Beautiful walk through Alberbello. Valeria was an incredible guide, very knowledgeable and moved at a perfect pace for our family, and some young children.
Thank you very much Mike and your wonderful family 😊
Outstanding tour and fascinating to learn about this unique village! We particularly liked the older part of the town.
Thank you very much Leonard! It's been such a nice time with you and your lovely family
Our second tour with Valeria. Comprehensive and detailed tour with a special tasting event at the end. In our opinion Valeria is a highly experienced tour guide and we would not hesitate in recommending her.
Bonnie and Clive Grazie Mille 🙏🏻
Valeria was a great tour guide, she is very knowledgeable and has an obvious love of her job. We all enjoyed our tour very much. The olive oil and balsamic tasting at the end of the tour was very interesting.
Thank you so much Christine. It's been a nice time with you and your group 🤗
Our guide, Valeria, was excellent. She was articulate, informative, and engaging. I definitely would recommend taking a tour with her.
Thank you so much Bill 😊
This was our third walking tour with Valeria in the Apulia region. She is a fantastic guide - we learned a lot about the trullo houses and culture and history of this UNESCO heritage city. The tour ended with an informative olive oil tasting - we were so impressed with the products we had a big order shipped home. Valeria was very kind to adjust the length of the tour to accommodate my slow pace (as I had hurt my left foot earlier in our trip). So once again, we highly recommend this walking tour with Valeria!!
Margaret and Martin 🤗🤗 Thank you so much!
Valeria more than met all our expectations. She is extremely gracious, helpful and has great knowledge to share. She gave us nice tips for our visit to Ostuni.
Thanks so much for your kind words Margit, Gabriela and Oskar. Really nice to meet you 🤗
Our guide, Valeria, really knew the history and stories of the village. It would have been difficult to understand Alberobello without a guide. The village is very popular with tourists and therefore crowded, but Valeria navigated around to avoid some of the chaos. The olive oil tasting was a nice stop, as part of our tour, and the young lady at the shop gave us a fun education in the various types of olive oils. Very nice tour.
Thank you for your kind words Ken and Sharon 😊 Pleased to have met you in Alberobello
Our guide in Arberobello (Cosima) was very kind and easy to follow. She shared many fascinating and authentic stories that only locals know. The testing of olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small shop was both educational and memorable. From now on, we will always remember the true taste of real extra virgin olive oil. The teenargers enjoyed the tour too.
Thank you very much Miran! Valeria 😉
Valeria has provided us with a fascinating excursion with an instructive explanation of the trulli that make this area so well known. We look forward to the next excursion with Valeria in Ostuni.
Thank you so much Noel and Kyra, see you soon in Ostuni 😊
