Alberobello trulli walking tour with guide Rione Monti
Alberobello trulli walking tour with guide Rione Monti★★★★★★★★★★ 4.50 (72)2hThis walking tour of Alberobello covers the UNESCO World Heritage town's two main districts with a professional guide in English or Italian. You explore the Monumental Trulli Area (Rione Monti), where over a thousand cone-shaped houses now house artisan workshops and cafes, then move to Rione Aia Piccola, the only neighborhood that has remained residential and free of commercial activity. The tour includes a visit to Casa d'Amore, a National Monument since 1930, and ends at the Trullo Church of Sant'Antonio on the city's highest point, where panoramic views open across the clustered rooftops. The tour runs 1.5 to 2 hours and requires a minimum of two people per booking; private and shared options are both available.Is it for me?Choose the private tour if you want the guide's attention focused on your group and the flexibility to linger at any stop; the shared tour works better if you prefer a smaller cost and don't mind a group pace. Either way, the residential quarter (Rione Aia Piccola) is what sets this walk apart—it's where you see how people actually live in the trulli, not how they've been packaged for visitors.Free cancellationTravelers' pickBest valuefrom€ 30View ›
