What people love about Apulia Tours
- Highlights of Puglia
Sonia was an excellent tour leader and was always available for any questions or requirements we had. She was always friendly and outgoing am made the trip very pleasurable.
- Cycle Puglia
We loved it i! It was an amazing experience. Make sure to get e-bikes. It's not that easy. A great adventure with memories that will last you a lifetime ! Puglia is beautiful region of Italy! Cycling gives you the authentic local nature cultural and environmental feel of the land and it's people!
- Taste of Salento-Authentic Culinary Experience
This was an exceptional tour with quite a difference! I am a 59 year old female from Australia, and I was travelling alone. I had not seen this region in Italy before and was looking for a tour to join. This was the only tour available during the dates I had available - the only issue was that I was the only one booked on the tour!! After some negotiating - the company agreed to run the tour, tailored for me alone!! I was initially reluctant to do a solo tour, but figured it would be the only way I would be able to get around Puglia on my own. This tour went far beyond all expectations I had - from the very moment I met Clara at the station, until saying goodbye to Clara and her husband Emilio when they dropped me off at the station in Lecce. I was accommodated in the most wonderful Masseria (farmhouse) owned by Clara and Emilio. My apartment was brand new consisting of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen/lounge area and a terrace. It was very comfortable and air conditioned throughout. The Masseria is on 20 hectares of olive trees as well as a variety of fruit trees and an organic vegetable garden. It is very quiet and tranquil. Emilio is the chef - and has a real passion for cooking. The food he prepared was fresh from the garden with an incredible variety of dishes. Twice a day I ate in the restaurant (which is also open to the public) - and each time I ate, I was delighted by the freshness and flavours of the food. Both Clara and Emilio drove me around the entire of Puglia - introducing me to incredible sights from archeological and historical to just about every cave, beach, cove and lake on both sides of Puglia. Nothing at all was a problem for them! The tour was very relaxed - yet I was immersed fully in the experience of seeing and experiencing new sights, activities and food every day! I have been to Italy around 15 times - and this was the BEST experience I have ever had, without doubt!!!! Truly - I cannot recommend this tour enough! I have been back home for 2 days - and I can't wait to get back and do it all over again (which I am planning for next September). A huge thanks to Clara and Emilio (and their two adorable little girls) - you gave so much of yourselves and have touched my heart forever!! Grazie Mille!!!!

"9 day tour of Puglia is really 7 days because 2 days involve travel. We would have been happy to skip the last 3 days. We visited one estate that had an excellent lunch. It also had its own wine which was excellent. We believe there should be some winery visits. We didn't like the experience of sharing part of the tour with South Americans.

"Sonia was an excellent guide but there were some parts of the tour we either felt were strange or did not enjoy. We had booked this tour because it did not have any meals planned besides breakfast. We wanted to seek out southern Italian cuisine ourselves, not find that the group seemed expected to go for evening meals together. It was intriguing to stay in the Trullo and the cave hotel in Sassi. But the hotels in Bari and Lecce were of very low quality. Probably a two star. Threadbare towels, mould in shower in the Lecce Hotel. We were also taken by surprise at being asked for the ‘tip kitty’ in the parking lot of the castle. The option of prepaid tips should be given. And as for two of the guides at the castle and in Lecce, we wouldn’t have personally tipped either of them. We couldn’t understand them and they bored on interminably. The best guide was in Matera. Escape! doesn’t provide whisperers, so it’s often impossible to hear guides anyway. Buses were often small without enough leg room. For some totally unknown reason the tour ends in Lecce when it would make more sense to end in Bari. The two villages we were advised to visit on the free day were not worth visiting at all. We would have been better advised to stay in Alberobello. Sonia is an excellent guide and did an admirable job. We still don’t know why Escape! Insisted on having our travel insurance details. We have never been asked for this information in 20 years of travelling. We enjoyed the itinerary but found some of Escape!’s policies disconcerting

"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!
