I don't recommend it.
Lousy experience! They left us standing at the meeting place, no one ever showed up to take us on the excursion. We lost 150 euros

I would prefer a larger, more comfortable bus
Three things I wish I knew about this tour before signing up: 1) The minibus we rode in didn't have air conditioning but lots of fans. It was very warm out -- and in the van. 2) We took the option with a guided tour. They outsourced the tour in Alberebello to another agency. While was the guide was good, the group was much larger than our group from the tiny, warm van. They also had a lot of people join us in Matera. 3) The pickup area was shared by many companies and it was hard to know which tour company was ours. Eventually a gentlemen with no company logo showed up to head us to the small bus. Overall this was a small bus ride but large tour group experience. For that i would rather be in a larger, more comfortable bus. That said both the guides were fantastic.
Response from the operator: We’re sorry to read about the aspects that affected your overall comfort and expectations. Heat and lack of clarity at the meeting point can understandably take away from the experience. The outsourced guided portion and larger groups are sometimes necessary, but we understand this may not feel aligned with the idea of a small-group tour. We’re glad you still appreciated the quality and professionalism of the guides, and we’ll take your comments into account to improve coordination, group sizing, and clarity for future guests.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Trip to Alberobello and Matera from Bari with shared transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bari.
How much does Day Trip to Alberobello and Matera from Bari with shared transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $71 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bari usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Trip to Alberobello and Matera from Bari with shared transfer take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bari is not rushed.
Is Day Trip to Alberobello and Matera from Bari with shared transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bari, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Trip to Alberobello and Matera from Bari with shared transfer?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day Trip to Alberobello and Matera from Bari with shared transfer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip to Alberobello and Matera from Bari with shared transfer?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bari can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bari and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip to Alberobello and Matera from Bari with shared transfer start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bari within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bari?
+
On Outty we rank every Bari experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bari’s Ultimate Street Food Tour - Small Group by Do Eat Better, Boat Tour of the Polignano a Mare Coast with Aperitif, Polignano a Mare: Boat Tour of the Caves - Small Group. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bari?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bari?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
