took us to a great restaurant for lunch - yum!

    Beautiful Puglia

    Donna_W, Oct 2025
    The most amazing day with a very knowledgeable and wonderful tour guide Gabriel. We saw so much, Gabriel was kind, thoughtful and informative. I would give 10 stars if I could.

    A Perfect Day in Puglia's White Cities

    Jeffrey_G, Oct 2025
    We spent a delightful day with our charming guide Gabry, the best guide in Southern Italy! Gabry's in-depth knowledge of this region, coupled with his pride in being a citizen of this beautiful part of Italy, made him the perfect tour guide! He selected 3 of the most outstanding towns to visit, Alberobello, know for over 1000 Trulli stone houses, Locorotondo, a white city high on a hill, and Polignano a Mare, one of the most breathtaking coastal towns in all of Italy. We even had time to ride along the Bari waterfront, a stately Italian city. Had we had more than one day, there were so many other places of interest in the region that Gabry would have shared with us. Terry and Jeffrey Greenstein

    Can’t go wrong with GabryApuliaGuide&Driver.

    Suzanne_R, Sep 2025
    Gabry was so much fun to spend the day with. He took us to fabulous hidden gems, smaller beautiful towns. He was on time, knowledgeable and very nice. We recommend him 100%

    Highly recommend

    Carolyn_M, Sep 2025
    Had a great day out with Gabry. Exceptional tour fitting in our requests. Comfortable car. Great communication and information about Puglia. Highly recommend.

    We had such a great time...

    Jennifer_E, Sep 2025
    We had such a great time seeing the stunning Pulgia region. Grabry is very personable and fun to be with. I highly recommend.

    Explore Puglia with Gabry!

    Sandra_M, Sep 2025
    Gabry our guide is open to arranging the trip around the wishes of his clients and he also has good suggestions for the itinerary. He is very proud of his Puglian heritage and explains the culture and the history of the area. When he was talking to us about olive trees we asked to see some old ones. He brought us to a place where the olive trees were up to 2,000 years old and were still producing olives. In my opinion a private guide provides a much richer experience. We've had both types (group and private) on this trip and the private ones were much better. I probably will try to plan private guides from now on.

    A Perfect day in Puglia

    Ilona_P, Aug 2025
    Our tour with Gabry was the highlight of our time in Puglia. My mom and I visited Alberobello, Polignano di Mare, and Locorotondo, and each stop was more beautiful than the last. Everything was perfectly paced, informative, and thoughtfully arranged. One of the biggest surprises was also the incredible lunch spot he chose, a hidden gem with a breathtaking view and incredibly delicious food. It was by far one of the best places during our trip. If you want more than just sightseeing, but a day that feels curated to your needs, with heart and care, this is the tour to book. Absolutely 6 stars!

    Beautiful Puglia with Gabry

    Linda_B, Jul 2025
    Gabry was an excellent host and guide during our tour of the Puglia region. He brought us to several cities and showed us the hidden gems contained within each. We were given history of the region beyond the typical highlights. His love and passion for the region showed, and he made sure we all had a very memorable time. One of our favorites was Locorotondo. Beautiful town, amazing food, and wonderful people. Highly recommend booking with Gabry!

    Must do your.

    Sharron_A, Jul 2025
    Gabry was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about the Puglia region. He took me to places that without having a car would not have been possible. As a solo female traveller he made me feel very comfortable.

    Great way to see Puglia

    Monique_H, May 2025
    Gabry was a wonderful guide. Completely flexible tour with recommendations. We had a fabulous 2 days.

    An Amazing Day with Gabry!!

    Lisa_E, Mar 2025
    Even with Cloudy skies and sprinkles, we made the most of our day with Gabry. We asked him to show us the hidden gems and he certainly delivered! He reached out to us before hand to see if we had any questions which was so helpful. He was patient and kind and full of wonderful information about the region. It was just a wonderful day... we didn't want it to end.

    Exceptional!!

    Robert_P, Nov 2024
    This was our first time in the Puglia region and we couldn't have found a better way to be be introduced to this area of Italy. Our guide, Gabrielle, was everything you want a guide to be: punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable, with a good sense of humor. He tailored our day based on the areas we wanted to focus on and offered suggestions on what he thought we would find interesting. An overall great experience!!

    A day in Puglia

    Sabrina_Z, Oct 2024
    Great day with Gabry. He picked us up at our hotel in Bari and took us to Ostuni, Locorotondo and Polignano a Mare. He even took us to a great coastal Lu ch spot for fantastic seafood. Gabry is not just a driver but a great guide. Don’t hesitate to book!

    Gabriel is a wonderful...

    Olga_D, Oct 2024
    Gabriel is a wonderful tour guide and like the title suggests he is like a friend. Very friendly and informative.

