Breathtaking UNESCO: Alberobello & Matera Day Tour from Bari

The tour will went well not too fast paced, we did not feel "forced" around which can happen sadly on some guide tours. Out guide Vito was friendly attentive and adapted to the group. Timing was all as advertised. The car comfortable and we learned a lot on the trip, perhaps a little "free" with some of the stats much enjoyable all the same. Bother locations clearly are heavily tourist biased, but we were not pressured into anything.

Vito was our tour guide. There was a misunderstanding with pick up. The walk was too far to meet him for two elderly people with mobility issues. I alerted Vito before arriving so I was surprised at the distance to meet him. We had a private tour and we have since met fellow passengers who were met by their Viator guide right at the terminal and dropped off right in front. Vito told us that was not possible yet we saw first hand that their Viator guide did just that. . Vito was as accommodating as he could be I think but seemed a little taken aback by the slow walking and limited ability to walk. This tour clearly was too much for the two sisters. He gave us what history he could in Matera when we were 4 but it was abbreviated. On to Alberobello which was farther than we expected and Vito felt rushed for time. No time for lunch… again an abbreviated tour. We arrived back at the ship over an hour earlier than we expected and then a long walk back to the terminal. I think Vito was annoyed although we feel he did what he could do within the limitations we had. We would definitely go back to both locations when we could spend more time. But after paying over $1000 for this tour, and did not stop for even a snack, shortened tour… and rushed back to port with a long walk in…it was a bit disappointing. Again, I think Vito tried but maybe he was frustrated with us. However I did alert everyone involved when I made this reservation that there were mobility issues.

Fantastic! I thought the driving was a little fast. It made me feel like I was on a roller coaster at an amusement park.

I only recommend the tour with Vito. It was an amazing experience and Vito is very helpful and has a deep knowledge of the history and antropology which makes this tour even more special.

We got a guide who was more like a drier, provided little meaningful info about the history of the sites.

Vito our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge. Enjoyable day visiting Matera and Alberobello. Historic and memorable sights.

We spent a fascinating day with Vito, our very knowledgeable guide. A true professional, he knew just the right amount of time in each city with just the right amount of information. We highly recommend booking a tour with the very interesting man. By the end of the tour, we felt that we had made an Italian friend.

Our family loved this tour, Vito gave us a wonderful experience in Matera and Alborobello! What a wonderful hidden gem! So much history, which Vito was so impressive with his knowledge. Lots of walking on a very hot day, make sure you wear comfy shoes and wear a hat! Thanks Vito for a great day!

Tour director provided very little details and background to the places visited. We stopped at shops and places where he knew the owners. Gave little history or background, especially in Matera. Passed one church and asked about it. He just said it's not important because it's only a hundred years or so old. So no description or history. We heard other travel guides describing many more details which he omitted
