Details
On this tour, you will discover two gems of UNESCO heritage, steeped in the history and tradition of southern Italy, through a route designed to respect the natural rhythms of the places and allow you to truly experience them, without rushing. The experience begins even before departure, with an assisted check-in phase handled by our local Apulian team, who are always on hand to welcome you, provide support, and share all the useful information you need to enjoy the day in a calm and organized way. In Alberobello, you will visit the village on your own, with the support of clear information material and digital guides designed to help you easily find your way around and understand the significance of the place. Known around the world for its iconic trulli, Alberobello is an intuitive and pleasant village to explore freely, thanks to its compact structure and harmoniously intertwined streets. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, it is an extraordinary example of vernacular architecture: the limestone trulli, built of dry stone, tell of ancient knowledge and create a unique, almost fairy-tale atmosphere. The time available is deliberately generous and well balanced: only in this way can you stroll leisurely through the cobbled streets, linger over the details, enter the small artisan workshops or take a break in the historic cafés, experiencing Alberobello in an authentic and non-superficial way. The tour then continues to Matera, where you will be accompanied by a local Expert Guide, who will be present at the various stops to tell you about the history, architecture, and evolution of the city. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993 and the European Capital of Culture in 2019, Matera is one of the oldest cities in the world, with origins dating back to the Paleolithic period. The guided visit is always balanced with free time, which is essential for leisurely exploring the Sassi, taking photographs, visiting artisan shops, or simply enjoying the unique atmosphere of the rock-carved alleys. Your guide will help you understand the context and then give you the space you need to experience the city at your own pace. This balance between explanations, support, and freedom is what makes the experience truly complete: not a race through iconic places, but a coherent journey, conceived and created entirely by Apulian operators, who know these areas deeply and understand how much the right amount of time makes a difference. A tour designed for those who want to go beyond a hurried visit and return home with the feeling of having truly experienced two of the most fascinating and authentic places in southern Italy.
