About this tour
Navigate Alberobello at your own pace with the i-Tourist app, which unlocks 11 audio guides across this UNESCO-listed trulli village in Puglia. Over 2.5 to 3 hours, you'll wander the whitewashed lanes of Rione Monti and Rione Aia Piccola, visit the rare two-storey Trullo Sovrano and the striking Church of Sant'Antonio, whilst discovering local stories and artisan traditions through your smartphone. The self-guided format lets you linger where you choose, ideal for travellers who prefer exploration without a set itinerary.

What to expect
Download the i-Tourist app and follow GPS directions to each stop. The audio commentary delivers context on architecture, history and Apulian customs without rushes. You'll traverse narrow, steep cobbled alleys—manageable but uneven—passing working studios and small shops. Expect to move slowly; the village rewards dawdling. Quieter early morning or late afternoon visits offer fewer crowds. Rione Monti feels more touristy; Rione Aia Piccola more residential and atmospheric. Plan water and comfortable shoes; there's limited shelter from sun.
Good to know
App access is included; entrance fees to churches and museums cost extra and are paid on-site. The village sits on a hillside with stairs throughout, though main routes are wheelchair accessible. Allow flexibility—the 2.5–3 hour estimate depends on your pace and photo stops. Bring a fully charged phone and consider a portable charger.
