Puglia & Basilicata Tours: Explore the Charm of Italy's Heel

Nestled in southern Italy, our Puglia and Basilicata tours offer an enchanting blend of landscapes, history, and cuisine ideal for group travel. Puglia, with its distinctive “heel” shape, boasts unique regional contrasts between the lush Gargano Peninsula, known for its forests and Vieste’s pristine beaches, and the sun-drenched Salento in the south, famed for Lecce's baroque architecture and Otranto's seaside charm.

In Puglia, the "white city" of Ostuni dazzles with limestone alleys, while Alberobello showcases iconic trulli houses, and Polignano a Mare impresses with cliffside views. Across the regional border in Basilicata, Matera’s ancient cave dwellings captivate all who visit, making it a UNESCO World Heritage gem.

In addition to guided tours showcasing cultural gems like Castel del Monte, Michelangelo International Travel offers a diverse range of themed group tours. Our Gusto culinary tours introduce groups to Puglia’s rich flavours with activities like cooking classes and tastings of local olive oil, pasta, and wines. For outdoor enthusiasts, our activo tours provide group-friendly hiking, biking, and yoga itineraries.
