About this tour
Spend eight hours threading through Puglia's Itria Valley, visiting three distinct villages that showcase the region's layered past and dramatic landscape. You'll explore Alberobello)'s UNESCO-listed trulli—those distinctive cone-roofed dwellings—then wander Cisternino's whitewashed streets before finishing at clifftop Polignano a Mare, where the Adriatic sprawls beneath limestone bluffs. A local guide unpacks centuries of settlement patterns and daily life, while your private vehicle handles the driving between stops.

What to expect
Your guide will meet you at your accommodation and drive you into the heart of Itria Valley. In Alberobello, you'll walk among trulli buildings and learn how families actually lived in these stone structures across generations. Cisternino offers a slower pace—its piazzas and residential quarters feel lived-in rather than staged. The final stop at Polignano a Mare delivers the visual payoff: whitewashed buildings perched on cliffs, with sheer drops to rocky coves below. There's time to absorb each village rather than rush through. Expect a mix of walking (mostly flat, easy pace) and sitting in the vehicle between locations.
