From Polignano & Bari - Alberobello & Matera Self Guided Tour

It gave only 3 hrs of matera and 1.45 hours of alberobello .. which I thought is v less .. I would recommend 4 hours matera and 3 hours alberobello

Great way to visit Matera and Alberobello. We left our rental car behind and enjoyed the bus ride to both places and were able to relax and nap on the way.

Very handy, lots of time to explore. Great bus driver who could navigate the Italian roads. Very good guide who spoke multiple languages and was very friendly.

My wife and I had a great day trip from Bari to Matera and Alberobello. Our tour leader Francesca was energetic and friendly with all group members displaying sense of humor and good communication skills in Spanish, English and Italian. Umberto drove safely through the day and was amicable as well. Times were managed highly efficient. Congratulations Pugliamare!

Great to see those Trulli houses from the outside but also from the inside.... , but is also a very nice town

Shifted pickup time & place at last minute. Part of group guided though was advertised as self guided; no information at all given to those who went unguided, no simple way to switch from unguided to guided. Guide in Matera ok but not a lot of info; but saw very scenic areas & some typical cave dwellings. Guide in alberobello excellent, a native of the town, very informative & explored the quieter residential area. Time in each adequate. Bus restrooms& chargers non functional. Overall a good tour for the costs

We booked the self guided tour from Bari to go to Matera and Alberobello. We had free time in both locations. 3h in Matera and 2h in Alberobello. This tour is like having a uber driver. Driver picks you up and drops you off. In this tour we were 6 of us. It was very nice. The driver was very nice and attentive. He was on time (before the time) each time. A shame that today the weather was not good. It rains in Alberobello so couldn’t enjoy fully the sightseeing. But even if it was grey and raining we had a good time exploring. Matera is really really nice. If you like old and ancient architecture. The playlist in the car should be more uplifting though. It didn’t help with the grey weather :p. The music was a bit depressing (classical dramatical playlist). But that was only my taste. I would recommend this tour.

I booked via Get Your Guude a day trip to Alberobello and Matera with this company, initially for December 24th. I was contacted by WhatsApp to change my trip to December 20, when I was not yet in Italy. The company accepted the date of December 23. The day before the excursion in the early afternoon, I am told that it may be cancelled and finally confirm to me in the late afternoon that it will not take place and that I cannot book with another provider. Total disregard for customers and obvious bad faith: it was never stated at the time of booking that a minimum number of participants was required (if this is the case, it is always very clearly stated on Get Your Guide). Moreover, this agency does not even have the courage to face up to its actions: it invoked weather reasons with Get Your Guide which is totally false. I hope this provider will be removed from the platform.

Matera is beyond a wonderful experience. And have no fear, if the many steps are not for you, there are flat roads to take you around the old village to see everything. Matera is a must visit while in Italy .

We loved that we could get into a tour from Polignano a’ mare, as many begin in Bari only. The guide was great as far as getting us to and from our meeting points and the bus, giving restaurant recommendations and little bits of history. We like being able to go out, explore and learn on our own so having a guided tour wasn’t our top priority. Lots of walking, and/or hiking, so wearing good shoes is important! This tour would be difficult to do if you’re walking impaired in any way, not in good physical shape or have significant health issues.
