Itinerary
Free visit of the city where you can try the famous special coffee or delicious gelato in one of the many coffee bars in the historic center. Look out from its balconies overlooking the sea to take pictures of the famous caves. Dip your feet in the waters by the cliff at Cala Porto or simply admire the view from the bridge on the ancient Via Traiana. Fly with your imagination next to the statue of Domenico Modugno.
Walk around the historic center with the possibility of visiting one of the thousands trulli inside. Visit to the Trullo Sovrano (2 euros), the most majestic and rich in history, now a museum. Visit to the Trullo Church dedicated to Sant'Antonio da Padova. The trulli are extraordinary examples of dry stone slab construction, a technique dating back to prehistoric times and still used in this region. The trulli are traditional dry stone huts with a roof made of dry-set slabs. They served as temporary shelters or as permanent homes for small landowners or agricultural workers. They were built in roughly worked limestone, extracted during excavations for the construction of underground cisterns, stones collected in the countryside and from surrounding rocky outcrops. These buildings have the characteristic rectangular structure with a conical roof made of set stones.
Visit to the ancient area called Sassi and lunch break in one of the many local restaurants. The name Sassi identifies the two main neighborhoods that make up the historic center of the city of Matera, Baresano and Caveoso, obtained by working the local tuff stone. Partly excavated and partly built, these rock complexes have been inhabited since prehistoric times. Promoted to World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993, they represent the testimony of exceptional human life since the dawn of time. Possibility of guided tours on request.

This is an incredible way to explore the different towns and beauty Puglia has to offer! Enzo was very knowledgeable and easy going. He was great at answering our questions, giving us plenty of time to explore and learn more about local culture.
Enzo was great. Made the long drives pleasurable and explained the sights.
I would like to thank and praise the excellent tour of Matera, Alberobello and Polignano a Mare. The guide demonstrated great experience and deep knowledge of the region of Puglia, making each visit even more interesting and enriching. During the whole tour, he was attentive, patient and available to clarify doubts and meet our needs. His sympathy, education and nice company made all the difference, turning the day into an unforgettable experience. I recommend your services without any hesitation to all who wish to know Puglia with comfort, safety and the company of an exceptional professional. Thank you so much for making this trip so special!
Great 👍 A perfectly organized tour tailored to our needs and expectations. Excellent communication and great customer service. Highly recommended! I always use their services whenever I visit Bari.
Beautiful area of southern Italy. Our guide/driver was great. We had very little Time unfortunately but we made it to every city we wanted to see. Would highly recommend.
Enzo was an excellent guide. As a local, he shared a wealth of knowledge about the area’s history and culture, which made the experience even more meaningful. He was very friendly, approachable, and made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend!
These three cities are completely different from one another and nothing we have ever seen before. Enzo our guide had just the right suggestions for each stop. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and made each stop special. We had a good balance of being guided as well as having time to explore on our own.
This is definitely more of a transportation option. There was no tour as driver never left vehicle . Nice enough guy but not what we expected from description and price. We were dropped off with a pick up time and left to explore on our own.
Enzo is a very knowledgeable about the Puglia region. He was very friendly and accommodating and took this trip st very short notice.
Great tour for these towns within a day! The transportation was comfortable and smooth. Enzo was super friendly and shared lots of history and fun facts during the transfer. He gave us tips on what to get in different areas. We had enough time to explore all destinations and grabbed lunch in Matera. Recommend!
