Great trip. Both places...
Great trip. Both places are stunning. Highly recommended. Punctual pickup and friendly service. Great price too.

Not what we expected.
When we booked this trip from Monopoli as advertised, we thought we would be taken straight to Matera. The coach was late, we made another stop in another town where the guide got on, but never spoke. We then went to Bari for another pickup, which had been change so not all the people were there. This is when the guide first spoke saying we could get off the coach for coffee and toilet stop for 20 mins. It was an hour and a half before we started our journey to Matera. The places are well worth a visit, but the guide walked so quickly and some people were left behind, so another delay. We did get back to Monopoli on time.

Average experience
Matera wasn’t four hours but three. A long walk from bus to meeting points. Too much waiting for others for an experience that was said to be independent. Viator should have informed that Pugliamare was in the end the one that was arranging the trip.

The perfect DIY trip to Matera and Alberobello
The trip was well planned and the bus arrived and departed on time. The guide and chauffeur were super friendly and forthcoming. I would however recommend this trip to be taken when it’s below 30 degrees - since both Matera and Alberobello is built on hillsides, you will be walking a lot and a lot up and down throughout both cities. The strain on the body in the sun, heat and steep hills took a little away from our experience of the cities themselves. I give this trip a 5/5 stars since everything was perfect with the guides and no one is to blame for the heat. It’s just some friendly advice for other tourists. Bring water and a hat in August!

A great trip. Messaged...
A great trip. Messaged tour company to clarify pick up point and they replied quickly. Smooth journey to Matera, stopping off to pick a few people up in Bari where there was time to get a drink/comfort break (think there were only 10 of us on excursion). Although excursion is sold as independent/on your own we had a guide on bus who also walked us into the towns and met us later. Had 3 hours in Matera which was enough for us to explore and eat. As we had stayed in Alberobello a few days before we had 2 hours to relax and have a drink or 2. Day ran exactly to itinerary given when we booked. You are given a book with a map of each stop and a bit of info.

stunning experience
seeing matera is an absolute must do but bring shoes with good grip as the steps are obviously well worn. doing your own tour is very doable but we wished we had stayed overnight in matera

Lovely day in Matera and Alberobello
We did the bus tour without guiding. It was really nice. Perfect time in both city. The busdriver and the guide where both så nice.
