Knowledgeable guides
The tour guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. The only issue was that the Matera tour finished at 1pm and we had to be on the bus at 1.15pm a short walk away, to travel to Alberobello. This did not allow any time to purchase any lunch/snack or drinks. So be prepared.

Alberobello Trulli and beautiful Matera
The tour of Matera was very interesting and the tour guide was very knowledgeable. It was also a very long tour and a 15 minute water break would have been a plus as it was a warm day. The tour of the Alberobello Trulli homes was nice too. I just feel that Viator should pay the extra money to walk into the home to see the inside.

Unesco tour
This was a great tour. A UNESCO listed location and explained perfectly with a great tour guide. Definitely recommend.

UNESCO heritage tour of Matera & Alberabello
The sites are both spectacular and definitely not to be missed when visiting Puglia. . The tour involves a lot of walking which is a bit challenging in the very high summer temperatures. Our transportation was a large bus which had to be parked away from the sites. This added to the walking time. We selected a guided tour but we felt our guide lacked clarity and passion.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the beauty of the places visited, although we are sorry that the tour did not fully meet your expectations. Due to local regulations and their status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, large and small buses must park outside the historic areas, which can increase walking time. We will share your comments with our team of guides to improve clarity and engagement in future tours. We hope to have you back for new experiences with us. Best regards, -Erika, Team Pugliamare

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Polignano : Unesco Tour-Guided tour of Matera and Alberobello: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bari.
How much does From Polignano : Unesco Tour-Guided tour of Matera and Alberobello cost?
+
Prices start at $177 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 From Polignano : Unesco Tour-Guided tour of Matera and Alberobello take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 From Polignano : Unesco Tour-Guided tour of Matera and Alberobello worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 25 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 From Polignano : Unesco Tour-Guided tour of Matera and Alberobello?
+
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 From Polignano : Unesco Tour-Guided tour of Matera and Alberobello suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book From Polignano : Unesco Tour-Guided tour of Matera and Alberobello?
+
Around 9 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does From Polignano : Unesco Tour-Guided tour of Matera and Alberobello 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.
