Discover and enjoy the authentic Puglia. Welcome in Puglia (or Apulia): the sunny and windy "heel of the Italian boot". We are Italy's easternmost region, right in the middle of the Mediterranean sea with culture and traditions that are the results of several different dominations, cultural and economic influences. First of all I'm a traveler (for leisure and work) and I like to discover foreign countries and their culture, traditions, food, people, etc. I have been working in tourism since 1998 as travel designer, event organizer, licensed tourist guide, nature (hike and bike) and interpretive guide, tour leader, food and wine lover (olive oil taster, wine sommelier). I'm passionate about my region and I like to share our amazing attractions and culture with other people. Puglia is an "easy region": the weather is quite warm all year long (the best time to come is from March to November but it's worth to come also in winter time), people is friendly (… but only a few people speaks English or another foreign language), there are always lots of events and things to do and our Mediterranean diet is healthy and tasty for everybody (amazing choice of tasty meat, fish, pasta, rice, legumes, vegetables and fruit recipes). Travelers who come for the first time in Puglia usually are fascinated by the Puglian daylight and the colours of the seaside and the countryside. I'll share with you the soul of Puglia, its culture, traditions, flavors, nature, scent, vibes . . . If you're looking for an hyper detailed and boring visit I'm not the tour guide for you but if you like a friendly and easy going person who will make his best, thanks to his experience and empathy, to understand and satisfy your needs, to suggest the right choices matching with your interests, to introduce in our culture and traditions, to help you in spending a very nice time … then contact me. I'm a licensed tour guide, nature (hike and bike) guide, environmental educator; wine sommelier, certified olive oil taster, tour leader. Education and training: University degree with experimental final essay (with photographic appendix) in Geography about Apulian rural buildings (masseria, villa, trullo); Master in Tourism Economics and Management; Professional training courses: tour guide, nature and interpretive guide, environmental educator, bike guide, bicycle mechanic, BLSD (Basic Life Support Defibrillation), inclusive and accessible tourism; Cooking, wine and extra virgin olive oil tasting classes; Workshop about recognition of Apulian wild orchids; Photography's workshop about show and Entertainment, nature. PLEASE WRITE ME BEFORE BOOKING (this way we will be sure the tour will match perfectly your needs in terms of price, service included, date, start time, duration, etc.). THIS WAY IS EASIER AND FASTER FOR YOU AND ME.

As if we were painters, we expertly mix the different colors that characterize Puglia to create an overall picture of this wonderful region: the blue of the sky and the seaside, the green of the countryside, the grey of the stones, the white of the houses, the rubby red of the wines. Sightseeing in the charming Locotorondo, the fabulous Alberobello with its trulli (a unique kind of ancient corbelled dry stone conical roof dwellings), the romantic Polignano a Mare (the birthplace of Domenico Modugno the co-author and singer of the world famous song "volare … nel blu dipinto di blu … oh oh oh oh "). A unique experience to visit a family run farmstead to learn the traditional cheese (mozzarella and burrata) making process and to enjoy a yummy farm to table lunch. Thanks to my long-standing experience as tour guide, nature guide, wine and evo sommelier I've designed for you an amazing and tasty day!
- In Alberobello we will enjoy the two old districts (Aia Piccola and Monti) declared, in 1996, world heritage site by Unesco. There we will visit the interior of some of the 1. 500 trulli located in the village to learn about their history, legends, architecture, the mystery and symbolism of their pinnacles (finials). - Visit to a dairy farm with cheese (mozzarella and burrata) making demostration and farm to table lunch with local delicacies. - A stroll in Locotorondo (the round town because of the circular layout of its historic city center): listed as one of the most beautiful hamlet in Italy with its terrific skyline, the "cummerse" (a typical architecture characterized by a stone triangular roofs), the breathtaking view of Itria Valley. - Polignano a Mare with its lively and picturesque historic city center, the stunning seaview from the terraces up on the cliffs, the bridge along an old roman road overlooking the iconic beach of Lama Monachile. We can personalize the tour as you like.
