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.

This tour is a great and easiest way to explore Solento. Guests stay at a farm and every day visit a new area of the region. Every day you get to dine with local products deliciously prepared by the host (paired with Puglia wines). Emilio is a wonderful chef, a caring host and a knowledgeable guide that pays a great deal of attention to guests’ needs and desires. Thank you Emilio, Michael, Antonio and Clara for such a wonderful experience (and, of course, a special thanks to Pongo for being such a welcoming host).

We had a wonderful trip. Our guides were excellent and provided detailed explanations of the areas that we visited. We did have some bed weather for two of the days but our tour operators and guides made some changes which was much appreciated without missing what we came to see. Finally our driver on the tour, whilst he did speak English that well and us not speaking Italian, provided us with many insights and we made us all smile with our gestures to each other. Would recommend!
