ツアー：アルベロベッロ、オストゥーニ、ロコロトンド：ローカルガイド & ランチ

Very good tour and great way to see 3 different but beautiful towns in Puglia , it is a long day so just be aware that you will be in a coach for half of it . Claudia our guide was very good too and made it very easy to enjoy

The best companion was Claudia, the guide in Alberobello was so-so, the brunch was not as complete as they promised.

Excellent trip friendly tour leaders and an excellent guide. We thoroughly enjoyed Alberobello with its beautiful Trulli houses. Could have done with a map though in Locorotondo as we got lost. Ostuni was very beautiful. Thank you Claudia you were a fabulous tour leaders.

Very interesting sites. Too much down time. I signed up for and paid for lunch. My ticket reflected lunch. But when it came time for lunch we were told lunch had sold out but we could do a tasting which we had no interest in. So we paid for lunch and nothing.

This 3-town tour is amazing. It does involve a great deal of walking, especially as a coach, such as we had, can only park away from the sites of interest. The town of Alberobello is of particular interest with its fascinating conical Trulli buildings. The local guide who was engaged for visiting the Trulli was extremely good, very clear and gave good information and not too much. The pace of that part was just right for all ages and abilities. He explained what we were going to experience. The coach courier was not so explicit and it would have helped for us to be pre-advised (preferably on the journey to the towns) as to what we should expect to see and experience when we arrived at Locorotondo and Ostuni. In each case we were led uphill in hot sunshine for an unknown (at the outset) distance, and then were given a quick summary of what we could or might see in and around the town, and when we should meet. At Ostuni there was a fleet of TukTuks roaming the town. For a few members of the coach party, an option maybe could be made available to use these. This would have been a great relief on such a hot day at what was the final place on the trip to explore

The pluses: departure time was later than scheduled but not by much and the return was on time. The large bus was comfortable and air conditioned. All towns were visited. The tour leader in Alberobello was informative and did her best to accommodate a large group. The negatives: a large group (many from a cruise ship docked in Brindisi) meant having to wait for your turn in blistering heat to see sites in Alberobello. Because the company provided a large bus instead of vans to accommodate the size of the group, the bus needed to park far away from the areas visited and so there was a lot of time (and struggle in the heat) getting to and from the sites that were worth seeing. For example, we had less than 20 minutes to spend in Locorotondo and 25 minutes in Ostuni, barely enough time to see much let alone grab a drink or do some shopping. The stop in Alberobello was the longest one. After the guided tour those of us who had opted out of the pre-booked lunch and wine tasting events had a little over an hour to have lunch and explore more of the town. The touristy area there was packed with people, lunch was rushed and no more sightseeing. It would have been much better to enjoy a relaxing lunch in the shady and cool alleyways and courtyards of Locorotondo or Ostuni. After Alberobello, we were shuttled to the remaining towns with no information about the towns other than a short pre-recorded audio message at the start of the tour,or the sites - which to see, which were open or closed, which were under repair. The tour operator merely dropped us off, led us to a meeting point and told us when to be back. Lastly, we’re in Puglia in August. It is HOT. It would have been nice if the tour operator would’ve been kind enough to provide passengers with at least one bottle of cold water during the eight hour experience. A couple more negatives, but I’ll stop there.

Good way to see Alberobello, Locorotondo and Ostuni without renting a car. Visit to Puglia not complete without a visit to Alberobello.

Our driver Francisco and tour guide in Alberobello were excellent. I would highly recommend this trip. Communication was also excellent even during the trip when the vehicle got a puncture while we were in Ostuni.

We had an amazing day trip to Alberobello, Ostuni, and Locorotondo! We were a family of three and were picked up near our hotel in Lecce. Francesco was our driver for the day, and with only two other couples on the tour, it almost felt like a private experience. Our first stop was Alberobello, and it was absolutely stunning. Seeing the famous Trulli houses in person was even better than the postcards and photos online—they truly lived up to our expectations. I would highly recommend visiting! After exploring Alberobello, we enjoyed brunch at a local restaurant away from the tourist hotspots. We had a delicious platter of cured meats and local cheeses, including burrata and mozzarella, and each of us had a drink included. The Aperol Spritz was excellent! The brunch was fantastic value for money, and the quality of the food was outstanding. We then continued on to Locorotondo and Ostuni, both of which were beautiful towns to explore. Although all three destinations were lovely, Alberobello was definitely my favourite. A special thank you to Lorenzo, our guide in Alberobello. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and more than happy to answer all of our questions, making the visit even more enjoyable. Another special thank you to Francesco, our driver for the day. He was friendly, professional, and shared lots of interesting information about the places we visited, which really enhanced the experience. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone staying in Lecce or Brindisi, especially if you don't have a car. It takes away all the stress of planning transport, navigating unfamiliar roads, and finding parking, allowing you to simply relax and enjoy these beautiful towns.

There is a certain amount of walking, including a number if steps. The limestone can be a little slippery in places, so those who find walking a little difficult may find the tour too much, or May just need a companion whose arm they can hold.
