Includes

- Join the sophisticates of Puglia at a harbour-side bar in Trani and sip a glass of Moscato di Trani where it’s made, with the Adriatic’s sparkling waters before you.

Puglia was wonderful- Trani, Matera and Lecce were amazing - loved it
11/22/2023
Puglia is amazing and the food fantastic! To get the most out of this trip you need to be proactive about finding out about each place independently. Beware as we didn't get to stay in a trulli and weren't told until the last minute. A lot of the hotels don't have aircon that operates overnight so bear in mind when you book for the time of the year. Definitely make sure you see sunrise and sunset in Alberobello and Matera, it will be the highlight of your trip. It's a great introduction to this area of Italy, you'll definitely want to come back. Try and include a day trip to Monopoli if you can and request as much time in Ostuni as possible.

I strongly encourage travellers to book this tour of southern Italy. The locations were picturesque and the landscape was unforgettable. Our guide was passionate, informative and knowledgeable. The hotels were well situated near attractions and our guides were informative and eager to share the local customs and culture. It was easy to get around walking and with transfers. July was the best time of year, gorgeous weather, not a cloud in the sky and plenty of Aperol spritz to cool you down. A must do for travellers wanting an easy was to experience southern Italy.

Wow what a wonderful insight in to southern Italy, we had at least 2 nights in each place which is made our trip more enjoyable as we had time to explore the towns and historic places. Including lots of free time. Loved Puglia area and hope to do another trip and go further South and Inland. Our leader Luca was exceptional ????

What a fabulous trip! I loved the variety, each of the places we visited had its own unique character, I was pleasantly surprised each day. The food and drink was delicious, particularly the aperitivo in Lecce and wine tasting in Trani. And Serena was the most amazing tour leader!

Absolutely excellent small group touring experience. Experience off the beaten track locales with an expert guide. Get a glimpse of local life and relax knowing the details are handled.
09/28/2022
I found this Southern Italy trip to be underwhelming. I think the itinerary needs to be seriously looked at and reviewed for where to stay and how long for. The best places you spent the least time and other places way too much free time with nothing to do. Think there are better Italy tour itineraries than this one.

This tour of Southern Italy was very enjoyable, especially sampling the food, culture and history of this less visited region. Sarah was a fantastic tour leader - friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. . The balance of group activities and free time allowed everyone to pursue their own individual interests.
09/05/2022
The tour includes many beautiful destinations and travellers enjoy the great food and wine of southern Italy. However, there is too much free time and not enough included activities for the price. The tour and itinerary could do with an update.
11/05/2023
Southern Italy is a refreshing change compared to the more cosmopolitan north. The area reminds the traveler that Italy is definitely on the Mediterranean with Olive trees, vineyards, beaches and gorgeous hill towns with fascinating stories. The food is pretty fabulous as well!
09/30/2023
Southern Italy is amazing and has so many wonderful things. History, architecture, friendly locals, fantastic food, the sea, shopping, and sight-seeing.

Please use my review, if you wish……I think this trip was certainly amazing

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Southern Italy. It was a great way to enjoy the food, culture and history of this beautiful region with a small group and a fantastic tour leader. The guides in each destination really enhanced the experience. There is a good balance of group actvities and free time to explore.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Amalfi coast especially being such a small group which made it more personalized
06/01/2024
I really enjoyed the southern Italy tour to places that are more off the beaten track but ever so interesting. We had a lovely trip with an excellent guide.

Tour made ease of travel so much easier than arranging all by yourself
05/21/2024
Southern Italy was a delight from local wine and cuisine showing off fresh seafood, olives, meat, and of course fresh pasta. The history is so rich with the churches crowded with history, the domed trullis, seaside villages and the ancient city of Matera. Great trip.
