About this experience

Pickup available from Lecce, Brindisi and Ostuni.
If you want to experience the real Itria Valley — without crowds, rush or “touch-and-go” tours — this is the right choice. Enjoy it as a private experience or in a small group, with smooth logistics designed to let you enjoy every moment.

Spend a full day among trulli, whitewashed towns and ancient olive trees, accompanied by a dedicated driver and a professional audio-guide that reveals stories and details most visitors miss.
The key difference? You get far more time in Alberobello and Ostuni, not the rushed visits typical of standard tours.

In Alberobello, wander through the UNESCO trulli district, explore the most authentic alleys and enjoy a tasting of local extra virgin olive oil to appreciate its true quality.
Then continue to Ostuni, the famous White City, a maze of narrow streets and terraces overlooking the Adriatic — perfect for photos, shopping and exploring.

An authentic, comfortable and well-organized itinerary for travelers who want to discover Puglia with time, quality and care.
