Itinerary idea in detail

Private customized tour. Ask us about booking your international flights at our preferred rates.

  • On arrival at Bari, you're met by your private driver and driven to your hotel. The rest of the day is free to settle into your hotel and explore the city. You may want to visit one of the many museums or churches.

  • This morning, your private guide will meet you at the hotel to begin a walking tour of the alluring cave town of Matera. You will learn about the turbulent local history while navigating the maze-like stairs and alleyways.

  • This morning your driver will collect you and take you to a scenic agriturismo in the countryside outside of Matera. Here you will enjoy an immersive cooking class with a local family. After your class and delicious lunch, you will cross the border into neighboring Puglia and settle into your hotel in Fasano.

  • Today, you'll be met by your private guide and driver and travel to the port town of Bari, the region's capital. Explore the historic old town while sampling some local Puglian food. Afterwards, journey through seemingly endless olive groves until you reach Castel del Monte, an elevated castle whose origins remain a mystery today.

  • This morning, meet with your private guide and driver and journey to the trulli town of Alberobello. Explore both sides of the town, filled with strange, conical trulli houses. Next, visit the seaside town of Polignano a Mare, which seems to cling precariously to the rocks above the sea. Explore the village before returning to your hotel.

  • Today, your driver will take you to the village of Ostuni, where you will meet your private guide. Ostuni is a town painted in white, perched on the top of a hill overlooking the sea and expansive olive groves. Explore the narrow streets filled with painted balconies and plants before reaching the cathedral at the top. Afterwards, continue south to the Baroque town of Lecce.

  • This morning, you're met by a specialist cycling guide to take you on a cycling tour of the Baroque town of Lecce. Navigate the streets with your guide, while making stops at some of the city's most important landmarks. Just before finishing the tour, indulge in a tasting of local olive oils and wines. The rest of the day is at leisure to further explore the Baroque architecture or one of the town's many museums.

  • Today, you'll be met by your driver and transferred further south to the town of Otranto. The rest of the day is free to enjoy the hotel facilities or explore the seaside town and local beach.

  • This morning, you'll be met by your private guide and driver at the hotel. Upon arrival in Galatina, explore the 13th-century Santa Caterina church, which boasts well-preserved Giotto-style frescoes. After your visit, travel back to Otranto, exploring the old town sites, including the cathedral, which contains 12th-century mosaics.

  • Your private driver will bring you to Brindisi Airport for your onward flight.
