Apulia Tours & Trips
Think Apulia (Puglia in Italian) is Italy's next big thing? This heel region offers Lecce's baroque architecture, Alberobello's trulli houses, white-washed Ostuni, and coastal Polignano a Mare perched on cliffs. You'll eat orecchiette (ear-shaped pasta), burrata created here, fantastic seafood, and drink local wines. Explore the beaches along the Adriatic and Ionian coasts, and Castel del Monte's unique octagonal castle. Go before everyone discovers it.

A wonderful trip for young and old. Emilio and his family were great hosts -- and all were delightful--wife Clara and the children (5), brother Michael, father Antonio. The food was terrific: traditional Puglian dishes, plus special requests. A relaxed atmosphere in an amazing country with personable hosts and the opportunity to share culture, opinions, and make new friends.

I had a stressful start as I was given the wrong flight time to meet up with the group for the transfer to our start city of Matera. After hanging around the airport to catch a shuttle, my tour guide turned up at the correct time to meet the rest of the group. After that the cycle tour was amazing. Well organised, great accommodation, fabulous guide & support staff. I iopted for an ebike which I am glad of as there was some mean hills but great views. The countryside is spectacular. I highly recommend this tour.

We had just one problem with the hotel in Alberobello, we were taking to a different hotel that was far from city center.but it was resolved by sending us to the original hotel. The tour guides and drivers were excellent, on time and very knowledgeable.
