I need to know the specific names of the hotels that you will be using and the number of nights we'll be spending in each place.

Bari - Nicolaus Hotel - 2 nights Nardo - Relais Monastero Santa Teresa - 2 nights Matera - La Suite Matera Hotel and Spa - 2 nights Naples - Culture Hotel Centro Storico - 1 night Kindly note that these are tentative hotels and subject to change.

Could you please clarify the difference between "Standard" and "Premium" hotel options? As a 40 yr old female solo traveler planning to join in July or August, I'm curious about the typical age range of participants on this trip. Any tips for solo travelers would also be appreciated!

Standard hotels are typically at a local 3-star level. They include air-conditioning or heating, Wi-Fi in common areas and rooms, and sometimes a pool. Premium hotels are usually at a local 4-star level. They offer a higher level of comfort, with air-conditioning or heating, Wi-Fi available in rooms, and a pool is generally preferred. We often welcome solo travelers like yourself! While groups can vary, the typical age range tends to be between 30–60 years, with a great mix of backgrounds. Many solo travelers find it's a fantastic way to meet like-minded people and enjoy the journey in great company.

This was my first tour and it did not disappoint. The tour guide, Ivan, and his trainee, Nejc (pronounced Nayts), we’re both incredible. Ivan is Croatian and Nejc Slovenian so they both knew the territory and the stories and history to go with it. Also both lovely guys! The scenery was mind-blowing and each day seemed to better the last. This was the first tour of the season so we did get a few rainy days, but the crowds were much smaller than peak season which well and truly made up for it. I would highly recommend.Show more

  Traveler•Written June 2025
  Would it be possible to know the hotels we would be staying at and also the average ages of the other people in the group. Are there solo travelers? I am a 40 year old female and was hoping to travel with like minded people 30 - 50. I would do the premium option hotel.
- Intrepid PremiumOperator•Written June 2025
  The hotel's used are actually listed within the itinerary for the tour itself. To provide exact traveler demographics, we would need to know the exact departure date you are looking to take as they can change date to date.
