The experience

The coach leaves Bari in the morning and carries you through Puglia's inland and coastal villages over nine and a half hours. You get audio guides and digital maps in English, Spanish, Italian, French or German, plus an information brochure with practical advice for each stop. There's no guide on board. You move through the villages at your own pace, which means you can linger where you want and skip what doesn't interest you.

Polignano a Mare sits on the coast, its old town built into cliffs above the sea. You walk through cobbled streets and characteristic balconies, and the famous Lama Monachile, a natural inlet framed by rock, is the landmark most people come to see. The village is decorated with Christmas lights during the holiday season, which wraps the narrow alleys in colored illumination. You can taste local specialties at restaurants and cafés scattered through the town, though food and drink are not included in the price.

Alberobello, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is built entirely of trulli: small conical stone dwellings unique to this region. The village becomes a fairytale during Christmas, with colored lights and artistic projections turning each trullo into a canvas. You explore the historic districts and craft shops freely, moving through alleys that wind between these distinctive buildings. Locorotondo closes the day: its circular streets spiral around a hilltop, lined with whitewashed houses that reflect golden Christmas lights. The central square often holds a large tree and seasonal events, and from the town you see across the Itria Valley.

The return journey to Bari ends the day. The air-conditioned vehicle, parking fees and transport by bus are all included. Infants can travel in a pram or stroller, and specialized infant seats are available. Public transportation options exist near the departure point if you need an alternative to the coach pickup.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (6 to 15 years); Infant (under 6): free.

What is Lama Monachile in Polignano a Mare?

Lama Monachile is a natural inlet set into the cliffs of Polignano a Mare's coastline, framed by rock formations and visible from the old town's streets and balconies. It's the most iconic view in the village and the reason most visitors come to Polignano.

Can I eat lunch during the day trip?

Food and drink are not included in the tour price, but restaurants and cafés are scattered through each village. You choose where and what to eat during your time in Polignano, Alberobello and Locorotondo.

Do I have a guide walking with me through the villages?

No guide travels on board. You explore each village independently using audio guides and digital maps provided in your choice of five languages, plus an information brochure with practical advice for visiting each stop.

What makes Alberobello a UNESCO World Heritage Site?

Alberobello is built of trulli, small conical stone dwellings found nowhere else in the world. The entire village is constructed this way, making it unique in architecture and historic value, which is why it earned UNESCO protection.
