Spend 10 hours by private coach from Bari to UNESCO Alberobello and Matera. Self-guided with QR maps, plus a smooth day plan.
“I liked the fact that I had reliable transport to 2 sites that difficult to reach by public transport in one day. The bus was clean and the driver very joyful. Upon embarking everyone was given a brochure with the exact schedule, highlights, meeting points & times. The maps with suggested walking routes around Alberobello and Matera were accessible via QR code. Thus everyone could explore independently unless a tour guide was booked in addition. I would have wished for someone to greet the passengers at the very beginning and inform them about the WR codes and information contyin the brochure as some of the older people were unaware of…”
