Itinerary
Ostuni
120 min
Ostuni, the "white pearl of Puglia," appears as a mirage to those arriving from the road that connects it to the coastal state road, a white cloud suspended in the blue sky typical of the area, overlooking a vast valley of millenary olive trees protected by the State. Dazzling the whiteness of the houses and the whitewashed streets, in the evening it turns into a magical village of light with a lively nightlife! Getting lost in its alleys surrounded by silence will be a pleasure for the eyes and for the soul. It is impossible not to recognize the strong Greek imprint that characterizes the city, and that makes us understand the origins of the white city par excellence!
Cisternino
90 min
The whitewashed houses of this neat and charming town perched on a hilltop are surrounded by the green typical vegetation of the Murgia dei trulli, in a very panoramic position overlooking Itria Valley, it's declared one of the 100 most beautiful little town of Italy! The main church dedicated to S. Nicola houses a 1517 statue of a Madonna with Child by Stefano da Putignano, the most important Renaissance artist of Puglia!
Polignano a Mare
120 min
Spectacular and scenic is the location of the historic center of this town in the south of Bari, perched on a high white cliff overlooking the sea. Polignano a Mare offers a maze of alleys that open surprisingly onto balconies 30 meters above the sea level. Capital of the Apulian artisan ice cream, it is the birthplace of Domenico Modugno, whose statue dedicated to him stands out on the beautiful city waterfront. Theater of several international movie sets, it is one of the most famous tourist destinations for its turquoise and clean sea, awarded by Legambiente!

Tour of Ostuni, Polignano a Mare, and Cisternino
Very interesting and unique places
Both the guide Jean Franco and his driver Jacinto did an excellent job, allowing us to know the most representative aspects of each place.
The tour is definitely worth it.

What's not to Love about Italy??!!
We had a wonderful time touring these three cities with JonFranco and we spent the day before also touring with him to Lecce. He is super organized, funny, full of energy, knowledgeable for sure, and he felt like a long time friend when we said goodbye. He loves his country and he causes you to love it too...though we already have for years! He did this tour with us (English speaking) and two other couples (Spanish speaking) and he flipped between languages with an ease I have never heard before! Amazing. We loved all the spots he took us to, and he introduced us to Coffee Lecce which we are waiting to return to in the future! His driver and the van we were in were lovely and very comfortable and the two days we spent on these tours were some of the best we've had in 25 years of travel.
Operator response
Thank you so much for this truly wonderful review—honestly, it's one of the most beautiful reviews we have ever received!
We are delighted that your two days exploring Lecce, Monopoli, Alberobello, and Polignano a Mare with Gianfranco were among the highlights of your 25 years of travel. He will be thrilled to hear that his energy, humour, knowledge, organisation, and passion for Puglia made you feel like you were travelling with a longtime friend.
We are also so pleased that you appreciated his ability to guide the group seamlessly in both English and Spanish, as well as the comfort of the van and the professionalism of the driver. It was a pleasure introducing you to Caffè Leccese, and we hope to welcome you back to Puglia very soon for another unforgettable experience!

Great tour with a fantastic guide!
This was a fantastic small tour to Ostuni, Cisternino and Polignano a Mare. We were lucky to be the only 2 on the tour that day and our guide Jean-Franco was extremely lovely and knowledgeable about the locations and its’ history. We had a great time.

Nice paced visit to interesting cities br Bari
Elegant was a lovely guide and Paolo our excellent driver fir the day's trip. 7 trippers in a minibus with soft suspension was a little uncomfortable at times on the pot holed roads however our driver did his best to minimise discomfort. The a/c worked well as it was a hot day. There was a fair bit of climbing and descending in Ostuni at a very leisurely pace so ok for most. The views from the city were amazing. Views from Cisternino across the valley are fantastic. Plenty opportunities for breaks, drink, wc, snacks, shops etc. Lastly Polignano. Lovely coastal town with a few small hidden features worth finding. Time on the tour for eating, drinking, walking and official guide to finish the day before short ride back to Bari. Spoilt by fab Oct. weather, lovely guide and driver. Nice to meet visitors from Argentina and Costa Rica too.

Great tour and guide
Enza was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and provided great information about the region and the towns.
The only suggestion would be to include
more of the inside of churches.

Beautiful places with an amazing guide
This was one of the best day trips we did on our vacation. We got lucky and ended up with a private tour as we the only ones booked for the day. Elena was our guide and went above and beyond to help me with my food restrictions. She was also full of knowledge and was so enthusiastic. Our driver was also great. I highly recommend this tour!
