What to expect
You'll cover significant distance across central Puglia, moving between inland villages and pockets of protected parkland. Expect to spend time on foot exploring each stop—streets are steep and uneven in places, particularly in the old towns. The pace is unhurried; your guide stops regularly to point out architectural details, explain local customs, and answer questions. Much of the drive winds through countryside rather than following main roads, giving a truer sense of how the region sits between the Adriatic and the interior plateau.
Good to know
Bring water and wear comfortable walking shoes with grip. Food and drinks aren't included; you can request stops at local spots for snacks or lunch at your own cost. Not suitable if you have heart or mobility concerns. Children need adult supervision throughout.
