What to expect
A gnome village and a north African-style medina – exotic doesn't even begin to describe the stars of this tour. You'll discover the UNESCO-listed fairytale conical-roofed ‘trulli' homes of Alberobello before heading to the whitewashed hilltop town of Ostuni.
First up is Alberobello – it has to be seen to be believed. Hundreds of beehive-topped and white-tipped homes are sprawled over two hills on the southern edge of the town. The style of architecture – no mortar is used – is unique to Apulia and dates to the Middle Ages. You'll learn all about their origins as you stroll around the fairytale-like streets of the town, dropping into one for a tasting of local products.
We'll then head east to Ostuni. Whitewashed houses wind their way up a hill, like a wedding cake crowned by two limestone churches. Arched cobbled alleys have the feel of a Moroccan medina while the cathedral's curvy, three-portal façade boasts three rose windows, with central one laden with medieval cosmological symbolism.

Matera Tour with Cave Homes and Local Food Tasting
Matera has a lot going for it – it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, European Capital of Culture 2019 and a cave city dating back over 5,000 years. Tour its historic lanes and ancient cave dwellings, try local Basilicata food and wine, then choose to visit the cave house museum or a rupestrian church. Anna, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The cave houses of Matera were once considered a shameful place to live, best known for poverty, disease and crime. Nowadays, many caves have been transformed into chic homes, restaurants, and hotels.'Considered one of the most outstanding and intact troglodyte settlements, Matera's big draw are the ancient cave dwellings known as ‘sassi', which translates to ‘stones'. First up, we'll check out the baroque quarter, where churches and palaces are built on top of the caves. Next, we'll venture into the Sasso Barisano and Sasso Caveoso areas to see ancient sassi carved into the flanks of Gravina canyon. The dramatic setting overlooking the wild, rocky landscape is all part of the charm.You'll pause for thought in the old quarters, where inhabitants lived in squalor up until the 1950s, which was when the whole population of around 20,000 was rehoused. Wandering around today's visually arresting town, it seems hard to believe how tough life once was here. You'll also get to try typical food and wine at Lucany Restaurant, before choosing between an optional visit to the cave house museum or a rupestrian church, cut into the rock.
