Pulgia small group tour
If you want a small group tour of Pulglia, this is it!! This is for history buffs AND foodies! Gaetano, our driver/guide, was very knowlegeable and organized. Our experiences were varied (historical, working farms, cooking demos, delicious restaurants). We only had 4 people on our tour and luckily we became new friends. Great local guides. The only downside, since we were only 4, we sat 3 across in the back seat...a bit uncomfortable. I would HIGHLY recommend!!!
Response from the operator: Grazie mille, Paula. I enjoyed the time we spent all together during our Puglia tour. I'm very happy that everything was perfect, and that the Foodies was something that everybody has appreciated and loved. I hope to see you and Lee again, maybe on the Amalfi Coast for more adventures. All the best Arrivederci

Fun, food, History, and so much more, the best way to visit Puglia
Fantastic experience.. our driver/ guide Gaetano Barone was professional, well organised, knowledgeable, friendly, and made our small group of 8 feel instantly comfortable. Our 16 seater coach, clean comfortable and being only 8 each had leg room and a window seat, and his driving seamless and careful. The variety of experience gave us a true look into the heart of this fascinating area, touching on the most significant highlights of historical and cultural note, along with those hidden gems on off the beaten track experiences, the gourmet, to the natural beauty. Our accommodations were comfortable and of high standards throughout. From tBari to Alberello, the Sassi to the mystery of Castel monte, oil processing, hands on cheese making, delicious meals and wine experiences, and so much more. My husband and I cannot rate our enjoyment of this trip highly enough.
Response from the operator: Dear Robyn thank you very much for your detailed and amazing review. I am very happy that you had a fantastic time in our Discovery of Puglia tour, and enjoyed all the local experiences and places we visited. I hope to see you again in Southern Italy soon, in the meantime enjoy your travels and all the best. Arrivederci

FABULOUS WAY TO SEE PUGLIA!
My friend and I LOVED this small group (8 people) guided walking tour of beautiful and historic Puglia. Our knowledgeable, friendly and professional guide Gaetano Barone, planned full day walking, historic sightseeing, and dining adventures to a large variety of places. We enjoyed behind the scene tours of a vineyard, cheese making operation, an olive oil factory, iconic churches, castles, caves, and FANTASTIC dining experiences, in the quaint small towns, and in the cities throughout the Puglia region. Gaetano also hired local guides in a number of places to share their depth of knowledge of the particular area we were visiting. All the accommodations were very comfortable and well located for night time walking. The Mercedes Touring van was very comfortable and Gaetano is an excellent driver. I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much Lauren, it was a great pleasure to have you all onboard on our DIscovery of Puglia tour. I hope to see you again in Southern Italy. Arrivederci

Fantastic tour of Puglia!
Gaetano’s GOINITALY Puglia tour was such a joy. Gaetano is professional, personable and very knowledgeable about the area. He was accommodating for any special needs we might have. Each day was adventure filled with outstanding sights and interesting places—some off the beaten path. Lodging was great and the meals were all so very delicious. Gaetano also employed local guides in some of the areas for more in-depth information. I felt in good hands with Gaetano’s driving and would not hesitate to go on another GOINITALY tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for such amazing review. We are very happy that ou had a great tour in Puglia and we hope to see you again in Southern Italy. Grazie

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
DISCOVERY OF PUGLIA Small Group Tour: 8 Days / 7 Nights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bari.
How much does DISCOVERY OF PUGLIA Small Group Tour: 8 Days / 7 Nights cost?
+
Prices start at $5200 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 DISCOVERY OF PUGLIA Small Group Tour: 8 Days / 7 Nights take?
+
Plan for about 192 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 DISCOVERY OF PUGLIA Small Group Tour: 8 Days / 7 Nights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Bari, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule DISCOVERY OF PUGLIA Small Group Tour: 8 Days / 7 Nights?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is DISCOVERY OF PUGLIA Small Group Tour: 8 Days / 7 Nights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 192-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book DISCOVERY OF PUGLIA Small Group Tour: 8 Days / 7 Nights?
+
Around 3 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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does DISCOVERY OF PUGLIA Small Group Tour: 8 Days / 7 Nights 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, Bari Vecchia Group Tour in Italian. 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.
