Alberobello, Locorotondo & Ostuni: Full-Day Private Tour

Three villages in one day: trulli houses, flower-filled balconies, and a white city on the coast

A private full-day tour of three villages in Puglia's Itria Valley region, with a licensed guide and driver. Begin in Alberobello exploring its UNESCO-listed trulli, distinctive dry-stone houses with conical roofs, then move to Locorotondo's circular historic center and whitewashed houses overlooking vineyards, and finish in Ostuni perched on a hill above the sea, where whitewashed alleys and stairways lead to the Cathedral at the town's highest point.

The experience

The trulli of Alberobello are the anchor of this tour: cone-roofed stone houses built without mortar, clustered in a UNESCO district that your guide will walk you through, explaining their history and the cultural weight they carry in the region. You'll have time to wander the narrow alleys and piazzas on your own, and an hour built into the itinerary for lunch before you move on.

Locorotondo sits next, a village built in a perfect circle around its historic center, known for whitewashed houses with flower-filled balconies and views down into the Itria Valley's patchwork of vineyards and countryside dotted with more trulli. The route gives you space to walk the cobblestone streets and take in the panoramic viewpoints without rushing.

Ostuni, called La Città Bianca, The White City, closes the day. It climbs a hillside in a maze of whitewashed alleys, hidden courtyards, and stairways that lead upward to the Cathedral at the town's summit, where you can stand and look out over olive groves and the Adriatic coastline. The full tour runs 8 to 9 hours depending on your pickup location, and your private driver and guide stay with you throughout.
