Private Tour in 3 Towns: Alberobello, Cisternino, Ostuni.
Description
This walking tour is absolutely amazing, like taking a stroll through a whimsical postcard come to life, where every trullo is more magical than the last! The streets are lined with little stone houses that look like they were plucked straight out of a child’s imagination, each one with a pointy hat (aka roof) that could rival any wizard’s. You’ll be so enchanted by the charm of Alberobello that you might start wondering if the town is secretly a giant set for a fairy tale—or if you’ve accidentally slipped into a land where even the houses know how to rock a good cone-shaped hat!

Itinerary
Ready for a fun-filled day? Departing from Bari, you’ll head straight to the magical town of Alberobello, home of the iconic Trulli houses! With your lively tour guide, you’ll dive into the quirky history behind these cone-shaped cottages. Then, we’ll hop in the car and cruise to the charming town of Locorotondo, where stunning views and whitewashed streets await.
Let your local guide lead you through the enchanting streets of Cisternino, one of Puglia’s most beautiful hilltop towns. Together, you’ll wander through sun-drenched alleys lined with whitewashed houses and bright geraniums, discovering hidden courtyards and panoramic viewpoints that only locals know. Your guide will share stories of Cisternino’s past and daily life, bringing its traditions and charm to life. You’ll meet friendly artisans, feel the warmth of the community, and soak in the irresistible aroma of local dishes sizzling on open grills. As you pause in the piazza, watching the sunset paint the trulli-dotted valley below, you’ll feel the true magic of southern Italy—authentic, welcoming, and unforgettable.
Let's explore Ostuni, a stunning hilltop town in Puglia that looks like it popped out of a postcard! They call it "The White City" because, well… it’s super white. The buildings are whitewashed and gleaming under the sun, making the whole place look like a fairytale. We’ll wander through its twisty little streets (perfect for getting charmingly lost), discover secret alleys, and snap some awesome photos in spots you won’t believe are real. Along the way, you’ll see epic views of the countryside and ancient olive trees—some of them are over 1,000 years old and still going strong! It’s history, beauty, and good vibes all wrapped up in one sunny adventure

We had the best day with Yurii! He is an incredible tour guide, and this was one of the highlights of our trip. We never would have experienced Puglia the same way on our own, and the entire day was seamless from start to finish. He picked us up and dropped us off right where we were staying, which made everything so easy. We had plenty of time to explore each town at our own pace, take photos, and truly enjoy the beauty of the region without ever feeling rushed. Yurii also recommended a great spot for lunch and suggested some local specialties to try, which we absolutely loved. We can’t recommend this tour and Yurii highly enough!
It was fantastic day in Arbelobello and Matera with Yourii as guider, very helpful, good driver, we spent nice time
this was an amazing private tour. we were picked up at the cruise port and visited 3 lovely towns - each with its own unique character. absolutely a wonderful day!
Absolute highlight of our trip! Yurii is simply the best. His passion, deep knowledge of local history, and warm personality made the day unforgettable. He went above and beyond for our personal needs during the tour. We so appreciate all the hidden gems we never would have found on our own. You will surely enjoy every minute. Highly recommend you book with Apulia Prime Tours!
Our Guide, Yuri, is the best. All I can say is that if you have a chance to choose him as your guide, do so. He is everything you could ask for - informative, knowledgeable, polite, funny, etc. He knows many people at the sites that we visited. You can tell that he loves his job. Ask him any question and he has an answer. He takes you to each location and shows you the best places to take pictures, etc. At the end of the trip when we told him what food we wanted to eat, he told us the exact restaurant and called and made the reservation for us. Who does that? Yuri does. He is one of a kind. A real gem.
Yuri was an excellent guide and driver - very knowledgeable about Puglian history and culture. We covered the drives to and the walking tours of the 3 towns very comfortably with enough time to have a relaxed lunch (not included in the trip). I would highly recommend this trip for discovering this part of Puglia. The pick-up and drop-off in Monopoli was very easy.
Thank you so much, Edward. Enjoy your stay in Puglia 🙂
My second time using Viator – and again, it was fantastic! Yurii was a very kind and helpful guide! He always smiled, and we had great conversations with him. He picked us up directly from our hotel and brought us back at the end of the day – that was such a nice touch. In just one day, we visited three different towns, and Yurii shared lots of interesting facts about each place. He told us so much about Puglia, and was happy to answer all our questions. We also had some free time to explore on our own, which was great. He even helped us take photos, so we could keep beautiful memories. Everything was perfect and we really enjoyed the tour, and we’ll remember this day in our hearts!
Such beautiful words. Thanks a lot, and I wish you a wonderful life 🙂
The tour was great to see 3 towns in one day. Yuri was very knowledgeable and easy going — he guides us through the cities but also let us shop and enjoy a bit on our own. Since it was a private tour, we moved at our own pace and were able to see what we wanted to see and ask questions. The pickup at our hotel was an amazing perk as were Yuri’s photography skills!
Ann and John are so amazing. It was a pleasure doing this experience for them. Wish you guys a wonderful and happy live. Come again to explore the rest of Puglia 😊
Our guide Yurii was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. Yurii made our experience very enjoyable. Our family of 5 highly recommends Apulia Prime Tours.
Thank you so much, Mr. Wilkinson! It was a real pleasure guiding your lovely family. I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour—hope to see you again someday in beautiful Puglia! 😊🇮🇹
Fantastic way to explore the region when you don’t want to self drive. Yuri was a fabulous guide, knowledgeable & navigated us through these 3 beautiful hill cities in comfort. Safe driver (not easy to find in Italy) & perfect amount of time at each town. The olive oil & wine tastings were excellent too. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much! I’m really happy you enjoyed the day exploring the hill towns—such a beautiful part of the region! It was a pleasure guiding you in comfort (and safely 😄), and I’m glad the tastings hit the spot too. Hope to see you again for more Puglia adventures! 🍷🌿🚗
