Here you will receive our information brochure, designed to accompany each guest step by step, providing interesting facts, maps, and useful tips to make the most of the experience.

Thanks to the illustrative material provided, each stop will be experienced in complete autonomy but with an authentic and local perspective, as if you were guided by someone who has known these places forever. The first stop will be Polignano a Mare, home of Domenico Modugno and famous for its crystal clear sea and spectacular sea caves. Strolling through the historic center, you can admire traces of the Arab, Byzantine, and Norman eras, with breathtaking views of the cliffs that have earned it the name "Pearl of the Adriatic." Alternatively, you can skip this stop and join the group directly in Polignano a Mare at 11:30 a.m. at the meeting point in Via Guglielmo Marconi 6. The second stop will be Ostuni, known as the "White City" because of its whitewashed houses. Visitors can lose themselves in picturesque alleys, reach the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta with its imposing rose window, and enjoy an exceptional view of the olive groves and the sea. There will be plenty of opportunities to relax in the lively Piazza della Libertà, the beating heart of the city. Finally, the itinerary includes a stop in Locorotondo, one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, awarded the Orange Flag by the Italian Touring Club. Its historic center stands out for its perfect architectural harmony, with its characteristic "cummerse" - white houses with sloping stone roofs - and narrow streets paved with traditional "chianche." An enchanting place where time seems to stand still. At the end of the experience, you will return to Bari or Polignano a Mare, depending on your chosen departure point, enriched by an intense day full of beauty, tradition, and authentic charm of our beloved Puglia.

Rocco was great guide. lots of information and great ride through the olive gardens around Ostuni. English is excellent and he helped with our Italian pronunciation. the wine stop was just enough. he provides a water bottle, but I brought more and drank 3. there is about a km of walking involved as well. we'll book with Rocco again.
