    What you'll see and do

    1. Porto di Bari

      A local driver in a comfortable air-conditioned van will pick you up from your cruise ship dock and take you first to the charming city of Matera where you will mett your local guide and visit the two Unesco site - Sasso Caveoso and Sasso Barisano. This is a truly unique experience among rupestrian (carved in the rocks) churches and houses that are actually partly carved out of the calcareous stone and partly built with blocks extracted from the rock. Then you enjoy a stroll along the panoramic street that overlooks the canyon and wander through the ghost town that has been used as a movie set on several occasions. We visit one (or more) rupestrian church and typically furnished cave dwellings to get a feel of what life was like for a peasant family here up until the 2nd World War.

    Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bari.

    How much does Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli cost?

    +

    Prices start at $653 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 Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 40 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Bari, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli?

    +

    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 Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli?

    +

    Around 0 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli 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, Shared Boat Tour in Polignano a Mare 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.

    What is included in Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Driver; and Transport by air-conditioned minivan. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Bari. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli?

    +

    Is Shore Excursion from Bari Port to Matera Sassi and Alberobello Trulli wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