    Terrific experienced and patient guide

    Darcie_B, Oct 2024

    Volare’ a Puglia!

    Linda_B, Sep 2024
    Beyond excellent! Beyond 5 stars! Our new friend Gabry was the “end all be all” tour guide! He knows his Puglia! His blood is the color Puglia! He’s well informed and passionate about his region and we were immersed in his world if only for a full day of sight seeing. Amazing! It was a private tour with my husband and me and of course Gabry. He showed us and explained the history of three towns:customized to our liking: Alberobello and the iconic Trulli homes; Locorotondo (round village) overlooking the valley. We ate lunch there; and last but not least, Polignano a Mare, which was literally on a cliff where you can see the beautiful sea. There’s definitely more but too much to describe. For an added bonus we stopped at two special places: an olive grove where there were olive trees that were 1000 + years old and all meticulously tagged for identification and separation and off the side of a road, we stopped at a non descript area where we had to climbed onto hidden steps over looking the town of Monopoli As you climbed higher there was a crucifix and a statue of the Virgin Mary. It was stunning to see! He had so many suggestions and we chose what we thought we’d like. Gabry is/was an amazing guide and we had the best time of our lives! There is sooo much to see in Puglia and we can’t wait to come back and see some more beautiful places with Gabry!!!!!

    Personalize and wonderful day with Gabry!

    Lara_D, Sep 2024
    We had a wonderful day! Gabry took the time to work with us to plan out exactly what we wanted rather than having a set itinerary. Because we had already seen some of the main attractions in Puglia the previous day and because of rain, he adapted so that we had a full day with both popular sites and hidden gems. Gabry was fun and available for the whole day. My recommendation would be to book and then communicate with him to decide how to personalize your experience!

    The best day

    Meghan_V, Sep 2024
    Gabriel provided us one of the best days in Italy we’ve ever had. He was kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He customized the day to allow us to visit not only the touristic areas, but also the towns my family originates from. This was a spectacular and truly meaningful day that we will always treasure. Thank you Gabriel!!

    Super day out with family in Puglia

    Gaurav_N, Aug 2024
    Fantastic day with Gabriel! With wonderful recommendation for food .. and indulged our every wish. Loads of flexibility too. We would highly recommend this tour.

    Great experience

    Danny_C, Aug 2024
    Great service. Gabriele has been a great guide to show us the beautiful sceneries of Apulian. He came early to pick us up from the hotel and dropped us back to the hotel. He drives safely and we felt comfortable. Will definitely refer him to our friends.

    Perfect Day Trip

    Caylene_C, Jul 2024
    We had an amazing tour of Puglia with Gabriel. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to truly discover this beautiful part of Italy. There were so many things that we learned, that we didn't know and now we appreciate these gems even more. Gabriel is so knowledgeable and he makes you feel comfortable during the tour. He's extremely flexible and works with what you want to discover. He gives you options but at no time does he impose himself on what he feels is better. He is open with you. And what is important to him is You, that you are happy. And he views every tour like he is taking his friends on a journey of discovery! If you are not happy, he's not happy. That is so important. I have done many tours, this by far the best I have ever experienced. Worth every euro you spend on this. Thank you Gabriel, for the tour, and the passion and love you have for your beautiful country. We felt your passion and we learned so much. We definitely will return. Until we meet again, my friend. Ciao!

    Best Tour of the Puglia Region! MUST DO!

    danielle_s, Jul 2024
    If you want a tour that lets you customize the spots you would like to visit around the puglia region and customize to your own hobbies and passions, this tour is it for you! The BEST tour you can ever take in puglia. I love film and photography and Gabriel made sure to take me to the most picturesque spots in the 3 spots I chose. He gave me historical information as well about the towns. We even stopped to a wine tasting spot and an olive oil production spot where I bought some olive oil to take home! Amazing conversations as well. It truly felt like I was exploring puglia with a friend. I had so so much fun. Planning on visiting puglia again In May next year and will be booking a tour with Gabriel again. You won’t regret this tour, and you will remember it forever!

    The best tour of Puglia!

    Emily_W, Jul 2024
    A fantastic tour, with a fantastic tour guide! We had limited time in Puglia and Gabriele made sure we saw the best of the region - the best views, the best food, the most charming towns. He is a friendly and knowledgeable guide, passionate about the region and skilled at locating the perfect photo opportunities. We loved this tour and highly recommend it!

    Amazing Alberobello

    Lina_V, Jul 2024
    Going to Alberobello and seeing the Trulli houses, it was amazing. Our driver Gabriele was fantastic. He made the experience even more pleasurable and his knowledge and information was great. Definitely recommend it.
