The tour is guaranteed on minimum 2 partecipants Visit Ostuni with our walking tour in sharing with other travelers and in the company of a local tour guide that will lead you to discover the history, the fascinating landscapes of Ostuni. Perched on the top of a hill at about 200mt in the Valle d’Itria, Ostuni is called the “White City” because all the buildings in its historic center are painted in white lime or whitewashed from the roof down. You will walk along the narrow alleys up at the highest point where there is the Cathedral of Santa Maria dell’Assunzione. Our excursion is even more enchanting thanks to the wonderful setting which surrounds the city; the Ostuni sea. It has been awarded with several “Blue Flags” and has been declared as “the cleanest in Italy”.

Best Ostuni Walking Tour
Lucia’s knowledge of the history of Ostuni is bar none. Plus she is a true local, born and raised. Book with Lucia

Lucia is lovely. Whilst her English was OK, to be honest it wasn't good enough to provide a good overview without confusing us a little.

Steeped in history
Beautiful city giving exactly what you would expect - lovely views. A town steeped in history and should be seen in conjunction with Cisternino and Alberobello for comparison.

Pretty but very chaotic
Ostuni is really pretty and full of life, the only flaw in the restaurant industry, in my opinion not very organized. In August at the height of the season, it was not possible to book a table for dinner, the restaurateurs in the historic center tell you to try to go early, or by phone they put a secretary who gives you fixed times to call and book, only to say that they are already full. One evening, by chance we found a free seat in a place that in the main square, offers cocktails, dinner and some music. After a forty-five minute wait we were served an appetizer, nothing exceptional, and after another hour of waiting to have a first course, which never arrived, we decided to pay and leave.

Nothing much
More than a city I would call it a village. In an hour you saw everything. You could improve the attractions of this village with a few more attractions. Nice old town but short the route to do. In the center they offer bee tours for 30 euros per person (30 minutes) with explanations of points of interest or 15 euros with a 15-minute tour without explanation. I find it a robbery!!!!!! Personally, I was disappointed. Would not recommend it. Easily accessible from Bari by train fs. Then from the station there is a bus that takes you up in a few minutes. Tickets sold at the station bar. The boy is very kind.
Response from the operator: Buongiorno, grazie per il suo commento. Ostuni é un borgo, inserito nella lista dei borghi più belli d'Italia, le attrazioni pertanto non possono essere incrementate, dal momento che si rispetta la bellezza del luogo che preserva una meravigliosa Cattedrale e un centro storico molto particolare. Ci rammarica che non abbia apprezzato l'autenticità di questo posto. Suppongo lei si sia confusa nel rilasciare questa recensione in quanto non vendiamo tour in apecar, ma tour guidati di un'ora e mezza con guida professionista che spiega e racconta tutte le peculiarità del luogo. Non ne sareste rimasti delusi se aveste scelto il nostro servizio. Saluti

Walking tour Ostuni "the white city": questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Brindisi.
How much does Walking tour Ostuni "the white city" cost?
+
Prices start at $285 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Brindisi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Walking tour Ostuni "the white city" take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Brindisi is not rushed.
Is Walking tour Ostuni "the white city" worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Brindisi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Walking tour Ostuni "the white city"?
+
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 Walking tour Ostuni "the white city" suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Walking tour Ostuni "the white city"?
+
Around 2 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 Brindisi 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 Brindisi and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Walking tour Ostuni "the white city" 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 Brindisi 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 Brindisi?
+
On Outty we rank every Brindisi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wine Experience: vineyard, wines and food, Puglia Bike Tour: Cycling Through the History of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Mozzarella Experience - Cheese Tasting Tour at Masseria Fragnite. 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 Brindisi?
+
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 Brindisi?
+
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.
