About this tour
Spend ten hours exploring three essential Puglian towns on a guided coach tour from Bari. Gravina reveals a dramatic ravine dotted with cave churches and an engineering marvel in its aqueduct bridge. Altamura showcases a Romanesque cathedral and the region's celebrated bread tradition within winding medieval lanes. The tour concludes in Trani, where a cathedral seemingly floats above the Adriatic and an ancient harbour invites wandering. Digital audio guides and maps support independent exploration between stops.
Highlights
- Gravina's limestone canyon carved with Byzantine-era rock sanctuaries
- Altamura cathedral and artisan bakeries producing protected-origin bread
- Trani's 12th-century basilica perched above the harbour entrance
- Ancient port walks and waterfront views at sunset
- Medieval streets and local craft shops away from main routes
What to expect
You'll travel by comfortable coach with stops timed to avoid rushing. In Gravina, wander the gorge and peer into cave churches—a guide explains their history if you've booked that option. Altamura's cathedral impresses immediately; allow time to browse neighbourhood bakeries and family-run shops selling textiles and ceramics. Trani's seafront is best explored on foot, circling the cathedral and strolling the quay where fishing boats still dock. The audio guides work well if you prefer a looser pace, though internet connection is essential.
Good to know
Bring water and sun protection; Gravina's canyon offers little shade. Wear comfortable walking shoes—medieval cobblestones are uneven. Food and drink aren't included, so budget for lunch in Altamura or Trani. Prams and infant seats are available on request.
