About this tour
Ride electric bikes through the rolling Valle d'Itria landscape connecting two hilltop villages in Puglia's trulli heartland. This 3.5-hour guided loop departs Locorotondo, winds past dry-stone walls, vineyards and olive groves toward the famous cone-roofed dwellings of Alberobello, where you'll learn their construction secrets and visit a scenic overlook. Return through whitewashed streets lined with traditional cummerse houses, stopping for gelato along the way. A local guide sets the pace, handles logistics and offers full support so you can focus on the countryside and photo opportunities.

What to expect
You'll start on electric-assisted bikes, which handle the rolling terrain and let you control effort. The route follows unsealed farm tracks and quiet roads through working countryside—vineyards, wheat fields, ancient olive groves—with dry-stone walls framing each vista. In Alberobello, your guide explains why trulli were built this way and what the painted roof symbols signify, then you climb to a vantage point for the full panorama. The return leg takes you through Locorotondo's narrow lanes where whitewashed buildings cluster against steep hillsides. The pace is leisurely with frequent stops for photos and breath. You'll pause for handmade gelato partway through (pay directly at the shop).
