Visit Alberobello and Matera from Bari by bus, with free time, useful walking routes, and a full day to explore two UNESCO sites.
“I travel quite a bit and always find my guided tours on GYG and this one was particularly well organized. They give you a brochure with a QR code to scan so you can follow an itinerary on google maps without missing any of the spots. That way you can do everything by yourself. I would recommend getting the tour guide option in Matera as the Sassi has a special history and also it’s kinda of a labyrinth.”
Make orecchiette with a Bari nonna, taste Apulian pasta and wine, and explore the old town’s churches, castle and local lanes.
“Anna was amazing! She was able to do the tour in both English and Italian which was helpful. The gelato was a great touch, and heading to the house to make pasta was fun. I’d definitely book with this company again. Thanks Anna!”
