Recommended! With just couple of bucks you have an itinerary connected with google maps, information on monuments and food tips. Matteo it’s also really responsive on WhatsApp and gave me extra tips to explore Puglia after my tour.

Because of a rain storm, our guide pivoted to an oil mill tour and tasting, and then we went on a shorter bike ride once the rain stopped. He was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable, we had a marvelous experience.

I'm a loyal customer to Walking Cap guides. It's a great way to explore cities for a couple of € ! Easy to use, good amount of info and nice food tips! Recommended.
