What an amazing day! This is a review I am excited to write. Our guide, Emilio, provided us with the perfect tour for visiting Alberobello and Locorotondo. I had read about both of these cities and their unique history and wanted to visit both of them. The package tour Emilio provided enabled us to see the cities, enjoy their food, and learn about the local wines.
We were picked up by Emilio in Ostuni and the tour started as soon as we got in the car. We got bonus material during the drive to Alberobello. We learned about the region and its history. This was a great introduction to the area. In Alberobello we met another four guests who came from a different city to join the tour.
Alberobello is home to a unique architecture, the rock cone roofs. We learned about the strange history behind the buildings.
From Alberobello, we made our way to a local winery for a tour and tasting. The staff made us feel very welcome at the winery and we enjoyed a break from the sun.
After the winery we visited Locorotondo where we explored the city before having lunch. Lunch comprised a huge platter of local foods along with a refreshing beverage.
Throughout the day, Emilio was so much fun to spend time with. After the tour he shared recommendations for breakfast pastries, pizza, and dinner recommendations. We ended up going to the pizza place twice and the pastry place three times! I strongly recommend this tour. You will have a wonderful day with Emilio!

Fantastic educational town and wine tour.
Overall very pleasant visit. Emilio was very well informed about the towns we visited, Alberobello and Lotorotondo, as he’s a native of the region. The history of both towns is fascinating and we had plenty of opportunity I toes for photos and shopping. The wine tour was in the middle of the tour and we visited a fantastic small winery and learned about their wine making process and ended with the tasting of five of their craft wines. We ended with a tour and lunch in Lotorotondo which was also to notch. Definitely recommended.

Great way to explore Puglia
This is a great way to see the villages of Locorotondo and Aberobello, our guide was very informative and the entire experience was seamless. He picked us up in his car from our hotel and dropped us back afterwards. We saw the main sights in each town, had lunch as well as a wine tasting experience. Overall, it's a great half day experience to do while in Puglia - I would not recommend staying in either of these villages as they are very small, so doing this tour makes sense!

Amazing day with Emilio!
We had a great day with Emilio, he collected us from our apartment as agreed and we spent the day in Alberobello, Locorotondo and wine tasting in a lovely vineyard. Emilio was very knowledgeable on both towns and had organised a visit to a Trullo with some Local Liquor tastings which were delicious. The vineyard we visited was really lovely and we got to taste 5 wines and got a tour of the vineyard. Emilio also organised a lovely local lunch in Locortondo. I would definitely recommend the tour.

Great way to explore
We had a great time today with Emilio exploring & hearing about the history of Alberobello & Locorotondo. We enjoyed walking through the trulli and meeting Mino at his shop inside a trulli he is 5th generation to own. Then we went to a winery for a great tasting. Next stop lunch and a walk through Locorotondo. It was a great way to see and hear about more villages in the area

Great tour
Emilo was able to tell us a lot about the cities we visited, but it wasn't so long-winded that it kept us focused. So it was really nice to listen to him! There was plenty to do throughout the day, but we didn't have to rush, which was still nice. Plus, plenty of food and drinks are provided, making it really worth the money. At the vineyard, you get a fair number of wine glasses to taste, and afterward, you get a fully catered lunch. You can also buy bottles of wine at the vineyard for a reasonable price or have them shipped home.

Experience the authentic Valle d’Itria
We booked this tour because we’d hired a car in Puglia before and found driving/navigating/parking quite stressful. This was the complete opposite - an absolutely relaxing way to experience the countryside of the Valle d’Itria. Our guide Emilio was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about the area, and ensured we had a fantastic day. Visiting Alberobello first thing in the morning meant that we got to see the town at its best. The visit to the trullo where we tasted local liqueurs and chilli products was great fun, and we got fantastic views over the town. The wine tour in the countryside was lovely - I recommend the white wine in particular! And a special shout out to the winery cat who followed us around :) The next stop was Locorotundo and I’m so glad we got to visit this pretty little town. Again, Emilio’s historical knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the visit. The vegetarian lunch option at a local restaurant was excellent, and a nice added touch was a coffee and local apple dessert in a bar in the town’s main square. We had a really great time and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour. Yes, it would be cheaper to hire a car, but you would miss all the local stories and context that Emilio gave us. His pride in his local area was infectious! Such a memorable end to our holiday in Puglia.

Fantastic tour of...
Fantastic tour of Alberobello, Angelo was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Wine tour was excellent, informative. Wine and aperitifs were delicious. The afternoon alert apertivo in Locorotondo was an amazing way to cap off the day! Would highly recommend this tour
