We booked this trip through our hotel in Gallipoli and our driver Alessio was both on time and courteous and the transport was very comfortable. Reasonably priced compared to other tour options. So good we booked another trip the next day. Much better alternative than hiring a car. Would not hesitate to book again if ever in the region.
The tours are perfectly planned and organized, the vehicles very comfortable, the drivers excellent. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery and the fascination of the selected cities from the first moment of the trip.
Monday, September 15, 2025, we made an excursion with Tiziano to Alberobello and Polignano di mare. During the trip, Tiziano gave us explanations about some cities as well as the bacteria that kills a lot of olive trees, etc... Alberobello is really beautiful, I would even say extraordinary and the town of Polignano a mare is very beautiful too but in a very different kind. Tiziano was always very patient and smiling, because not all of us spoke Italian. It was really an extreme pleasure to do this excursion with him as a driver. Thank you 1000 times. Michèle and Tony
