Valerie was so knowledgeable about the history of Ostuni! She was a very thoughtful and kind guide and answered all of our questions. A wonderful tour well spent!
Thank you so much Lisa and Steve. It's been such a pleasure meeting you in Ostuni 🤗
Valeria is a great tour guide and knows the history of Ostuni. She took us off the tourist path and showed us unique areas of the town!
Thank you very much Mary Jane
As other reviewers have said, Valeria is an excellent guide. A very nice lady who has done her research and is very happy to answer questions. We did not know this when booking, but my wife and I had her all to our selves. I gather she usually works with small groups - ehich is their good fortune. Recommend.
Thank you so much Paul and Marie 🙏🏻
This was a wonderful experience. Valeria was very knowledgeable and provided such great information about the city. She went at a great pace for our group. Highly recommend this tour with her- you will not be disappointed.
Grazie, Grazie, Grazie, Kathleen 🙏🏻 Such a nice time with you and your group
We were kept up to date and in contact with Valeria and had a lovely tour of Ostuni. A friendly guide with clear explanations.
Grazie mille Clive and Bonnie 🤗
We were disappointed. Shorter than expected and not very informative. Maybe there isn’t much to know about Ostuni?
I feel sorry that the tour has been disappointing for you, Jim and Sue. Honestly, that's the first time some tourists complain about a not enough informative tour and if you read the reviews you can realize it. You could have asked me whatever you wanted, if you considered the information not enough, you've just asked me about the food. The tour is usually 1 hour and half, it's been a little bit shorter because the Cathedral is closed for renovation works, therefore we were not able to get in. It's been 10-15 minutes shorter, but the itinerary is always the same, we have seen all the attractions described on the website. Then the price?! First, you've booked a private tour... Then, let me say that behind a 1 hour and half tour, there's months and months of researches, in-depth studies, reading historical documents and books, on-site inspections in order to choose the best itinerary, continuing education... By the way, that's your opinion, duly noted.
Excellent tour guide in a very interesting city
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Valerie was flexible when we had to change our date/time. She gave us knowledge information about the area. I enjoyed her positive attitude.
Thank you Jane
Our guide, Valeria, was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the city’s history to life with fascinating stories about its architecture, culture, and local traditions. Every corner of the white-washed city had a story, and the guide made sure we understood the significance behind each monument and street. The tour was not only informative but also engaging and fun, with plenty of hidden gems and insider tips that we would never have discovered on our own. I left with a deeper appreciation for Ostuni and would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an authentic and enriching experience.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words Barbara. I really appreciate

Thank you very much Himadri and Arpita 😊
