Alberobello and Matera Bus Tour, from Bari
Overview

Mobile ticket
In this tour we will visit the wonderful town of Alberobello (also known as the city of trulli) and Matera
Alberobello was named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996 because it is an exceptional example of building construction with prehistoric techniques that have survived intact and are still functioning in the modern world.
A "Trullo" is in fact a small limestone house, made with dry stone walls, roughly worked limestone blocks collected from nearby fields and topped with a conical roof.
Souvenir shops, B&Bs, bars and restaurants will brighten up your stay in Alberobello.
Matera is the city of the Sassi, the original urban nucleus, developed from natural caves dug into the rock and subsequently modeled into increasingly complex structures within two large natural amphitheatres that are the Sasso Caveoso and the Sasso Barisano.

An Excellent Tour

5.00A very rewarding experience but a full on day, especially in 40° C heat! Very well organised and good value for money. The coach was very comfortable and cool. The drop off point in Matera wasn't ideal. It was quite a long way to the Centro Storico and no toilet facilities at drop off/pick up point. Both Alberobello and Matera are fantastic places to visit. Alberobello is very pretty and Matera very dramatic.
Not satisfied.

5.00We enjoyed our trip to Alberobello and Matera. We did the VIP option with guided tours at both locations with the oil tasting in Alberobello. The tasting was short but enjoyable and the shop where it was held has fantastic local produce. We bought a sandwich and warm cakes which were delicious The guides in both places were friendly and very knowledgeable- special thanks to Pascale in Matera for the great tour (and giving us a euro for the bus back up the hill!) It is worth going on an organised tour for the air conditioned bus! We looked at trains and local buses it it was not straight forward getting to both places
Clean, Comfortable bus ride. Would recommend this tour.

Misleading offer.

3.00It does not include a guide and should be clearer when offering it; they are just shuttles that take you to the place, and the guided tour is charged separately, which also claims to include a tasting, consisting of a 2cm x 2cm snack standing in a tiny business in Matera.
Good day out
