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.

I will be happy to share with you my extensive experience as tourist a guide, wine and olive oil sommelier to lead you in a marvellous tour to discover two astonishing destinations in two areas of Puglia: Lecce in Salento and Alberobello in Valle d'Itria. In Lecce (called the Florence of the South thanks to the abundance of its architecture; included in the tentative list of Unesco; listed by Lonely Planet in the top ten of the cities to visit) we can enjoy its history and architecture (from the Roman domination to the baroque period). Alberobello is an Unesco site thanks to its trulli (there are about 1. 500): a unique kind of corbelled dry stone (mortarless) buildings that have survived quite intact and functioning into the modern world. Lots of them are still used as homes and the others as restaurants, shops, tourist accommodations. A tour to discover the trulli (their history, architecture, the mystery and symbolism of their finials) and to enjoy the fairytale atmosphere of this amazing village.
- 1 hour driving from Brindisi to Alberobello - visit the two old Unesco districts of Trulli: Aia Piccola and Monti - 1 hour and 20 minutes driving to get to Lecce Walking tour including the most important monuments: - the ancient city gates (Napoli and/or Rudiae or San Biagio); - the baroque architecture of the noble palaces (Carafa, Adorno, Marrese, Palmieri-Guarini, etc. ), the Duomo and its stunning square, the Celestini palace and the astonishing facade of the Basilica di S. Croce and some other churches (S. Irene, S. Matteo, S. Chiara); - the Roman Theatre, Sant'Oronzo square and the Roman Amphitheatre. 30 minutes driving to come back to Brindisi. Depending on your interests and available time we can also enjoy: - artisan workshops and ateliers with papier-maché, clothing and accessories, perfumes; - food tour: food daily market, tastings of olive oil, wine, cheese, charcuterie, ice cream, coffee at an artisanal roasting bar, the traditional rustico and pasticciotto; - the Jewish heritage
