Itinerary
During the Christmas period, Polignano a Mare is transformed into an enchanted village, where the lights help to create a magical atmosphere. The old town, with its cobbled streets and characteristic balconies overlooking the sea, is decorated with twinkling lights that illuminate every corner. The main square and the famous Bourbon bridge become the focus of the decorations, with light installations that recall Christmas symbols and the sea, paying homage to the identity of the village. Christmas markets and light shows are often organized that make walking through the alleys a unique experience. The view of the lights reflected on the sea adds a touch of poetry, making Polignano a must-see destination during the holidays.
Alberobello, with its iconic trulli, becomes a fairytale place during the Christmas period. The small conical dwellings are illuminated by plays of colored lights that enhance their unique architecture and create a magical effect. Each trullo turns into a canvas, with artistic projections that include Christmas motifs, stars and winter landscapes. The village is home to a charming living nativity scene, where the charm of the lights mixes with traditions. The alleys come alive with Christmas markets and decorations, while Christmas music resounds through the streets. The bright scenery and intimate atmosphere make Alberobello a fairytale place during Christmas.
In Locorotondo, Christmas offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere thanks to its elegant lights. The circular streets of the old town, already fascinating in themselves, are adorned with golden lights and decorations that wrap around balconies, arches and staircases. The central square becomes a meeting point, often decorated with a large Christmas tree and lighting that emphasizes the architectural harmony of the village. The whitewashed houses reflect the lights, amplifying the magic of the Christmas atmosphere. Locorotondo is filled with small events, such as concerts and craft markets, which help to create a unique and authentic experience in the heart of the Itria Valley.

Great tour with Gabriella and Antonio. Very informative and we enjoyed all the information and flexibility to wander each place on our own. Fabulous way to see the 3 places in a day.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day with Gabriella and Antonio. It's great to know that the combination of informative guidance and free time to explore at your own pace made the experience even more enjoyable. We're glad you found it to be a fantastic way to discover all three destinations in a single day. We hope to welcome you back to Puglia again soon! 😊
A perfect plan if one wants to visit the 3 towns in one day. Although there was no accompanying guide travelling with us, the hand out gave enough information. The QR code giving audio accompaniment did not work for us and possibly for others, but it did not detract from our experience.
Swift, efficient and well planned out. Enough time was given to see these places in depth. Perhaps Alberobello could have been better served with a drop off at the top near the church and a pick up at the bottom in the valley
It was a truly Smart Tour! I appreciated the digital itineraries and audio guides interspersed with Italian songs. Nunzio, the driver, was kind and punctual, so was Selenia from the customer care.
Lousy, there was no guide, the driver didn't speak English, and the charge was high. I don't recommend it. It's like taking a bus and you're left to fend for a couple of hours
Lamentamos que su experiencia no haya sido satisfactoria y agradecemos su comentario. Queremos aclarar que el tour no preveía la presencia de un guía acompañante, tal como se indica claramente en la descripción y en la información proporcionada antes de la reserva. El servicio incluye el transporte y material informativo, como audioguías y mapas digitales, para que cada participante pueda descubrir el destino de forma autónoma durante el tiempo libre previsto. Entendemos que este tipo de experiencia puede no adaptarse a las expectativas de todos los viajeros, y sentimos que no haya sido lo que usted buscaba. Su opinión nos ayuda a mejorar la claridad de la comunicación para futuros clientes.
You can visit three towns in the surroundings of Bari Polignano, Alberobello and Locorotondo which at Christmas, especially Locorotondo, become even more suggestive. You are accompanied by the bus and this avoids wasting time finding parking and you have time to get around freely. Serious and professional agency. I recommend this experience
We went in the pre-Christmas period with Mr. Rocco, very nice and helpful. All lit up, delicious food. All very nice. Highly recommended.
Grazie di cuore per la tua splendida recensione! Siamo davvero felici che il periodo pre-natalizio, con le sue luci magiche e il cibo delizioso, abbia reso la vostra esperienza così speciale. Il signor Rocco sarà felicissimo di sapere che avete apprezzato la sua simpatia e disponibilità. Speriamo di accogliervi di nuovo presto per altre avventure memorabili! 🎄✨😊
Nice hike. Alberobello and the Trulli and like a fairy tale. The lights were wonderful. The driver, Rocco, is very nice. Very recommended.
Grazie mille per la tua bellissima recensione! Siamo felicissimi che tu abbia apprezzato l’escursione ad Alberobello e i suoi incantevoli Trulli. Le luci rendono davvero l’atmosfera magica, e sapere che Rocco ha contribuito a rendere la tua esperienza ancora più speciale ci riempie di gioia. Speriamo di rivederti presto per un’altra avventura! 😊✨
