Great service from AuthenticPugliaTours!

Communication was excellent from the start and when needed on our tour. The digital map was a blessing and the rustic accommodation was perfect!

Ian Southall

A great experience in so many ways!

06-Sep-2019

AuthenticPugliaTours was highly responsive and helped us before, during and after the holiday with all those small issues that could easily have reduced our enjoyment. The digital map was new to us. We found it very helpful indeed and liked the additional information it carried. Thank you AuthenticPugliaTours, our holiday experience was definitely enhanced by your seemingly 24/7 personal support.
