Afternoon Tour Secrets of Alberobello incl. Food & Wine tasting
Description
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and capital of the famous ‘trulli' houses, Alberobello is one fascinating place to explore. You'll see a different side to this Puglian town by visiting the district of Aia Piccola, meeting a couple who live in a ‘trullo' and tasting local food. The best part about this tour is that you'll visit Alberobello in the afternoon, after all the crowds have left for the day. And instead of simply seeing its highlights, you'll discover the real Alberobello by wandering around the tiny streets of the Aia Piccola neighbourhood, home to the white ‘trulli' houses, which are characterised by their conical shape. You'll meet an elderly couple who still live in one before dropping in at a traditional enoteca, Tholos. Here, you'll find out about the Puglian slow food movement while sampling local wines and a careful selection of local products. Some free time rounds off the day.

Itinerary
Enjoy a walk in the historic district of the Alberobello and its fairy-tale like Trulli houses round off the day. UNESCO World Heritage site and so called "capital of the Trulli-houses", features a concentration of more than 1400 of Apulia’s typical Trulli on the two hills “Aia piccola” and “Rione monti”. This rural and unique architecture of cone-shaped dwellings is found in the entire Apulian region, usually scattered between endless olive groves and low-set vineyards. Discover why this stunning mortarless architecture was so popular in the past and how the Trulli were build.
Visit a typical trullo house, where an old couple welcomes you into their home. And experience an exclusive wine tasting with typical Apulian finger food in Tholos, an Enoteca, housed in an ancient Trullo.

The tour was cancelled the morning was to take place. We ended up getting a taxi from Polignano to Alberobello & caught a walking tour at 4 pm then caught a taxi back to Polignano. Was an accident on way home. Courtesy bus from accomodation forgot to pick us up. 🤷♀️

Everything went super smoothly from pickup to dropoff. Instructions and communication were clear throughout the booking process and the experience. The guides spoke multiple languages and ensured that everyone in the group could understand what we saw and were learning about. The driver was excellent and professional. Seeing the trulli and walking through the village was magical. I highly recommend this experience.
