One of the highlights was a slice of focaccia from the best focaccia maker in all of Italy! Overall, I would fully recommend this tour. The one challenge was the size of the group, I counted just under 30 people!”

A 2-hour guided Trulli tour of Alberobello: iconic sites, a real trullo home, and big views from Santa Lucia terrace.

“It is an amazing tour. Our tourguide Guido is very nice, professional, passionate with all of the information that he presented to us. He’s very well prepared with all of his documents to demonstrate, he explained the old myths and historical stories. Also he answers lots of our questions, any of our requests on the way (like stop for restroom, or to buy water…) he always tried his best to satisfy us. I’m also impressed that he even prepared little quiz (with prizes) for the kids from a family who joined the tour. At the end of the tour, he gave us recommendations of where to eat around the area.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 660 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $72

Make fresh Bari orecchiette in a local home, paired with a guided old-town walk to major sights. 2.5 hours for $72.

“Really great tour! Vincenzo was very nice and helpful. We started visiting the main places in Bari and then we made orecchiette which was super fun but not easy as I thought it would be which made it even more interesting. We then had some pasta and wine which were good. Not sure it’s worth 39€, but I would still recommend it if you want to have the full experience in Bari! 30/32€ would be a great price to pay for this experience :)”
