About this tour
An eight-hour bus tour from Bari exploring two of Puglia's most distinctive towns: the whitewashed cone-roofed trulli of Alberobello and the clifftop village of Polignano a Mare. Rather than rushing between photo stops, this tour builds in breathing room to wander at your own pace, with a lively onboard atmosphere, cold water, snacks and WiFi included. The coach itself becomes part of the experience—comfortable, air-conditioned, and staffed to keep everything running smoothly.
Highlights
- Alberobello's UNESCO-listed trulli houses and winding streets
- Polignano a Mare's dramatic Adriatic cliffside setting
- Self-paced exploration without locked itineraries
- Onboard entertainment and engaging atmosphere
- Optional tuk-tuk tour add-on in Polignano
- Modern coach with WiFi and complimentary refreshments
What to expect
You'll spend the morning in Alberobello, wandering among the cone-shaped stone dwellings that cluster together on steep hillsides. There's no shepherd's pace here—you're free to duck into artisan shops, grab coffee, or simply sit and sketch. After regrouping on the coach, you head south to Polignano a Mare, where pastel buildings cling to dramatic white limestone cliffs above a turquoise sea. Again, time is yours to explore the maze-like centro storico, peer down into hidden coves, or settle on a terrace. The bus journey itself isn't dead time: expect curated music, light refreshments, and staff who anticipate what you'll need.
Good to know
Lunch is not included—plan ahead in either town, where trattorias are plentiful. Bring comfortable walking shoes for cobblestone streets and hills. The tuk-tuk upgrade in Polignano is optional but worthwhile for seeing elevated views. Prams and infant seats are available; infants must sit on an adult's lap during transit.
