Tur: Alberobello, Ostuni, Locorotondo: Lokal guide og frokost

The pluses: departure time was later than scheduled but not by much and the return was on time. The large bus was comfortable and air conditioned. All towns were visited. The tour leader in Alberobello was informative and did her best to accommodate a large group. The negatives: a large group (many from a cruise ship docked in Brindisi) meant having to wait for your turn in blistering heat to see sites in Alberobello. Because the company provided a large bus instead of vans to accommodate the size of the group, the bus needed to park far away from the areas visited and so there was a lot of time (and struggle in the heat) getting to and from the sites that were worth seeing. For example, we had less than 20 minutes to spend in Locorotondo and 25 minutes in Ostuni, barely enough time to see much let alone grab a drink or do some shopping. The stop in Alberobello was the longest one. After the guided tour those of us who had opted out of the pre-booked lunch and wine tasting events had a little over an hour to have lunch and explore more of the town. The touristy area there was packed with people, lunch was rushed and no more sightseeing. It would have been much better to enjoy a relaxing lunch in the shady and cool alleyways and courtyards of Locorotondo or Ostuni. After Alberobello, we were shuttled to the remaining towns with no information about the towns other than a short pre-recorded audio message at the start of the tour,or the sites - which to see, which were open or closed, which were under repair. The tour operator merely dropped us off, led us to a meeting point and told us when to be back. Lastly, we’re in Puglia in August. It is HOT. It would have been nice if the tour operator would’ve been kind enough to provide passengers with at least one bottle of cold water during the eight hour experience. A couple more negatives, but I’ll stop there.

Good way to see Alberobello, Locorotondo and Ostuni without renting a car. Visit to Puglia not complete without a visit to Alberobello.

Our driver Francisco and tour guide in Alberobello were excellent. I would highly recommend this trip. Communication was also excellent even during the trip when the vehicle got a puncture while we were in Ostuni.

We had an amazing day trip to Alberobello, Ostuni, and Locorotondo! We were a family of three and were picked up near our hotel in Lecce. Francesco was our driver for the day, and with only two other couples on the tour, it almost felt like a private experience. Our first stop was Alberobello, and it was absolutely stunning. Seeing the famous Trulli houses in person was even better than the postcards and photos online—they truly lived up to our expectations. I would highly recommend visiting! After exploring Alberobello, we enjoyed brunch at a local restaurant away from the tourist hotspots. We had a delicious platter of cured meats and local cheeses, including burrata and mozzarella, and each of us had a drink included. The Aperol Spritz was excellent! The brunch was fantastic value for money, and the quality of the food was outstanding. We then continued on to Locorotondo and Ostuni, both of which were beautiful towns to explore. Although all three destinations were lovely, Alberobello was definitely my favourite. A special thank you to Lorenzo, our guide in Alberobello. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and more than happy to answer all of our questions, making the visit even more enjoyable. Another special thank you to Francesco, our driver for the day. He was friendly, professional, and shared lots of interesting information about the places we visited, which really enhanced the experience. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone staying in Lecce or Brindisi, especially if you don't have a car. It takes away all the stress of planning transport, navigating unfamiliar roads, and finding parking, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy these beautiful towns.

There is a certain amount of walking, including a number if steps. The limestone can be a little slippery in places, so those who find walking a little difficult may find the tour too much, or May just need a companion whose arm they can hold.

We had the pleasure of spending a fantastic day with Luca as our driver during our excursion from Lecce, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Luca was extremely friendly, professional, and welcoming throughout the day. He immediately connected with our group, making everyone feel comfortable and ensuring we enjoyed every moment of the tour. His local knowledge, positive attitude, and willingness to accommodate our needs truly made the day special. The tour was well organised, relaxed, and enjoyable from start to finish. We highly recommend both Luca and this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Luca, for helping create such wonderful memories! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a super guide, Melania (?) was so informative. She guides like it’s her first day on the job. So enthusiastic & entertaining. We were lucky to have her as our guide.

We loved this trip and it was excellent value. Luca was a great driver & very helpful. A small group of 8 which was a perfect amount. Milena was a fantastic local guide for Alberobello - so lovely and full of local knowledge. Perfect timings at each location. Highly recommend 😁

Easy walking. A bit uphill. Ample time for shopping. Restrooms easy to locate. Driver good on the road. Trulli well covered. Directions to overlooks could be better.

The places are beautiful, but the conditions that were contracted are not met; the tour was in Spanish, and the driver and the guide do not speak Spanish. So we ended up looking foolish without understanding anything.
