We had a wonderful day exploring Ostuni and Alberobello with Gabry. From the beginning, Gabry tailored the tour to our interests, creating a truly personalised experience that went far beyond the typical tourist itinerary.
His passion for Puglia and its many regions is infectious, and his knowledge of the area’s history, culture, food, and traditions made every stop more meaningful. One of the highlights was enjoying an authentic seafood lunch at a seaside restaurant frequented mostly by locals—something we would never have discovered on our own.
Gabry also gave us a rare opportunity to visit a friend’s Trullo home that has been preserved in its original state. It was fascinating to see such an authentic piece of Puglian history and provided a unique insight into traditional life in the region.
Gabry’s warm personality, local connections, and genuine love for Puglia made this one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. We highly recommend him to anyone wanting to discover the real Puglia through the eyes of a passionate local guide.

I picked this tour because I wanted to customize our tour in Puglia and have enough time to enjoy and spend time with the chosen towns we wanted to see. This tour was advertised on the Viator website with a duration time of 10-12 hours and that we will be picked up in a hotel/town of our own choice. Overall, our tour and our tour guide Gabry was excellent. I would have given this tour a 5 star but was somewhat disappointed that it felt that the tour was somewhat rushed and limited. I have privately messaged Gabry weeks before the start of tour and asked him what time of the day do we start the tour and also specify what towns we were interested to see and what things we would like to do. His response was that he usually starts at 9:30 AM and ends at 5:30 PM. So technically that is only 8 hours and not 10 or 12 hours as advertised on the Viator website. The itinerary outlined on Viator was also not followed which was understandable given that I requested for (3) specific towns. But even that it felt that we rushed through the towns showing us the picturesque spots in town and took pictures. We were thankful that he was not only our guide but our photographer as well . Gabry was very knowledgeable and professional. He spoke English fluently enough for us to understand what he was talking about. We wished we had communicated better with him that other than the 3 towns that we were interested in that we were open to seeing a other places in the vicinity like a Masseria or the coastal town of Polignano a Mare. For travelers looking to book this tour make sure that you know that what was advertised (description of itinerary and duration) of this tour on the website is not the actual one you will be getting. I advised that you clarify the terms before you book this tour.

Excellent trip with Gabriel. We were able to customize to the locations we wanted to visit. Matera and Monopoli were stunning and Gabriel provided very good info. He was also kind enough to pick us up in Polignano and dropped us at our final destination in Trulli area.
Robert_W, May 2026
Gabriel (Gabry) was and excellent tour guide a driver. He customized the trip to include everything we wanted to see. He is a native Apulian and has extensive knowledge of the entire area and its history. So much better than big tours because we got to spend how much time we wanted in each place.
Laura_G, Apr 2026
Gabry was a very kind and knowledgeable guide, flexible to what we wanted. He knows the sites very well to make the best use of time. He has great love for the natural and cultural richness of the area. The ride was comfortable and he was a good driver. He stopped at good viewpoints so we could take photos. Although his English isn't perfect, he was able to communicate fairly well.
Robin_F, Apr 2026
Gabry was very knowledgeable and we were able to see 3 different places within one day despite the Easter holiday. I saw so much I might not of if I went alone thanks to Gabry.
Anne_K, Mar 2026
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!
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.
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.
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!
Donna_W, Oct 2025
We had a beautiful journey to an olive oil farm and to a seafood restaurant and to polignano a Mere it was a perfect day.
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.
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

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%
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
Monique_H, May 2025
Gabry was a wonderful guide. Completely flexible tour with recommendations. We had a fabulous 2 days.
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.
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!!
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!
Olga_D, Oct 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!!!!!
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!
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!!
Gaurav_N, Aug 2024
